Savers are kind of like life, car, and health insurance.
We know the economics of insurance are bad for the group that buys it. The profits from selling it is what the group loses. But as an individual you may want to avoid the risk of a catastrophic event. So buying some insurance often makes sense.
Savers are a kind of bankroll management insurance strategy. Over the very long haul it's going to cost you money (unless of course the saver you buying is an overlay you initially missed). However, if you are playing an extremely low probability wager that could threaten your bankroll if you don't hit with some frequency, taking out an insurance policy may be worth the cost.
Over my lifetime, I am sure saver wagers cost me money. So I don't do that anymore.
