Bettors are always trying to gain any edge they can get when betting on sports. In addition to proper research and shopping for the best prices, players can adjust betting lines by buying points. Most bookmakers offer alternative odds, on a variety of competitions, and players can buy points to move betting odds up or down. Bettors can buy several points on sports like football and basketball, or a limited amount of runs/goals on baseball, hockey and soccer matches.
