Guys just a reminder if you have a 3.5 point spread you ALWAYS buy the hook.... Losing by .5 is murder.

Wasn't able to check here by game time busy working. Would have been a push unless I had 3 which I may or may not have dropped to 2.5..... Damn damn damm


The issue with that is it cost too much to buy off of 3 to go higher or lower.
For instance at the bookie I use, lets say the line is -3.5 to buy down to -3 cost -135. To buy down an additional 0.5 off 3 to 2.5 goes to -160. Same rules apply to 7.5 down to 7 ....basically it cost too much to buy off the key numbers of 7 and 3 .

i wont risk that much Vig on any play.

I dont mnd mind buying off a hook at - 10 cents but won't pay anymore .

some might say you don't pay vig on winners. The problem is not every play is a winner , so you will pay a lot more over time .

eh depends. at -140 (betdsi) it wasn't an attractive option. if it's -120 i'll bite. at -140 either u gamble on the -3.5 or don't play at all. you lose too much value imo

you doing the right thing and those that use that ridiculous logic don't have a clue about winning long term. What you pay in extra juice will cost them more than the handful of games buying the points saves them. Bottom line it makes much more sense to pass on games than getting taxed to influence the spread IMO..

Certainly if you make a habit out of it. To me it depends on the game. Cap the game and 9if you think it'll be a close game decided by less than 3 points I will always buy the hook. I have no problem paying for a half point when it can be the difference between a win, push or worst case a loss. Especially if it is a big bet.
