I don't get your question.

You're asking, at halftime, what would be the fair odds on the following bet?

Current score at halftime: Favorite 50, Underdog 60
Favorite to win the game by 4: odds
Underdog not to lose by 4: odds

where odds would be something like +300 or so because the odds of the favorite covering -4 for the game is equivalent to the favorite winning the 2h by 14 which is unlikely and would probably be in the +300 range.

is this what u are looking for?

if the Fav is a -2 and the over under is 100, the Fav is expected to score 51% of the points ... if the half finished at 50, snd the Fav is down by 10, then they fav actaully scored 40% of the points.

If the 2nd half Line is -3, the Fav is expected to score 51.5% of the remaining points ... wich if the game finished at 100 the Fav would have scored 45.8% of the total game points

which is 5.2% less than pre-game expectations ???????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????

team A -8 pregame ... Full game score expected pregame if half total is 100 is 96-104 Team A ... Halftime actual score 55-45 Team B, but team A expected to make up 4 pts ... then new full game score expected to be 108-92 Team B ... Original line off by 6% at the half ???

cuz team A will score 46% of the points as oppsed to pregame they were expected to score 52% ????

I graduated with an English Degree, Math is not my strong suite. Just looking for some help determining how much a pointspread is off for the game when the 2nd half line comes out. Probably simple stuff for most of you but I am having trouble figuring out when a favorite becomes a dog per the 2nd half line.

Example- A -4 favorite is losing by 10 at the half. 2nd half line has them at -3. SO for the game they have gone from a -4 favorite to a +7 dog. Now what percentage has the line changed from the original line? I have been unsure whether or not my math was right for faves that cross over into dogs.

Also, when trying to figure out how much an O/U line is off do you simply take (1st half score + 2nd half O/U line) - the original O/U and then divide by the original O/U? Is that an accurate line to see how far the original game line is off?

Again sorry if this is rudimentary stuff but I am not a math guy. Appreciate any help.

I'm sorry. I tried to help you but ironically I cannot understand a word you're saying despite your English degree.
