    Anyone have an opinion on DK changing alternate spread to half points only on all sports?

    You do realize there is more than one book.

    Or at the very least, it might be time for you to open another account elsewhere so you have more options.

     I believe fanduel does the same. You should immediately stop using any book that tries to force your bet in any direction. Having to choose between .5 point spreads is a major disadvantage imo.

    DK decided they wanted to be the square book. This past ncaaf season they didn't even offer unders on player props. If you wanted to bet qb/rb/wr yards your only options were overs and atl total overs. just gross.peace_5peace

    Ya there are options but they are getting slimmer. Seems like more and more books are changing this way. FD, BET365, BetMGM on college sports. 
    whenever there’s a 3.5 or 7.5 line I’d always buy the half point being key numbers, rather push than lose. 
    Ballys still does it right way and maybe ESPN ALSO but there’s fewer and fewer that give every point and half pt

    we should be able to buy a half point to make line 3 from 3.5 and n stead of having to pay more to go to 2.5

    I want to move on from DK and FD because of this. It's bullshit.  But anywhere else I go is gonna do it, too.  Just a matter of time.

    My book used to let you buy/sell an NFL point for 10 cents

     

    Now to buy the 1st point or to move the line 1 point costs 25 cents

     

    And to sell the first point is only 5 cents instead of the old 10

     

    Absolute joke
