Buying Points
Buy points on your favorite team to shift the point spread or total in a way that makes your bet safer.
Buying Points Shifts The Odds For Maximum Safety
Buying points allows you to move the point spread or total in your favor. For example, you can buy a half-point or full-point to move a spread from -3.5 to -3, or from +2.5 to +3. In return for buying points, you must pay additional vig (commission), usually charging -120 instead of the standard -110.
Key Numbers in Football
Point differentials in football are highly concentrated around key numbers like 3, 7, and 10. Buying a half-point off -3.5 to -3 or +2.5 to +3 is a popular tactic to avoid losing by a hook.
Buying a Half-Point: Giants +2.5 to Giants +3
If the Giants lose by exactly 3 points, a bet on Giants +2.5 would be a loss. By buying the half-point to Giants +3, your bet becomes a push, saving your stake.
Vig Adjustments
Understanding the cost of points. Half-points cost an extra 10 cents on the vig (moving odds from -110 to -120), whereas buying off key numbers (like -3) can cost more depending on the sportsbook rules.
