Our Sportsbook offers the option to buy points that will move the spread or total points value for your benefit, improving your odds of winning in exchange for a reduced payout.
How does buying points work?
You can buy points in amounts of half points each for the spread or game totals (0.5pt, 1pt, 1.5pt, 2.0pts, etc.) in Football and Basketball for Straight Bets and Parlays.
You can build several independent straight bets on your Bet Slip and buy points on each. Buying points on Parlays is available for Football and Basketball on spreads and totals, with no odds restrictions. If you want to combine bets and move all lines by the same amount of points, you can also build a Teaser instead.
