[Masu485]

It is a good move with totals and with non-key football numbers, but it is hard for USA bettors to find a book that allows it.

I think the OP is asking about selling points at Sportsbooks, not about SBR points.

Buying points on the spread? Selling points?

I'll sell you some next time you want to sell some for a game, it'll have to be points bet obviously, let me know.

[MJT1212]

No one should EVER stop drinking, drinking is good for the body, soul, and mind!

[Chi_archie]

so can where can you sell points at books open to US players?

[Mudcat]

Selling points is a routine thing for me. At this time of year, I do it every day (usually at Pinnacle).

There are several loan sharks over in the Points Forum that would be more than willing to speak with you...

Why? Personally I don't like to buy or sell points since that increases the juice. For example a pinny -105 -105 line is 10c juice but when you buy/sell 0.5p it's something like -115 +102 13c juice.

[mihaita666]

u can do that at bet365 for sure...

What you are saying makes sense in broad terms. Certainly it would be a bad idea to just sell points randomly.

However I am constantly doing research and have found angles - talking about certain point ranges and/or line movement situations - where it simply pays more when you sell the point even with the increased juice. The amount you lose on wins that become pushes/losses and pushes that become losses, is more than compensated for with the increased payout on wins.

In some cases the difference is quite dramatic. So much so that it has become a high priority in my ongoing research to investigate more point selling opportunities.

good stuff mudcat

Unfortunately, the only two places I am aware of that allow selling have both been mentioned in this thread (Pinny, Bet$3.65), and neither is open to USA.

There some places like 5 Dimes that post Alternate Lines within a couple of points or spread, which is great and virtually the same thing. Unfortunately, they don't do it for all games from all sports.

[mintybetmachine]

matchbook has many alternate lines for almost every game and its open to usa

[smitch124]

I have noticed that several US facing books have a BUY/SELL points pull down menu, but the choices are always to buy only

[Bluehorseshoe]

I use to do it all the time at Bet365. It was great if you could catch a line move.

[bigblacktruck]

what points?

[yisman]

I have noticed that several US facing books have a BUY/SELL points pull down menu, but the choices are always to buy only

yep. A lot of books have that. BetUS, CRIS (I think), etc.

Drop-down menu, but only to buy.

[INVEGA MAN]

I transfered 44 points to the wrong person 2 weeks ago

[mihaita666]

sportingbet is also on this list

and lol again
