I've heard of this one before.  I'm sure it works sometimes and BOL if you decide to try it.   In theory it makes sense, but like I said before, it's more than a #'s game there are lots of other factors you have to consider.

Well amusing definitely, not bashing it because I haven't ever tried it because I have my own system that works pretty well... but Holy Cow  70%!!!  Have you tried this yet?

I think the sticking point to that system is it doesn't account for days rest or injuries...  You need to factor things like this in yourself.

With that system it says my Under 200 in the Knicks game tonight is .  So I guess you proved something to me.

I dont know about the half . Of course u need to use all the information available and then apply to the system.  not just look at the stat alone.

I was wondering when this would surface again....surprised it took so long.  This was tried by someone a LONG time ago...it was hot as can be until it crashed (like all "coin" flip sytems eventually do) and they guy got run off of covers (I think he went tout too).

You're no better off with this system then you are flipping a coin.

Doesn't this mean that you are always taking (or assuming) that the second half will always be opposite of the first half?

I think we're coming up with something here...  There is a larger advantage to us handicappers in halves because the books have limited time to make these lines.  We need to look the numbers are trends and into the endurance and skill of the roster to play a full 48 mins. 


Are you sure we are at an advantage? We watch, they watch...  but they probably have a better computer than ours....

A Capper also has limited time. And a capper is probably more emotionally involved so might have a more clouded vision...

If you watch the game without wagering on it at first, you should be able to maintain and unbiased viewpoint. 

We were on to something last night with the Clippers and Raptors.  When the books give points out at halftime on a team that is already winning the game on a favorite, we find ourselves at an advantage sometimes because public perception on the Lakers and Magic think they will bounce back after half most of the times.  Sometimes it does happen, but if you know what to look out for, you will be on the right side of most of your half wagers.

You can also try to look ahead in the game and understand what part of the 48 minutes teams are at their highest and lowest.

All over the Under 200 tonight in the Knicks game, leaning their side too but its hard when both teams could be an 8 seed in the playoffs right now and they both have turned corners this past month.  I'm gonna rely on Defense tonight. 

Be back later for halftime update...

My money is on the under since it went up to 200,but i put some chump change on the knicks -3.My gut thinks charlotte will cover if i could have gotten them at +4,especially since the knicks fold like a tent in the 4q.I'm thinking knicks -2 1h and char +2 2h and char +1 4q

Harrington kept me off the Knicks but upped my under.

Lots of fouls to start the game...

Bruce, i compare the total score of first half to the line at halftime; like this game the first half score is 93 and the line is 98, i play under 98.  i just assume that they play at the same level.
