i.e

1 to 1.5 2 to 2.5 etc... in terms of % - and is it a consistent % or does it break as the point spread gets larger?

Thanks for any help.

For Instance at true odds, does the below look likely?

The main handicap here being PK.

3 1.7000 2.5 1.7500 2 1.8000 1.5 1.8500 1 1.9000 0.5 1.9500 0 2.0000 -0.5 2.0500 -1 2.1000 -1.5 2.1500 -2 2.2000 -2.5 2.2500 -3 2.3000

Buying any half or full points in any sport is "worth" between two to five percent LESS than whatver you pay for those points

not always. I'd buy around an NFL 7 for ten cents or a 3 for 20 cents.

Thanks for the answers guys.

I was roughly aware of the difference a half point makes, however I am struggling to come up with a formula in excel that represents this.

For example, a game is PK and I want to be able to price -1,-1.5,-2 +1, +1.5 +2 derived from the core point spread PK (at true odds) eg. PK +100.

Look at Pinnacle. Subtract half a penny or penny or so from what they charge and you have a close estimate.
