    How much should you buy on average for a point on NBA

    anyone can give me an idea how much you should buy per point on the NBA.
    example 1.91 is -5.5 for say NYK, and it goes up to 2.00 for -7.0. Is the 0.9 odds worth the 1.5 point spread?

    Plug it into the half point calculator to find out.

    The answer is no. -7 should be about 2.19

    As said use the calculator, points are non-linear.

    half a point is worth 0.08-0.1 in NBA, so you are much better off with 1.91 -5.5 than 2.00 -7.0

    generaly buying/selling points is not a smart idea, because bookies will sell/buy with more juice than on default spread...

    Rarely ever a good idea to make sweeping generalizations in the Think Tank.
