Default moving the line

Does anyone know if someone other than Pinnacle allows a player to move the line up or down and pay or gain juice in doing so?Pinnacle lets you move the line by 1/2 , 1 or 1 1/2 points in either direction .Seen some that lets you pay more for a better number but havent seen anyone that lets you gain juice with a lesser number. Thanks

Many books let you buy points at 10 cents per half point. For the most part, this is not a good buy.

When you sell half-points at pinnacle, you are not usually gaining equity - the decreased chance of winning offsets the new price. I'm not aware of any other books that have point selling.

I havent encountered one yet... I would definitely be interested in one that did. Someone should start a book with that business model!

Not point-selling por se, but 5 Dimes does offer alternate lines on some sports (i.e., NFL) up to one point above and below regular line. (Even more for big games)
