Unless I can double or treble them up I tend to give them a miss as I feel they generally don't provide much value for money, in RL anyways. The NFL handicaps market is an absolute dream if you keep up with the game. Boylesport in particular seem to run a couple of hours behind the news and have provided me with some very profitable Sunday evenings.
I only really bet on three sports ... Racing and Football for small stakes and for the interest (unless I'm actually there and then this increases) and RL for bigger stakes as that is my perceived area of some expertise. The size of the bet on a RL handicap will generally vary between £55 and £165 depending on my confidence in the bet. I have been known to go to between £200 - £250 occasionally.
I understand the theory of putting these in doubles and trebles for better value and do occasionally do that but in truth I tend in the main to stick to singles (especially on televised games).
