for ull games, this does not work in the pros

most of this thread has them talking about half-time lines

l2b, You can play the 35 or more totals for the first half but you need well into double digit spreads to do it. I usually pass any 35 or more total like Houston last night (although it was a winner).

power, last year first half betting was working fine for the pros with the 7 pt. spreads or more. Winning percentage was virtually the same for pros and college last year.

mtg, after looking at 4 years of data, I've come to the conclusion that you are better off NOT handicapping the games. Once your opinion is thrown into the mix you're fighting the percentages. Playing all the qualifying games, you spread your risk around and you are going to hit 65%+ of your plays. In football, an interception here a fumble there and your handicapping goes right out the window. Let the percentages work for you. It's just math. Math is a constant, an oblong football is not.

Hey all,

Checked this system out for the first two weeks of 2009 and the numbers were in the negative. Looked at 1H and the whole game, both negative. Only looking at 40% or greater.

Last week was in the plus, but this week seems to be in the red w/ a few games pending. Curious, has anyone backtested an overall W/L ratio for previous years for 1H and the overall game?

Let me know please, thanks.

Ignore that last post. Miscalculated the ratio of a parlay at 100:160, instead of 100:260. My bad, apologies.

I have used this method with online books, they won't take anything over .33, but it has been successful down to the .25 level.

Mostly NCAA, but NFL has been coming along nicely recently.
