In sports betting a hook is a term used to describe half of a point when discussing a point spread or total. The term is most commonly used for high scoring sports such as basketball and American football. A bet that lost by the hook is one that lost by exactly half a point. An example of this would be betting that a basketball game would go over the total of 144.5 and the game ends 78-66 for a combined 144 points.
