Maybe we can all toss out our opinions on this one. Since the other post was addressed specifically to Nolan, we'll use this one. Personally, I only would buy a 1/2 point if it was a "defensive move" to the number 3. In other words, if I bet the favorite who was -3.5, I MIGHT buy it down to 3; or if I liked the 2.5 pt dog I might buy it up to 3. But that is the only instance; I never buy around a "7" or "10". The odds of those numbers coming in aren't good enough. About 15% of all NFL games end w/a differential of 3 (the # is slightly smaller in College). I'd be interested to hear other opinions.
Buying half pts

Just from my experience, I always buy half points in football when the line is @3 in all directions (ex. -3 to -2', -3' to -3, +3 to +3', or +2' to +3, etc.) you get the idea.
I monitored this theory for a long time and noted that it is very beneficial. However, you must do it every time not just when you feel like it.
It's follows my theory that you also bet the same amounts every time (for me 1 or 2 units)
Forget all this 50 unit play crap, or the "lock play load up on it".
If you really want to win money you must follow certain guidelines and in my opinion buying half points is one of them.
