Perhaps because many individuals base their decisions on gut feelings, conventional wisdom, and astrological predictions, as opposed to on the underlying mathematics.

You need to win a slightly higher percentage of games to break even if you buy the half point - but why bet games where you think the half point is going to be necessary?

You might as well why you would ever place a bet on a game that's going to lose?
