BUYING POINTS

You can adjust the point spread on straight wagers and totals by buying up to three points on College Football, two points on NFL, and one point in NBA or College Basketball. 


Example: Ohio State -6 Game Total 55

Points Bought Cost Adjusted Line Cost Adjusted Line
½ $120/100 -5½ 120/100 54 ½
1 $130/100 -5 130/100 54
1 ½ $140/100 -4½ 140/100 53 ½
2 $150/100 -4 150/100 53
2 ½ $160/100 -3½ 160/100 52 ½
3 $170/100 -3 170/100 52

If you buy on or off of #3 or a 7 in the NFL the cost of the wager is 10 cents extra or $130 to win $100. (If you cross over the #3 or 7 when buying, add 10 cents).

Example: Dallas Cowboys at –3½
