How many people buy the hook?

[AchillesTG]

Personally, I rarely buy the hook. Every once in a while I will buy it in the NFL from 2.5 to 3.

Does the following seem correct?
It appears break even is 52.38% at -110 vig. If you buy the hook at a cost of -125, you increase a lost bet by 12%. So, your break even on those games is 54.38%.

I checked my plays and won a little over 50% when the hook was in play. So, why risk an additional 12%?

Of course our "Main Man" Lang says to always buy the hook!

if you buy on to 3, 7, 10, etc, then you should also buy OFF 3, 7, 10, because if you are buying to a push, you should buy off a push

speaking of NFL and CFB but mainly NFL

I only buy it on free plays because it's like buying 1 point.

Nothing worse than losing by a half point.

Never buy in NFL...why pay 25 cents for a push? I'd rather wait for it to move up or down.
In NBA I sometimes buy because it's only 10 cents but I have a rule if think I need to buy and that is buy the favorite down to even number (from 6.5 to 6 or 3.5 to 3) and the dog other way around.

Avatar Pun Intended: Bear, that seems a little negative or "your glass is half empty".
It sure does make you feel good when you win by the hook, almost like you beat the Books at their own game.
