When buying points from a PK line is the line supposed to go from PK to +1 or to +0.5??

I'm sure some crook books would charge you for two half points to get to +1 and maybe -130.

Very bad to buy points in hoops in general.

I like to play a ML favorite of anywhere from -115 to -125 and buy a half point when my sleeping local has got the dog at +1.5 or +2. Makes for lots of heartbreak but an occasional big payday.

Guys maybe my question wasnt aimed right, what I mean is WHAT IS THE USUAL STANDARD ON US BOOKS WHEN BUYING POINTS ON A PK LINE, is it +0.5 or +1... there seems to be different opinions on this.

I am guessing that they are going to charge you 20 cents to go from a pick to +1 point.

I've never seen anyone go from Pick Em to +.5 in basketball. What would the purpose of taking +.5 from pick?

Sorry dude. Just sent you my answer. Go right to one. A half point is worthless in a game that cannot end in a tie.

And granted the rare FB game can end in a tie, but doesn't happen enough to make a difference.

Thank you very much sir I appreciate it, yes I figured last season was crazy with 2 or 3 games ending in a tie...so that's actually why I was wondering and leaning to the wrong answer

SELL points.

And have the balls to sell puts on the way down, if you are into options.
