    Tech Scores with 1:13 left before half.  Score is 41 - 27 and the live total was 68.5 when I placed my bet with about 6 minutes left before half.

    All Tech has to do is kick the extra point, like they should I win. No the coach goes for two, an of course doesn't get it. But it's just a coincidence that he decided then at that time he should go for two. I lost by a half point. YOU KNOW EVERYONE WAS BETTING THAT LIVE GAME TOTAL, AND THEN THAT COACH PULLS THAT SHIT. HE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

    That is a tough beat, but constructive criticism. Don't bet a live total for a half that is higher than the original full game total. That is absolutely a long term losing bet. 

    If you missed out on the original total its not worth it to chase it. We've all done it, trust me, and its a terrible play. 

    When you are live betting you want to look for opportunities where the game has gone opposite of expected. So if you have a pregame total at 64.5 and midway through the 2nd Q its 7-3 and the live total is 48.5, now you bet the over. 

    If the game total is 45.5 and its 20-17 at the half with a live total at 64.5 you bet the under. 

    Obviously watching the game and the flow is key, but the examples are just that you generally want to be going the opposite direction and fading overreactions on the live line, not chasing what's already happened. Its more likely things go back to the mean than continuing in the same direction at an already increased pace

     Sometimes chasing works. Like the Seahawks game, any live play UNDER would have cashed since both teams scored 0 in 4th Q

     Probably because the algos considered WVU were +15.5 before kickoff, even at +10.5 you are losing some value but it worked out :)

But it's just a coincidence that he decided then at that time he should go for two. I lost by a half point. YOU KNOW EVERYONE WAS BETTING THAT LIVE GAME TOTAL, AND THEN THAT COACH PULLS THAT SHIT. HE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED

    You’re probably a really nice guy so don’t take this the wrong way but do you really think a coach is aware of what a live first half total number is ?  I hope you’re not serious & just were upset in the moment, you did start a thread so I suppose you wanted responses 

    there is a 0.0% chance that the tech coach knows a live first half total number, think about that 

     

    if they converted the 2 they go up 15, that is the new analytics game that they play, it can hurt or help depending on which side you’re on & whether or not they convert 

     

    betting is hard but don’t let it get to you in that way, no way that coach knows what a live first half total is & purposely tried to stay under anything, they went over the game total in the first half, they scored over 100 points in the game
