Buying Points
Buying Points allows you the ability to change the point spread of a football or basketball game. You can move the point spread so you get more points if you are betting the underdog or you give away less points if you are betting the favorite. For each half point that you change the point spread you need to pay an extra 10%.
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).
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 only buy a maximum of 3 points in Football and Basketball, both college and pro.
There are two special rules:
- When buying on or off the number 3 in the Pro Football, there is a premium cost of 25%, not 10%. 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. for 1-50 points on college football, there is a 5% additional premium.
b. for buying on or off the number 7 on college football, the premium is 25%.
c. for 1-25 points on professional football, there is a 5% additional premium.
d. for buying on or off the numbers 3 or 7 on professional football, the premium is 25%.
Please note: these premium costs for buying points apply from 12:01am to 11:59pm on the specified half, reduced or no juice day.
