    Best sportsbook for buying points

    Hi Guys,

    what recommendations for sports books do you have that allows you to buy points on NBA? Ive seen Betus but they dont come recommended, and 5Dimes, but the odds arent that different.

    Any ideas?

    Rich

    buying points is like playing the inside at the craps table. just a bad bet.
    ex. team is -3 you go to buy points down to 0 -1.75 while the money line is only -1.60
    usually the first point at all sites is 20% so you would have to hit 2/5 changes to make it pay.
    just not profitable. to your question NONE>

    Here's the better part: the buying points is part of a chase system...

    Go with betphoenix.com. They don't always offer it, and it more of an alternate line rather then buying points. They sometimes have 3 points -105 and -105 and 3.5 as alternate line for +110 -120. So the amount of juice reminds the same.

    I disagree. Buying 7.5 down to 7 or 3.5 down to 3 is a huge difference in football. I do it all the time.

    I buy points also and I have found that Bet Phoenix and Bet Jamaica do very well for me.

    Thanks tblues for the info. I hate to come on here and disagree with most of you, but,,,,, there's a group of us, and a large group I might add that bet on a lot of different sports. Some buy points and some do not. Out of about 30 NBA games and a good example last night in the Detroit game, I'm 8 games ahead of the others by buying points. Last night Detroit was a 5.5 point underdog. Buying 3 points won the game while all the others posted an L in their ledger. With the right situation and there are many, I say buy the points. If you are in this game to make money, do what you need to do. Hell, just call me sucker.
