        It seems to be a little fukked up as of late.

        Sometimes it won't even allow me to buy a point up until the day of the game.

            buying points on totals has to be a gold mine for them

            if anything they should lower the juice to get more suckers

                      Actually i guess you just cant buy them for certain games- i wanted to buy the evansville game total down to 139 but you cant.

                      also not working for the VCU game

                      obviously depends on how good you are at playing totals and what sort of numbers youre able to find.

                      6.5 points at -240 is a great deal on some games.

                      ill take 135 over 141.5 anyday. find 2 really soft totaled games, buy 6 or 7 points and parlay them together for +100

                        Buying points on a college basketball totals is about as bad as it gets. Far more totals will end up outside this window than on sides. There are some common sense things you should not do:

                        1] Tease across 0
                        2] Tease totals
                        3] Buy points on totals

                        I thought every one knew this

                          Never understood the teaser rules.. why not tease across zero... example giants minus 3 this week if I think they are gonna win by dd and get them at plus 3 rather than falcons at plus 9... why shouldn't I do that?nfl the first week if you teased every game down you wouldn't of lost...

                            down to $5 juice and i would buy the half - they would make money on me in the long run. but would still do it anyways. would just get reeled in.

                                Because you are being charged 2 points to go from -1 to +1 when the move is really one point (essentially).

                                      I've been noticing that. I'd get pissed then check later in the day and the option would be there.

                                              I can't believe people would actually buy points on a cbb total.... look how many totals are off by 10+ points a game..... I'd say more then 3/4ths... such a dumb idea.

                                                  well its definitely way more helpful in football for sure but if you have a number around mid 40s and you can get it to high 30s, that will benefit you many times. needing 70-69 instead of 75-71. its a big deal. seems like thats where the line is in the low 40s.

                                                  (for high scoring teams' overs that you think should go over anyway)

                                                    1] Tease across 0
                                                    2] Tease totals
                                                    3] Buy points on totals

                                                    I thought every one knew this
                                                    Never and always are almost never always correct to use when talking about gambling...

                                                    "Common sense" rules like this might serve a beginner well but, if you want to get past things like believing it ALWAYS bad when a book over juices one side to protect against that one side, you might do well to derive your own work (especially at a place like 5dimes who doesn't ALWAYS blindly juice a half point 10 cents)...
