    HT UCF -8.5 for $100. Don't want to give away a nice win with UAB

    Good point. Are you positive you are allowed to buy points on this promo and still cancel?

    even if it counts that way, I think buying from 16.5 to 17.5 and paying 20 cents is -ev.

    Yes, checked with Heritage last year on this. Also my UAB bet was displayed as a voidable bet today, so no worries.

    Cool. I'll keep that in mind. I assume then you could buy 2 points if you want to.

    Yes, barely. The 1/2 point calculator shows 9.8 cents off the college 17--- or 19.6 cents for the full point. Close to a wash. However, the value of being able to cancel the bet at HT made the buy worthwhile IMO. Just a personal preference.
