I really don't know the correct "strategy" but I almost always buy the hook...and I did tonight as well. I took ML and also took the line but bought the 1/2 point.
There is so much you can cap buy my god, there is so much that is just pure luck/random. The guy gets a 4-point play. They tie it on a "3" and then the guy shoots a 30-foot "3" to win it. Might as well bet on a pick-up game.
I'm glad I took ML for half and bought the 1/2 for the other half. Game should have gone to OT but he hit a desperation long one for the win. I tip my hat...and I'm glad he got it...but seriously?? You've got the last possession...tie game...and that's the shot you take?
Let's see...tie game...last shot...I'm gonna take a 30-footer to win it b/c I can't get any closer to basket. I'm glad he hit it but just moronic and if he missed it....don't blame him b/c that would be shaming him. I'm sick of these millenials but at least I won money. Garbage finish for so many reasons but Box And One came though!! lol I'll take it!!
