Only buy the hook in NFL to go from -3 to -2.5. All other times you are wasting profits on juice.

Long term it's not worth it. It always feels like the right thing to do when it saves you, but a vast majority of the time you're just wasting profits.

Gents, you do not buy off a push. You buy to push on a 3 or 7.

Occasionally off/on key numbers. Everything else is losing long term

3 and 7 are the only numbers in fb to possibly thing about buyin off it..such as buy down off the 3 to 2.5 and off the seven 6.5 and off 7 to + 7.5 but ony if you shooting for a side or middle when you have taken the best original number.........otherwise....you really should never buy poits at all..........

Instead of taking our word, go check out that wizardofodds website and do some reading. There's a lot of great resources out there and if you dig hard enough, there's a lot of great resources here too. I am collecting the most useful threads and creating a link list for everyone.
