Buying Points

How To Buy Points

With point spreads and totals betting you are allowed to "buy points" on your wagers.

Buying points allows you to move the line up to 2 points. The way the concept of buying points works is for every ½ point you want to move the line, you must risk an additional 10% juice (except when buying on/off of a 3 for NFL).

For example, you wish to wager Dolphins -7 over the Colts - however, you think they will win by a touchdown. So instead of risking $110 to win $100 at -7, you can risk $120 to win $100 at -6 ½.

Here is a summary of the rules for buying points:

1/2 point - you wager 120/100
1 point - you wager 130/100
1 1/2 points - you wager 140/100
2 points - you wager 150/100

When buying on or off of an NFL 3, there is an extra 10% juice.

You can generally buy up to 2 points on Football or Basketball games.

510	Colts	-3
511	Jaguars	+3

. Moving the Colts to -2½ would cost -130
. Moving the Jaguars to +3½ would cost -130

515	Raiders	+2½
516	Jets	-2½

. Buying the Raiders to 3 would cost -130
. Buying the Jets to -2 only costs -120
