Who buys the hook? I personally never do. My thoughts... why buy the hook on a play you like? I'll admit, I hate any play that comes with a hook but if I hate the hook that much I might as well not even play it my thoughts anyways. You guys go for it?

#3All the time.
If I like my spot and feel confident then I️ try to get the best number possible.
I trust myself more than any system or numbers scheme.
Basically trust in my playsComment -

#7Never buy it. I'm not betting if I don't like the number, and I'm not paying to get the number I want. There's always a better opportunity another day.
Buying points/half points is for touts to pad their records and books to fill their coffers.Comment -

#10Just lost a 3 teamer Celtics -6.5 (bought 0.5), raptors +6, San Antonio -6.5 (lost by hook). But to answer the question only time I generally buy a hook would be in a parlay, and wish I did on San Antonio. penetrate Dennis smith jrComment -

#11Why buy it? Do people bet games thinking they'll cover by a half point? I can maybe see a parlay, but straight bets no way.Comment -

#14Kinda like the craps table
You got Lakers that plays the “don’t pass”
You got Shute who plays all the numbers and the pass line.
House wins

#18I tell you what though everyone gets that weird feeling looking at a hook. Why wouldn't books add a hook to every line? With the option to buy seems win win in my eyesComment -

#24I buy the hook if its off the key numbers, sometimes I buy it just based on feel. Cant remember if I bought a half point or whole point on this Kansas line.

#30Piles if that’s the case then the ML the play.
It’s a reward vs risk issue
That’s why there are spreads and money lines.
You as the gambler needs to figure that out.
If you don’t like it then take the pointsComment -
