I believe that 1 point difference in NBA 1st quarters is a profitable middle

Zapster,

I agree the number is closer to 85 % and the range is smaller ( on most games ), just wanted to use a worse case scenario. It seems that a lot of books limit these to $500 ( bet 19, gameday have both told me $500 limits no exceptions ), many books also charge -115 both ways. That may be good news, maybe they do this because they realize we are right. Still seeing New York under 46 and Over 45 in a few places. Both at -110.

One of the keys to making money from middles is watching your sport's results.

My big bets on middles go down when teams are competitive and the lines are coming close to the results a lot of the time.

Towards the end of the season when some teams have little to play for middling becomes less profitable if you just blast everything. I like to focus at these times on matches where both sides can still make the play-offs.

I am starting to think if you can find a 1 point difference in the NBA first quarter bets you will have a long term winner.
Am I the only one here that creates proper databases in order to know how big the edge is exactly?

AS LONG AS YOU GOT TWO NUMBERS THAT WILL WIN YOU MONEY, NOT IF IT IS AT 45.5, 46.5 EVEN THOUGH YOU WILL COLLECT BOTH BETS IF YOU MIDDLE IT YOU ARE MUCH BETTER OFF AT 45 AND 46.

About 5 years ago my partner and I made some money on nba first quarters. Your right about the range of 35 to 55, but I remember that when we did our work the low was 29 and the high 67 for first quarter totals. We foud the most profit around 51 points. Remember that this was 5 years ago and rule changes effect these things. We would play a point middle between 49 and 53. As you moved farther out we needed a point and a half. The first quarter numbers were much softer then. Good luck.

It must be cause the originators like Walters, Mike, Magic, Baxter et al LOL pretty hard at the idea of betting into strong numbers because can't Id which one is the weak one. Like you and danny.

After you finish figuring out your delusions abt Asia setting NBa lines, work on one where no data can tell you what the edge is exactly, it can tell you what happened before and you can predict till you're blue in the face based on historical results,

THE ONE THING YOU AIN'T GETTING NO MATTER WHAT IS THE EXACT EDGE. thx for the laugh.

Middling the WNBA 1st half totals two years ago and beyond was extraordinary. I know intertops and acessportsbook had differences of 2 to 5.5 points on a nightly basis. Now that is profit!
 

There's always next year, like in 75, 90-93, 99 &

I've given up on quarters. When teams start getting 7,8 or 9 points in any given quarter it's just not worth it anymore.
