The half point is referred to as a hook... The spread last night was patriots -7.5 and they won by 7 with seconds left... If you bought the hook, the spread became -7 and it would have been a push

Can we at least agree that we would both have a lot more money if we didn't drink or gamble?

And it closed at 7.5

If it's -110 at -7.5 what do you pay for -7?

Im giessing, long run, if you always bought the hook, you would lose money, as it comes into play far less often then the roughly one in ten times that is implied.
