Betting Rules

1. You can only use the Buy Points option with the Point Spread line or Total lines, it is not available for the Money Line.
2. Buying points on or off the Key Points usually costs a higher price per half point.
3. The numbers 3 and 7 are usually the Key Points in football.
4. There are no official Key Points in basketball or other events but there are times where a Key Point may be set by the sportsbook operator.
5. Costs for point purchases may vary.

Example:

• Miami is favoured by 4.5 points at a price of -110 to beat Buffalo. You buy 2.5 points, bringing the line down to 2 points in favour of Miami. There is a price adjustment of 70 for a price of -180 and a new Point Spread of 2. (The Key Point in this example is 3.0.)
  
  Note:
  
• This price assumes that half point purchases adjust the Money Line by 10 and buying points on or off the Key Point adjusts the Money Line by 20. Point purchase prices may vary.
