        the Lakers game was under 209.5

        18 seconds left, shot clock turned off.....lakers down double digits

        Lin steals the ball and makes a layup to destroy the under

            How's this? I got an even better number....210.5 on that game.

            F Lin, lol...that probably doesnt happen 1 time in a hundred....the clock runs out there every other time.

              yes D2D, teams do not even play defense in that situation
              and even when they do , its just going through the motions.
              You are spot on about the probabilities, how in the hell.

                        Having NO -10.5 and -5.5 2H is even more disgusting.
                        The shitty lakers prensure with like 1:55 left and score 9 straight pts...
                        ridiculous.

                            hard not to think that way honestly. Both teams puttin up points all game then all of a sudden they stop in the 4th and the under wins by half a point when if was on pace to go over smh

                              You should always by the hook for that reason.

                              At least you would have pushed.

                                "Always buy the hook" is a load of crap.
                                If you cap the game at over, why buy .5 down to 197. That's a waste of juice.

                                  Because these situations happen more often than not?

                                  Because you would have pushed rather than lose your entire bet?

                                                Why buy the hook and not buy the half point from 197 to 196.5 too then? The difference between pushing and winning is pretty much the same as between losing and pushing at those types of odds. Pretty soon you're buying points to no end. Yeah you want to feel you at least "survived" by not losing, I get it, but financially push/win and loss/push are pretty close when the odds are near even.

                                                And lol at crying fix here. So if burke's 3 at the buzzer goes in the mob loses all their money? Really think fixers would take that kind of risk? Fixed games are generally nowhere near the line I'd say.

                                                  The hook is always a ripoff. It is like buying insurance in blackjack when the dealer is showing an ace. It is a statistical loser long term....GUARANTEED.

                                                  I am am not sure how people do not see this....especially in basketball.

                                                    a bunch of fat men posting bad advice

                                                    although I was wrong, you shouldn't always buy the hook

                                                    but in situations like +6.5 or +2.5 I will

                                                    I personally do not like over/unders

                                                    not a degenerate like all you fat men

                                                        Spedizzo....it is just math man, nobody going after you. What is all this BS about fat men?

                                                        In certain games, and in football (and possibly MLB over unders) there may be a possibility of buying the hook and having it be the right choice.....but this is very rare, and in fact almost statistically insignificant.

                                                            Why do you think almost all books let you buy the hook

                                                            but hardly any let you sell the hook

                                                              It's a desperate tactic to try to regain the upper hand in a conversation by insulting the other person and trying to diminish them.

                                                              You see a lot of that kind of stuff on this board.

                                                              Can't vouch for anyone else who bashed the whole buy the hook thing but I for one am not in the slightest way overweight. In fact I probably need to put on a few pounds.
