No offense but I find that hard to believe. There is no way buying the 1/2 point would have you in plus money in football. If you won buying the hook then you would have also won at 2.5. You would have lost more times buying the hook than having it come into play and pushing. Don't count the wins that would have covered at +2.5. Look at your losses when buying compared to your pushes. No way you would be ahead. Impossible. Keep in mind I'm talking football only.
