I don't know why so many people buy points.....its a big waste of money and in the long run it costs you big...
almost never do it, maybe twice a year.

seems like i've seen solid posters say they do....just don't remember the exact reasoning.....i'm thinking if you do, it's best to do it every time instead of picking and choosing.....

I never do it, If I don't like the number, I'll wait for another one I like

usually I dont have to...fading the public gives me my numbers for free at a square shop

The cost is almost never worth the return. JMHO However I sure do use teasers to get the best of key numbers and I think that is the main secret of betting teasers.

With teasers (if you play around with them), I think it is important to buy the half to get it off the full number (Going from say 10 to 10 1/2)

Pushes lose on a tease, and it is only juice if it loses. If that sucker lands on 10 on it is a loss, it would not be good considering at 10 1/ 2 it would have been + money.

Just my humble opinion.

Never buy or sell points.

Find the book that has the extra half-point you need using a free lines feed.

Depends upon the Book as far as Teasers lose on pushes. I almost always find a Book where ties win. There are quite a few here in Vegas where ties win.

I never do it; not worth the cost, especially in the NFC Championship. Packers will roll big.

Point buyers become dogmeat over time.

Exactly, I've done it once in the last five years, turned out I didn't need it.
The juice you lay on will kill your bankroll, games with lines of 3 or 7 don't usually land on 3 or 7.
Do the math, I did, buying off key numbers is a bad bet, like buying insurance in BJ at the casino.
