My bookie will laugh in my face if I asked that!
His totals & spreads are so jacked anyway, that buy the time I bought a line down, it would be to the normal spread or total online

Any local that I know use an online third-party book.
All have the ability to buy points.
It's just like anything from 5dimes.

Better options out there for sure.

Most GOOD locals will let you by points just like anywhere.

I know one that charges -25 instead of -10 when buying onto or off of 3, though. Lots of places do that, though.

I know some places in NV that won't let you buy to 3 if the the line is +2.5 or -3.5, which suuuucks.

Does your local use a PPH provider? If so, its fairly simple for him to offer the ability to buy points. I'd suggest you find someone who offers you more flexibility.

I suggest never buy n pionts or play n teasers. If a locol jacks lines play that to ur favor but if u really want to crush it during football season sell the points and become the house
