    Banned from buying points by Bet Mania
    This has to be one of the strangest things that has happened to me, I could understand if they wanted to cut limits but I have never had anything like this happen before. I guess I would still recommend them though for their bonus, but first they take away account transfers, and it is $30 per 2500 via neteller and now this.

      What game were you trying to buy points in anyways RM?

      I personally i'm not too fond about buying points at all. I really don't think it's worth the risk at all, but thats just my opinion.

        A bunch of college game last week, I had Cal -6.5 -127, ND -6.5 -127, and and others. basically buying through 7 on a bunch of college games, I think I won like 4/6 but it is not like any of them actually landed on the number. Betmania does not offer buying off the 3 to anyone.

        There is a lot of value in buying points points bbd, a lot of the top rated books give you a 10 cent buy through 3 in college. I got some nice ones for tomorrow/today with.

        FSU -2.5 -140
        ND -2.5 -145
        Illinois -2.5 -115
        Michigan St. +3.5 -125

          If you look at the differences in the drop down at pinnacle I think they are pretty accurate on the value of the points, even some lines you might not think of like Tampa Bay from 5.5 to 7.5 actually has value

            125 cent juice on 4 plays

            All together you are risking 5.25 units to win 4 units -131

            Too much risk not enough reward here..

              Buying through the 7 in NCAAF is a good play, if it is 10 cents. The 7 hits a lot more than 4.4% (I'd guess 7. Anyone else have a number?)

                  brother look at the -2.5 juice vs the ML juice and you can see these are good plays, it will probably work out like 2 of 4 hit at the normal number, and the buying gets me one extra winner. I got Illinois at -2.5 -115, I could come back with Syracus +2.5 +121 right now, but there is no need to.

                    I'd agree. I supposed it's better than geting the boot but I don't like when books try to restrict certain players from certain actions. Offer it or don't. It's called overhead.

                    I always liked the fat guy coming into the buffet analogy... "You can't eat the lobster if you want buffet"

                    WagerWeb prop bets not for all bettors...bush league.

                    Yesterday a player complained because 724Sports canceled his correlated parlay on double digit spread. They offered it but told him he can't hit those anymore...bush league

                      It has been reported that the former Millennium owner now owns BetMania. If true, you're better off not betting at BetMania. They do not take kindly to winners. Bonus stealing was routine at Millennium before they shutdown and stiffed everyone.

                            BetMania denies Norm owns them but the poster would not back down and he was posting in CR. They are running the book exactly the way Norm ran Millennium. The snake oil salesman Phil Steele is being paid off to recommend them too. Just like he did with Millennium.

                            Pinnacle is the best for buying points. No need to be playing at these garbage books.
