Buying points allows you to change the point-spread or total of a football or basketball game.
You can move the point-spread so you get more points when betting the underdog or you give away fewer points when betting the favorite. For each half point that you change the point spread you need to pay an extra 10c.
So, for example, if you are betting the Lakers -5 -110 (lay $110 to win $100), you can buy the Lakers a half point to -4.5 -120 (lay $120 to win $100). You can buy the Lakers a full point to -4 -130 (lay $130 to win $100).
The same theory is true for the underdog. If the Bulls are +4 -110, you buy the game to +4.5 -120 or +5 -130.
You can buy a maximum of 3 whole points in Football and Basketball, both College and Professional.
There are two special rules:
- When buying on or off the number 3 in the Pro Football, there is a premium cost of 25c, not 10c. So, for example, to move the Chargers from -3 -110 to -2.5, the new line will be -2.5 -135 (lay $135 to win $100). The same is true for the underdog, to buy Bears from +3 -110 to +3.5 will be -135 (lay $135 to win $110).
- On half, reduced or no juice games or half, reduced or no juice days, there are additional premium costs for buying points:
a) In college football there is a 5c additional charge per half point purchased.
b) For buying on or off the number 7 in college football, the premium is 25c.
c) In professional football there is a 5c additional charge per half point purchased.
d) For buying on or off the numbers 3 or 7 in professional football, he premium is 25c.
Please note: these premium costs for buying points apply from 2:01am to 11:59pm EST on the specified half, reduced or no juice day. |
