When to Buy Points in Football
Dear Mark,
In sports wagering, when is the best time to buy a half point in football?
Matt M.
Those who dabble in sports betting could do with more than their own fingers and toes to count the times that an extra half point could have turned a draw into a win or a loss into a draw.
Hindsight aside for those above, some sports books do offer the player the option to move the point spread a half point to his advantage.
To buy a half point, you would need to lay down $120 instead of $110 to win $100.
Because many football games end in a 3 or 7 point difference, the best time to buy a half point is when one team is favored by 2.5, 3, 6.5, or 7 points.
