    home team favoured 3 or 7 total on a 7 or 4 at or under 44 is a good parameter.

    Pick your spots within that based on matchups and weather you will be OK

    don't bracket the play pal. know the game and pick your spots accordingly. Lot of fukkin smart guys play this angle either way.

    Good angle to know period

    never on dogs in baskets. it would have made a difference in less than 5% of my bets so not worth the extra juice.

    My pal smoke... If you're already thinking about buying a hook on a play.... stay away from the game. That's what I do.

    you had mentioned that you only consider the angle on favorites, that is bracketing the play. Hooks can be your friend in the right spots.

    i rarely buy the hook, usually I give up points to eliminate juice, I hate juice, it is my sworn and mortal enemy

    feels good to still be up after splitting games

    Very rarely, and only on to whole numbers, never halves.
