how much is half a point worth in college football?

+/- .5 especially around 3, 7, 10, and 14.

I've been meaning to analyze that. I recently did just that for buying a half point off the total in baseball.

Okay, I spent all day on this, not on college football, but the NFL. Please have a look at my fair prices for buying a half point in the NFL. I'd be interested in your comments. I may work on college next.

If they are based on the OVERALL frequency of a given spread number or a given posted total, then they wouldn't have that much meaning.

Of course I thought of that. Give me a little credit. It is rather involved to explain the details.

nice work. its good to know now how huge the 3 is when looking at lines changing. im googling some stuff and it seems commonplace that most places wont let you buy onto the 3 but some places will let you buy onto the 7 so thats good to know. or if there are any online sites that charge less for buying points, maybe you can buy onto the 10. as for college football, my guess is a half point wont be worth nearly as much in college as it is in the NFL. maybe 3 points will be worth 15 and 7 pts will be worth 8.

OK, OK, but why get so peeved that you delete my post? I acknowledge your expertise (bowing low enough that forehead touches floor).

Neither the numbers themselves nor the attendant explanation gave any indication that this nuance had been taken into account.
