Well no sh*t MS lol I specifically wrote right after that I'd try to make amends on Sunday or did you not see that? It's one small play of hundreds, I'm not worried.

Craig r and I had a nice discussion going (hardly heated) about buying points so I wanted to make the example that giving points to reduce price and payment in the event of a loss is sometimes a smart play.

But, this is being very results oriented. Which is what I think Shakes was trying to say. Yes, you would have been out another $6 THIS TIME. But, hindsight is 20/20. It is no different in poker; if the move is +ev, you can't worry about the result. I would not have made a post if NE would have won by exactly 7 telling you "this is why you buy the half point". Because, I know in this instance that it just happened to end that way.
