Buying Points

Buying Points is limited to football and basketball only. In 1/2 point increments, you can buy from 1/2 a point to a total of 3 points. Buying points can only be applied to a pointspread wager or to an over/under. You cannot buy points on a moneyline. There is a charge for every half-point you buy which will show on your bet ticket. There is an additional charge in football pointspreads when you buy points that move the line onto or off of 3 or 7. Charges are set by sportsbook management and may change without notice. Point-buy wagers may not be included in parlay wagers.

Example 1

In this example, assume the price for buying a half-point is $0.10

The line is:

Detroit Pistons +4 -110

You buy 1/2 point, the line is now:

Detroit Pistons +4.5 -120

Example 2

In this example, assume the price for buying a half-point is $0.10 and the extra charge for buying onto the 3 pointspread is $0.15

The line is:

Dallas Cowboys +2.5 -110

You buy 1/2 point, the line is now:

Dallas Cowboys +3.0 -135
