    Books prices for buying on/off and through 3
    Maybe we can put a list together. Many books don't allow this at all, or overcharge like Pinny (for theory behind buying 1/2 and full pt see the book 'win more, lose less').

    The Greek charges 20 cts for the first 1/2 pt, plus another 20 cts if you want to buy the full pt through 3.

    Youwager charges 20 cts, and then 10 cents for the full pt through 3. So if -3.5 is -110, then -2.5 is -140.

    I think I paid .15 to go from 2.5 to 3 on the Jacksonville game last night at VIP.

            Or to cut to the chase, who charges less than 20 cents for a half point move on or off the 3?

            Last year Guardian charged 15. This year it’s 20.

            Last year Legendz charged 15. This year it’s 25.

            Anybody left at less than 20?

              At you wager it shows -140, then it becomes -150 when you try to confirm it.

                Really? Wouldn't surprise me. Sounds just like them. I played -130 (from -110) there last week for 1/2 pt. Sorry about giving the wrong info about the full point.

                  I just have a tough time laying more than -115 for any wager, but then again I don't be the NFL (as I'm sure it comes more into play there)...

                    Yep, the -140 is scalpable, but not -150.
