value when buying points conversation

i was just thinking about it and I realized that it gives you a lot more value to buy half a point when you are buying down to a whole number instead of a .5 line. the reason i say this is because the reason to buy down is to potentially save yourself from a number that was .5 off or right on. Lets say your betting 600 to win 500 after buying half a point by buying from a number like -5.5 to -5 your potential savings are 600 if it lands on that 5 when you would have lost otherwise. but if you buy from -6 to -5.5 your potential savings/earning you wouldnt have had are only 500 if the number lands on 6. I've seen vanzack and other guys use a lot of stats and percentages to figure out potential value. does this make sense or did i smoke a little too much green.

ya i usually dont buy points but i was just thinking about it and it makes more sense to buy down to the whole number

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS BUY THE HOOK!!!

There is nothing worse than losing by half a point.....and really to go from -110- to -120 is not that big of a deal....

In football I would buy points all the time to cross the key numbers.....I'll never forget Indy at Cleveland where Indy was -5 and I bought them down to -3......Indy down 6-3 in the 4th when they get an interception and run it back for a TD to win 10-6....that one was sweet....

In basketball there are no key numbers so I usually only buy the hook.....

anybody that buys points in hoops has no respect for money
