Default Do you feel betting halftime lines or the entire game is the smarter wager?

Personally, I feel wagering on halftime lines is really the better way to go.

Either way there's opportunties presented. I bet between 1 week in advance to the 88th minute of a soccer match.

I think in CBB there may be opportunities. For example, when a less talented, yet highly motivated home underdog can hang with a more talented or athletic team for the first half. They then run out of gas, or depth, in the second half and get run out.

halftime lines are more about trends more so than matchups

Halftime lines are generally less efficient. For instance, just with Bookmaker and Pinny, there are often straight out arb opportunities with halftime CBB lines.

Depends. Momentum is a big factor for halftime lines.

i have to say betting the entire game.
only because i continue to get hammered betting 2nd halfs.
I clear profits with games and get up then get greedy with 2nd halfs and end up killing the profits.
I got this problem in check a few weeks ago and quit betting halfs.
untill today I did it again with the same results

discipline is my friend, just got to practice it

If you watch the 1st half then the second halve is better to bet on vs entire game. I think you can see who is actually better watching the 1st half and then make a better decision.
