    Is there a sportsbook out there that will let you "sell" points to get to plus money.  I know 5dimes and some others let you do it with a few games or let you buy points to increase the juice, but I want to move the line the other way to get plus money in order to scalp or middle with the base knowledge of predicting line movements.  For example, say I knew a team favored by 5 was going to move to 7.  I would move the line to -6 when it is at 5 to get plus money and then wait until it moves to 7 then bet the other side and move it to +6 to get plus money so I would have bet both teams -6, +6 with plus money no matter the outcome.

    Wow, incredibly interesting theory.
    Okay, bet365 offers this.  They call it, "additional point spreads".
    Problem...you need to move it too many points to make it profitable.

    Example;
    Washington -9.0 @ boston
    if you play wash +8 is +100
    was +7 is +110
    wash +6 is +130

    So, unless you know a spread is going to move at least 2 points, and the gambling site sets fair lines (they seem to shave +money on some games, on some spreads), then this is not doable.
    Also, it seems that, at least for nba, a line will open, and you fully expect it to move, then they just sit on it, letting the public bet one way, not moving it, because they think they are on the right side.

    I would not do this.

    However, I do play something like during "in play selections".
    Example, yesterday, mil @ clips
    I took mil moneyline at +185 when they were down 10 in the first quarter, then, when they were ahead by 4 later in the game, I took clips +100.  So, no matter what I broke even.   This tends to work fairly well on games that stay close, especially if you can get the favorite at +money early. 

    Actually, I will start a thread discussing this system as well, see if anyone else is on it.

    bet365 has almost all nba games, very rare that it is missing one for live play.
    I just re started with pinnacle as well, and they have live lines

    I got something in the mail a couple of weeks ago from some site and it said they are the only book that lets you sell points. If I remember right it was either betus or bet365, but I can't remember for sure and I threw it away the day I got it. But it seems like I seen someone else on here saying they sold points to get + money on some other site.
