I don't see any problem...actually betjam's makes no sense

+.5 is useless...the same as pk

SBR has it right...betjam is trying to rip people off for some strange reason...why would you buy from -.5 to pk or from pk to +.5??? It's all the same.

im not questioning the logic behind the half points, im questioning why they have buying 3 points as +1 when its actually a pk. there is a big difference in a pk and +1. maybe my thinking is off track but to get to +1 you have to buy 4 points, no?

It is the same thing at DSI.

This is GOOD thing, so why complain? There is no such thing as +/-0.5 so those numbers are bypassed for buying purposes.

again, not questioning the logic behind the half points. im just wondering if my brain is playing tricks on me to think that a pk and +1 are the same when they are not. im just asking isn't going from -3 to +1 buying 4 points and not 3?

lets forget the .5 for a second and just focus on the buying full points:

-3 is the line and here are the buying points options:

buy 1 point to -2....seems correct
buy 2 points to -1.....seems correct
buy 3 points to 0 or a pk.....seems correct and is not the same as the next option
buy 4 points to +1....seems correct and is a big difference between a pk.

if you buy said -3 team down to a pk and they win the game you win your bet. if you buy said -3 team to +1 and they lose by 1 you at least get a push and don't lose.

again not wanting to start a intrawebs eflaming pissing thread here, im just trying to understand it better

i'm more surprised at how expensive it is to buy points at a win points only point book.

i think that's because it comes straight from one of the offshore books though.

sure there is

ties can happen in the nfl so technically -.5 and +.5 are different........than a pk

very unlikely tho ofc

[Slim]

It costs 40 cents to buy on or off the 3 for nfl bets in the sbr book. 25 cents is bad enough.

Yes, that is an expensive buy. Is that what DSI charges ?

Good point, I had not considered that.
Still, most books do it like SBR. BetJM is in the minority.

[Dad]

Give the kid some points for finding this, SBR.

I have never seen a pk or -0.5/+0.5 for football. It's either -1 or +1 and the juice adjusts the line accordingly.

what do you mean you've never seen a pk for football? the denver/sf game this weekend is sitting at a pk right now

edit: so is the miami/cinn and pitt/no game

[RonPaul2008]

Still, most books don't offer buying to pk, because it's the same as betting moneyline.
+.5/-.5 is different....but still most books don't offer that.
