    If you're buying half points on totals...

    You really need to see a counselor or just send me your money. Really .5 pts on NBA/NCAA/NFL relative to the total you are getting ZERO value. OK .0099 value.

    Sorry, just seen one to many posts micromanaging the total.

    Fine on straight lines 3.5, 6.5, 7.5, etc....maybe?? on NFL totals. But , I've seen guys buying .5 on ncaafb over 84ish. Hate to use the EF but really.

    Vito I understand your point and there are a few others but the further you get from 0 (you get the point) the less value.

    Madison,. I get where u coming from... but you have to look at a little different.. the value is much higher than the numbers represent...

    Sometimes that 0.5pt is a win or a loss... if you buy the half a point.. in these type of situations it could either mean a PUSH or a win... Id rather have the latter..

    All things are relative gentlemen. .5 point moving 3 to 3.5 or 6 to 6.5 etc is one thing. But, I see people moving large totals .5 higher. It's all about "relative". Do the math guys.

    just trying to sober some of these folks up, that it's fools money in the long run. That's all!!

    Thks Niko.. the further you get away from zero the less value the .5 means. I understand it might make or break on any given moment but long term no.

    Knew a guy that did not buy a 1/2 point on a NCCA football total 2013 on New Years Day. 4 team Parlay. Cost him 6K. Sometimes it pays to buy the hook.
