    US books that let you buy 3 points on NBA?

    Hey all,

    I need a US-friendly book that lets you buy 3 points on the NBA at -170. Square lines are a bonus . . . any recommendations? I heard Bet Jamaica lets you do this, as well as rebatewager and 5 dimes, but if anyone could confirm that'd be great. I'm looking to post a pretty decent amount. I've also heard that bet jamaica disallows you from buying points if you're a consistent winner doing just that, so any stories w/r/t that would be helpful

    Get an account at matchbook and when u want to buy 3 points ask livechat to put up the line u want and they will probably do it.

    BetUSA and Brobury allow 3pt buys. Combine it with 105 Fridays and your cost is only -165. Great for buying in the 5-10 range for NBA lines.

    sportsbook.com. Buying points in the NBA is brain dead. It's not as if you're buying key numbers so why bother? I'm of the belief buying points in any event is idiotic. Unless that number you bought actually comes into play you either win more or lose less. I would think over the long haul that's only a losing proposition.

    Brobury is a Jazette book but they claim to be under their own management and they are rated higher than sportsbook.com and sportsbetting.com
