    WHICH book the best for buying points? NBA~~
    hey people!

    just wanna gather info on which odds are the best for buying points in the nba?

    I heard of BetUs which odds are really low...

    buying 3 points, for example is a mere -170...

    The Greek is worse... buying 3 points at -225, which i can buy 7 points in Betus!

    Im not sure about the rest of the top books.. just to see if u guys are using

    Pinnacle, matchbook, diamond, legend, jamaica??

    and does all books have the buy points function? all suggestions are welcome!

    the Playoffs is near, and buying points can be crucial, so i need to take

    advantage of a book u guys recommend to hunt the bookies down! gd luck to all.

    At matchbook you can't necessarily buy points, but they often have a wide range of options as far as which lines you like, and their odds are ALWAYS better than any other book out there.

        BetUS shorted my buddy when he paid out, don't set up an account with them. Bookmaker is pretty legit, you can buy two points for -150.

                hey ravkes, thanks for intro bookmaker, buying 2 points at -150 is same as Betus, sadly...

                looking for more suggestions in this area?

                take care dude (GSW and JAZZ first half total OVER is a godd bet) =)

                          Becks i made that book up. its a fake book i was just kidding. but please dont buy points its for suckers. ask any good gambler here, dont do bball teasers and never buy points...........does it make you feel all warm inside watching a game at +7 when the real line is +4.5..........yes it feels good but you are throwing so much money away and WAY more often then not it isnt going to fit in that 2.5 pt window. dont buy points, never buy points

                                I roll with 5Dimes and the max point buying for an NBA game on my screen is 2 points @ -155. its been like this on my account all season.

                                edit: disregard my post, just looked and I can buy an ass load of points on NBA today. not sure when that changed as I dont buy them but just like Glitch said, buy as many as you want....

                                  Don't buy points.. It's not a good proposition.

                                    I had quite a success using bet365 this year for buing points. they used to have 2,5 points for -160, now its -165 for most cases. BetUS indeed have 3pts @ -170 but they have shaded lines.

                                    Generally buying is not good as long as there is some really good price (on a 0,5 or 1pt buy)

                                      5 dimes is a pretty solid book.

                                        whats really great on 5 dimes is all the points you can buy on a parlay
                                        it turns it into more of a teaser but i like the options

                                                Buying points is for squares.Most of the time the team will cover the original spread, or buying the points wont help at all and you lose.Plus paying all that extra juice catches up quick.

                                                  It depends on the book, some are 18 and some are 21

                                                    why do you say this? I do it in NCAAB and NBA and crush on those bets. out of like 15 bets where I buy points, maybe 1 or 2 would have won on the original spread or pushed. But usually if a game is like -3, if the winning team has the ball late, they're going to usually go to the line as the other team plays the foul game. Lots of games end up like 8 points apart late due to foul, miss a shot, foul again, foul again etc.

I do it in NCAAB and NBA and crush on those bets. out of like 15 bets where I buy points, maybe 1 or 2 would have won on the original spread or pushed. But usually if a game is like -3, if the winning team has the ball late, they're going to usually go to the line as the other team plays the foul game.

                                                        You should be doing middles then if you are so good at picking games that will hit the spread
