Betting halftimes vs the game spread...Has anyone tried to create a system with this?

Players play halftimes for a number of reasons while books have a couple of options also....very trickey these halftime lines...what looks good sometimes isn't...JMHO from thebook's side....

That theory does not make sense. Why would they be giving you plus juice? And besides, there were a WHOLE lot more people that were on Dallas than Philly in that game...

They would be basically be middling themselves with great juice if Dallas was really the side.

Pinny does not GIVE you plus juice. The juice changes when the wagers come in. Read Simon Noble's article (from last year, I think) to get a better idea. Until then, I am not going to debate this.

have you noticed that the sides tend to do better than the totals?

Cincy....the lines open up lobsided. Not every one, but the ones that we are discussing in this thread. The ones that Pinny is wanting you to play. Just sit there and hit refresh until the opening line pops up and you will see. They do not all open at -110.

Guys i have posted a 2nd half lines thread, hopefully it can be useful to you folks regarding system and stuff.

I think betting the halves is usually the best way to bet. Never came up with a system though, just use trends for certain teams. Some teams kick butt in the 1st half and some in the 2nd, etc. Each team has trends to consider, and that is a start. After that you go with the flow of the game. I like to put a little emphasis on going against the public's original game bets if the numbers are similar.

Play is Georgia +.5 and under 17.5. Bigger play on the under.

Yesterday, I thought of this. I took OVer 10.5 second half team total over on both teams (USC and Michigan) and both were+. In other words contradictory to this system. I do agree that most of the time it is the right side to bet but not always. I would be careful about playing blindly anything.
