Where to buy points for NBA?

Can someone recommend a sportsbook that allows you to buy points for sides and totals? I currently use 5dimes and Bodog, but they don't give the option for every game. Tonight was like the 5th time this week I lost or pushed a wager that I would've bought 1/2-1 point if I was given the option and would've pushed/won the bet. If 5D or Bodog allows buying hooks for each line and I'm just not finding it, feel free to tell me I'm an idiot and kindly direct me to the correct way.

Also since I think you aren't living in the US.....centrebet offers it too, with some restrictions, but the good thing is you can buy down as well as up.

Thanks for the responses.

I do live in the US. I actually did sign up for thegreek a few months ago I think. But for some reason, I wasn't allowed to deposit. The response was that my bank would not allow a purchase from this site. I looked around on their site and it does seem pretty good. Did anyone else have the same problem when making an initial deposit with thegreek?

Hey Don Giovanni, just go to any cash checking store and ask for a prepaid visa card. Load over $50 on to it and use it online that very same day if you do it right. Problem solve. Again, make sure you ask for a prepaid visa card...lol

I seldom buy points, but when I have, 5 Dimes has always allowed it.

They offer mny lines on each game and if they offer just one, try going to the "Straight and RIF" option, select the game and you should be able to buy there. What you can't do there is buy points off the Internet, lower juiced lines

The Greek is ok, but they offer almost only -110 lines..5 Dimes will offer much lower, -105 etc..if you play a lot of games , there is a HUGE savings at 5 Dimes..100 bets each month, at $100 each, save $5 in juice on each loser

This is what I was looking for. I usually use "bet the board" I've never tried "Straight and RIF" before but now I see how it's done. Thanks!

You're welcome

"Bet the board" is just that..bet a lot of games at one time..the other option is basically for one game bets
