[laclippers504]

Been on the wrong side of those too many times

Not a good feeling

[Fidel_CashFlow]

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

[SBRMAN23]

had under in HOUSTON game second half penetrating BS for 1k parlay lmao sometimes these things are a joke the way they go

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.

[Fidel_CashFlow]

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.
Id love to punch that stupid fukker in his nose

Lol, I am glad I wasn't watching it.....came home from dinner and read about it on my thread.

Ouch.

Give him a shot for me too.

Mob had Un197.5

[Spedizzo]

always buy the hook

[THam12]

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

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

You should always by the hook for that reason.

At least you would have pushed.

[THam12]

"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?

[NavsPicks]

I also think buying the hookis dumb AF.. Killing value how often do u push on the #..

[DavidNelson88]

Don't buy lines down, it will kill you in long term for sure!

[jjgold]

It happens most games land within a range

The numbers aren't too far off

[Double Bogey]

always buy the hook

Might as well just tip your bookie 15%

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Never bought a point or even a hook in my life; a waste of money.

[Seto]

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.

[Dollars2Donuts]

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.

[Spedizzo]

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]

Might as well just tip your bookie 15%

as opposed to your 100% donation?

fukhead

[Dollars2Donuts]

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.

Ok rook, learn some math and you'll stop losing your lunch money

what a dumb f\*\*k

[RudyRuetigger]

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

but hardly any let you sell the hook

fukkin common sense

[Seto]

What is all this BS about fat men?

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.

[Spedizzo]

[jtoler]

Simple math, this isnt football, silly to buy a hook on a total in basketball.
