Why not shave off a half a point?
Houston is +9 but -129
Why do they do this?

Since nobody seems to have given you the correct answer I will give it a shot...
They are doing it to avoid giving people the opportunity to cross the 7 & 3 on 6pt (-110) teasers.
Instead of -7.5 (-110) which people can tease down past those two key numbers to less than a FG at standard juice, they post -9 (+119).. thus not allowing anybody to tease through those #'s.
They manipulate the juice to offer essentially the same spread, without giving teaser players a good line.
That's why instead of going from -7 to -7.5, they jump from -7 to -9 (+money). It is essentially the same spread.
Hope that helps. BOL today.

This makes sense. Just went on to a local site
Picked up Baltimore and GB at -1 (2 team teaser) at -120. This made sense I think

Also be aware, they do the same thing for spreds under -3.
They jump from -1 to -3 and manipulate the juice accordingly, to avoid giving teaser players the option to hit the dog UP through the 3 and 7 on a standard 6pt -110 tease.
Same philosophy.

If you learn to read this, it can be a big advantage.
Like when NYJ went to Philly a couple weeks back..
Almost all books had PHI -3 (+100), (+105) etc.
The LV Hilton had PHI -2.5 (-110). All other books refused to move off the 3 and just charged extra juice for the Jets. The Hilton was more than willing to leave the jets in the window and in turn give people NYJ +8.5 in their teasers.
That told me, the books were expecting an Eagles blowout. They ended up stomping all over the Jets that game.

They don't want to leave BOTH games in that teaser window.
That should tell you something. Both winners. If I can't get both at -0.5 I will still take GB at -2.
