Because a bookie establishes the line, a bettor has less control over whether a bet pushes. But that doesn’t mean a bettor is out of options. Say you absolutely don't want to push a bet. What can you do? One option is that you can bet on the moneyline rather than a point spread. Let’s say you wanted to wager on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 54. But when you logged in to your account at MyBookie, you saw the Chiefs were favored by 1 point. However, MyBookie also offered the Chiefs on the moneyline at -125 odds, so that would be a very good alternative. Besides betting on the moneyline, another option for a bettor is that you can choose to buy a half-point. Generally speaking, most books have standard -110 odds. But say you’re playing at GTBets Sportsbook, and your over/under line for Super Bowl 54 is 53 points. If you liked the under, you could buy a half-point, and move the line from 53 to 53.5 points. Instead of laying -110 odds, you would now be laying -120 odds. But your bet would be under 53.5 rather than under 53.
