Dante:
Very often you are better off buying the points and bringing the team down to -0.5 then playing the moneyline. I have often found as much as a 15 cent difference when buying points. The reason for the difference is because there may be action on the ML driving it up while the straight line stays the same. There is great value in buying points at times just as there is often times value in playing the ML in lieu of the spread. Hope this helps you.

here's another tip: if you are playimg a two-team money line parlay, first go check out what it'd pay as a two team teaser. I found value all football season long by combining teams that were 6-8 point faves into a 6-7 point two-team teasers instead of betting them as two-team ML parlays

Dante: I don't know how you could get a 3 point buy at Olympic for -160. Pick any game, buy 3 points, and it will give you -180. It used to be -170 but they seem to have raised it.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Wanderer...not sure if it was a mistake but I bet that line (lost anyway) I bought it to -.5 and paid -160...I will show you the ticket
This is the losing ticket
1. Basketball - Creighton - spread -½ (-160)
