    Couple problems here. I dont bet 4 point tsrs and we werent even talking about 4 point teasers. We were talking about buying half-points.

    But yes so far I see what you are saying and it appears solid.
    That doesn't matter, the same logic applies no matter how many points/half points you want to buy/sell.

    I am going to be busy for the rest of the day (trading bot has gone haywire and left me with a mess to clean up) but will continue tomorrow.

      Of course it matters, and of course the same logic applies.

      The problem is the same numbers dont apply. We are talking numbers here, not stating opinions based on what we think to be logical or not.

        Obviously he's talking about buying the .5 point. We all know that .5 is good if you don't have to pay for it.

        I think the lower the spread the more important the .5 is. I will occasionally buy .5 in a game where I'm taking the dog & the line is 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 or 4.5 I want to take it to the whole #. I won't buy .5 if the spread is already on the whole # though. I'll just settle for the push if it lands on the #.

            I just joined BetIslands, and the half point has already come in handy. Took Washington -7 last night, got the free half point which took it to Washington -6.5. Washington won by 7. Yes, it does matter.

                Why not just let it be? Let people think what they want.

                  Well, lets see. Just had two finals come in on games I bet. Had Memphis +8 they lose by 8. Had S. Miss -4.5 they win by 4. I sure do wish I had .5 in those games??
