Buy 3 Points at -170 Thread

[rm18]

I am going to track this people say this is a bad idea but I always liked it though did not have a good book to do it at until I found BetUSA recently, used to do these at jamaica and back in the day CRIS let me buy more points as well. Going to count them all for 1 unit base no matter what amount I actually bet.

Buy half or 1 point usually is a bad idea unless it is through a key number but it is a good deal to get the last point especially for only an extra 20 cents.

I will try to keep track of the record and also see if it is better than if i did not buy any points. I dont think there is as much value in buying the high spreads but I think the ones I got today are worth doing because St. Louis plays too slow to win by that much and Pitino wont blow out his son by over 30 too often.

[16johnnymac]

Remember Oakland almost beat Pitt Wvu sucks you will need a prayer too

[Romanov]

Cheme and chilidog ran a successful buy-3-points thread for years. You should search for it or pm cheme. We used the half point calculator to calc our edges. You can find +EV doing this, just know what you are doing

SDSU +12.5 almost ran out of cheese to bet but will track it

adding 3 more not looking like a good day 1-0 so far in NCAA but lots of games losing did hit the Wizards in the NBA but most plays are college will just track those. Though I read cheme's thread a little seems like NBA may work better for him.

I had done this before. I think that buying 3 points in basketball is good for 10-point spread or lower, it diminishes for higher spreads.

[2daBank]

3-7 down 8.9 units buying the points did not help once and I am mush

i guess a lot depends on what gms you play but i have had a ton that have came down to a half point or a point either way this year (lost 2 totals today by 1.5 points combined, lol), still so much juice when you lose it tough, think id rather take the close losses at -110 as they tend to balance out anyway i think...hopefully it turns around for you,,,really like uc davis with just the 7 so hopefully you hit that and dont need the extra points....gl going forward.

How strong are feeling with these plays any strong ones and how long have u capped plays in soccer

[rm18]

Strongest play is UC Davis which I am adding now, though my favorite play tomorrow is Stanford but it does not qualify because it crosses 0, you do not want to buy a -2.5 to +.5.

6-15 record without buying points

So so far the system has saved money but I am a horrible handicapper
