buying point can increase your chances of winning and the point of betting is to win.

would you rather have a 50% chance or a 70% chance? who cares if you win less if you wn instead of lose.
ERROR! the point is NOT to win, the point is to profit. Major difference... for instance, I won only 8/18 (44%) bets last night, but still made 1 units profit..

if you want 70% instead of 50% you pay for that with your odds.. odds and chance is critical to come up with a value and value is the only thing that will keep you profiting.. lets say that the odds is +150 for your team and you would like an extra point, you might endt up with +130... point is, your chance of winning will go up but the win will go down...
