an exercise in totals theory - overs and unders for Wednesday, January 7th, 2015

this system was created because of a conversation about "when is a number just too good to pass up."
i don't believe in systems, they don't work (a topic for another time), so think of this more as
an exercise in totals theory, and less as a totals system.  i know the requirements to make a bet
are going to be difficult to meet, that's kind of the point.

for Wednesday, January 7th, 2015

if the total score from the first half of a game is...
5pm    hou/cle    108
5pm    nop/cha    108
5pm    mil/phi    110
5pm    nyk/was    107
5:30    bos/bkn    110
5:30    mem/atl    107
6pm    uta/chi    110
6:30    det/dal    114
7pm    orl/den    110
7:30    phx/min    114
8pm    okc/sac    109
8:30    ind/gsw    113
8:30    lal/lac    112
...or higher, and the second half line is...
5pm    hou/cle    101
5pm    nop/cha    101
5pm    mil/phi    102.5
5pm    nyk/was    100.5
5:30    bos/bkn    103
5:30    mem/atl    100
6pm    uta/chi    103

7:30    phx/min    106.5
8pm    okc/sac    102.5
8:30    ind/gsw    106.5
8:30    lal/lac    105.5
or higher, bet the UNDER.

if the total score from the first half of a game is...
5pm    hou/cle    84
5pm    nop/cha    82
5pm    mil/phi    83
5pm    nyk/was    83
5:30    bos/bkn    81
5:30    mem/atl    82
6pm    uta/chi    84
6:30    det/dal    81
7pm    orl/den    82
7:30    phx/min    85
8pm    okc/sac    84
8:30    ind/gsw    81
8:30    lal/lac    88
...or lower, and the second half line is...
5pm    hou/cle    95.5
5pm    nop/cha    93.5
5pm    mil/phi    95
5pm    nyk/was    94
5:30    bos/bkn    92.5
5:30    mem/atl    93.5
6pm    uta/chi    96
6:30    det/dal    93
7pm    orl/den    93.5
7:30    phx/min    97
8pm    okc/sac    95.5
8:30    ind/gsw    93
8:30    lal/lac    99.5
or lower, bet the OVER.

i am going to keep track of eight W/L records, the overs and the unders will be separate, and they
will have [the same] four categories each.  those categories are:
-all numbers as posted
-teams scoring within 1.5 points of the required total, and the posted 2nd-half line
-teams scoring within the posted total, and the posted 2nd-half line is relaxed 1.5 points
-both, teams scoring within 1.5 points of the required total, and
 the posted 2nd-half line is relaxed 1.5 points

BOL

i don't think it will matter much, but all the over 2nd half lines are .5 too high.  it should read:

...or lower, and the second half line is...
5pm    hou/cle    95
5pm    nop/cha    93
5pm    mil/phi    94.5
5pm    nyk/was    93.5
5:30    bos/bkn    92
5:30    mem/atl    93
6pm    uta/chi    95.5
6:30    det/dal    92.5
7pm    orl/den    93
7:30    phx/min    96.5
8pm    okc/sac    95
8:30    ind/gsw    92.5
8:30    lal/lac    99
or lower, bet the OVER.
