I read people saying i got them at -130, but bought some back at the end of the game. What does that mean?

Thanks

it means they then took the other side

in this case - if you take a team A @ -130, if you bought back some (and it would have to be BEFORE the game) it would taking team B at maybe, say, +120

you will lose some money no matter who wins the game - but in this case you lose very little instead of a lot if your original bet loses.

this can be done in case of an injury to one side or changing weather conditions or....

Buying back to secure profits you may have won earlier in the day too....You may go 5-0 early and decide to take your profits, buy back other games, or reduce wagers...sometimes you can even buy back with the possibility of a middle (very rare though , it does happen especially in college football )

Also buying back at Halftime can be an effective tool ...

ACTUALLY JOURNEY, YOU'RE RIGHT WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT THAT, BUT IN YOUR EXAMPLE OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALFTIME, IT'S CALLED TAKE BACK, NOT BUY BACK..

YOU BUY BACK ON THE MONEYLINE, AND YOU TAKE BACK ON THE SPREAD..

BUT YOUR EXAMPLE WAS STILL GOOD AND RIGHT ON, EXCEPT FOR THE EXACT TERMINOLOGY..

IT'S A REAL SHAME YOU ARE NOT COMING ON THIS TRIP. WE COULD HAVE HAD A GREAT TIME BOTH OF US SITTING THERE AND TALKING ABOUT THERX. WE WOULD HAVE HAD A BALL ALL THE GANG SITTING AT THE BJ TABLES ACTING NUTS..

JOURNEY, I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE NOT COMING.. YOU REALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE. YOU'RE HOME ALL DAY DOING NOTHING, WHY NOT COME BY THERE. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT, THEN I AM SURE SHRINK WOULD PAY FOR IT. SHRINK IS A CLASSY GUY AND IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, THEN YOU REALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO COME.

GET YOUR ASS IN VEGAS JOURNEY, YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO COME..YOU ARE GOING TO MISS THE GREATEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE.
