If your man has 17 1/2 when you go to put this in you buy the half and only lay -17. Don't ever, I repeat, don't you EVER get beat by the hook. Only lay 17.
HAPPY BOY

He's also the tout who's the inspiration for the worst gambling movie I've ever seen. Why Pacino agreed to be in that piece of garbage I'll never understand.

I am intrigued man , what was wrong with the movie two for the money? You didnt like the movie ? Why not ? I dont understand what you are even saying , the inspiration ? You are talking about the movie two for the money ?
ps . I think alot of problem communicating like this is because people are from other countries or dont type what they really mean .

movie sucked but it was a great day
It was 10/10/2005
I threw 18000 on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Actually two $9000 bets cuz there the stations are jews. It was a monday night game. I was at the Sante Fe Station and then I went to watch the movie in the casino theater. Movie sucked but later that day the Steelers covered. It was the perfect day. The movie ticket is right next to me. I love it when a plan comes together.

Never buy the half. Use a line service and get it 70% of the time for free. Get your capping ready by mid week because there is still float and movement on the lines. In the other 30% where you cant scoop the half point for free just pass the game.

Does anyone realize anyone that buys a 1/2 point is the ultimate non pro and square
Any serious sports bettor never buys or sells points in any sport period. It is a sucker bet.

If the price is right, buy it! If your bookie can beat Pinnacle's price tag you might have good value or gauge it with Ganchrow's half point Calculator.

thats true for buying points too. Its a bad idea. However, if once or twice a year u buy a -7 to -6.5 on a large bet and it wins because of that its worth it. I find myself in that spot maybe once or twice a year. Then u dont play into the sucker odds of buying points. Its one individual game over the course of year. Then it may be worth it. That once.

Not surprising, but if you use that and compare to what pinnacle charges to buy/sell -- they are getting the better end of the deal every single time.

It depends on what they charge to see if it's worth it. Winning the bet is irrelevant. Bets win/lose, you want to make the more profitable long term play. You would think a pro would know that.

dude dont listen to these idiots
if u bought the points on either one of those games and bet big and won or pushed it is WELL worth it. U keep doing that ur an idiot. But an isolated buy half a point once a year is no big deal and if ur lucky it could help alot. and if it doesnt no big deal.

All I am saying is to "say NEVER buy a 1/2 point" is IDIOTIC.
No I dont think you should buy every hook but there are times it is well worth it.

Guys its not that cut and dry. Like Bill said, if the price is right (matchbook alt lines) then buy the half point. Using the half point calculator, if the price is right I'll buy the half point everytime.

good for you man. I hope whatever u do works.
But I stick to my strategy and u should do the same. But this never buy a half ****in point ever or ur whole season is ****ed is for the birds.
Everyone here tries to make there points objectively. Not realizing that gambling is subjective. We dont all play the same game every week. We play different games at different lines with different circumstances EVERY GAME EVERY DAY. How the **** are you gonna make objective laws for a subjective subject. Only if ur a moron.

this is the best advice. However, i dont think u can use the word never (subjective vs objective). There are just too many games that by saying never John u ultimately are gonna cost someone some money. Yes u r gonna save a lot more people money. However I am a line hunter but as you know I have that situation once or twice a year where my gut says do it. And it works for me.

I wish they still offered it. I really dislike this asian over 2 and 2 1/2 crap. moving the line to either 2 or 2 1/2 is so much preferable.
