joeyfitzclick said:you don't buying down to 3 from 3x joey?
Many books charge 10 c for that .5. Guess what that means you are typically doubling your juice for that game. If I dont like a game enough to bet at 3, I'm not going to double my juice to get it at 3.5/2.5.
10 c only for buying down to 3 from 3.5? COuld you share with us which books offer such a deal? Thanks~~ All the books I know charge >20 c for that
tennis28 said:Joey, you are completely misinformed. It's generally accepted by professionals that the half point onto and off the 3 in the NFL is worth 22-23 cents. This means that -3 -132 is equal to -3.5 -110, etc. No book that pays in their right mind would every let you buy from 3.5 to 3 for 10 cents. It can be done for 20 cents though fairly easily at books like betroyal and heritage. And just off the top of my head, a half pt. around the 7 in NFL is around 16-17 cents. The numbers are slightly lower in college. A good way to figure it out is go with what pinnacle says. See how much they charge you for taking a half pt. off and see how much better they make the line when you sell a half point. Now average the two and you have the value of that half point.
