Buying Points
Buying points allows you to improve the Point Spread or Totals odds of a football or basketball contest by actually buying points for the team you want to wager on.
You can buy points to your advantage on the sports of football and basketball. Points can be bought on the side or on the total. Each half point costs you an additional 10 cents to the dollar. Buying onto or off of the point spread of 3, in football only, costs 20 cents to the dollar (instead of 10 cents).
| Example |
----------------------------
Cowboys -7 1/2
Redskins 48
-------------------------------
|
If you desire to win $100.00 USD on the Cowboys however feel that they will not win by more than a touchdown (7 pts.) you have the option to buy a half-point (or more) to obtain your desired line. Normally you would risk $110.00 USD to win $100.00 USD, however with the purchase of the additional 1/2 point you will now risk $120.00 USD to win $100.00 USD with the adjusted line being Cowboys -7.
Likewise when purchasing a 1/2 point "on" or "off" of the point spread of three (+/- 3) you will be obligated to risk an additional 10 cents to the dollar and will be forced to risk $130.00 USD to win $100.00
