    quick answer would be at least double what is charged for point buying for a whole game...that would be 20 cents for first half half point but with only a small or 1 or 1.5 point Max buy

    This would be terrible advice.

    There is no simple answer largely because values on sides are skewed around half points that would produce a full game tie.

    If you account for the above then the premium, relative to full game values, on totals will be considerably higher than on sides simply due to a lower expectation of deviation.

    why then you guys who said i am why have have not even given anything? I mean how much are you gonna charge?..i think i hit it on the head actually..and anyone who would buy points at half time for prices like that would be insane and out of there bankroll but fast..and like i said thinking about it very quickly i gave that answer and still think its pretty much the best way to go about such a thing. All id did was double what most books charge for point buying in a whole game really and just figured that would be the way to go...im sure there is a very good reason why nobody(that i know of or heard of) offers halftime point buying anyways.

    Azzuri,


    u can buy/sell half time points... but points r not all worth the same amount so the Q "how much is a point worth" is not a good Q.

    DUC?

    how to calculate them is in this thread but in much more detail in this forum, just search a bit more.
