When you buy points you tell anyone reading your thread you're not confident in your selection.
silly, facile covers argument. a hypothetical line like -7.5 -110 in effect makes u go to 10 since 8 and 9 are remote #s to land on (by virtue of how points are scored). but if u have to go to 10 you want to be paid for it (with plus juice). since u won't get plus $ at 7.5, the next best thing is not getting hooked because, despite the confidence, the ball is pointy and garbage happens, especially at the end of a game. -7 -120 on a bomb is smart money management. anyway, there's zero juice paid on a winning bet and when you load up ur not going into it to lose it. obv, only buy off the prime key #s like 3,7,14, etc. how many times do you think Billy Walters has been hooked on a huge play? maybe once early on and then never again. gl |

I think InVegas makes a point but doesn't fully carry it out.
Bentely's thread heading says 5* play. If it is a 5* play, the line should be so far off that you do not need to buy anything and especially not buying a full point like getting from 2.5 to 3.5 at -140 does.
I can see buying points when you are down in your 1/2 * games and I can sort of see having a 2-3 star game and buying .5 but not buying a full point and rating it a 5* game. |

SteelHop I understand what your saying. When I post my plays, in theory you shouldn't have to do anything to anyone's play when it has a high rating. But we don't play with theories, we play with money. So any extra I can get is personally worth it to me. And I don't post one thing and play another. So when I do that, it's so when I come back later and say I won, you'll know what I was playing. But GL no matter who you take!

Troy just killed us in the 2nd half with penalties. Well we'll have to make them pay on Saturday. 
Hopefully we can pull out the teaser and at least split on the day.  |

We all have different strategies and that's one of mine. It's worked well for me so I keep doing it. 
But good luck in whatever it is that you do.  |
