    Lightbulb JJ,Need your opinion on something...

    I wanna see what you think about 2nd half lines...as of late Ive been killing em...Like last night I put 10 units on the Kings +12.5 Vs. Lakers and cashed nicly....but I know sooner or later Im gonna get cracked....You think 2nd half lines are a safer play because you can see the trends from the first half?

    let me know bud

    I went 1-1 with 2nd half lines today. Actually had the Lakers -12, and San Diego at a pick em. I think you can make some money on halftime lines. You can see one half and bet accordingly to what you see. I think this is better then betting accordingly to what you see on paper or feel. You actually get to see if they are playing appropriately to favor a halftime line.

    I would like to say I am shocked the Lakers couldn't rally a comeback at home and win by more then 1 tonight for me. I would bet that spread everyday given the same situation and all. The Lakers need wins to uphold the top spot in the West just as anybody, I'm surprised they got slipped up here.

    Second halves are better than first halves as you can see how the game is going and who matches up better. Some games you can clearly see one team is much better than the other. The key is you need to watch the 1st half on tv not watching scores on internet.

    Coach, I'm sure for a seasoned veteran like you that winning second halves is like phucken shooting phucken fish in a phucken barrel. Would love a video on this though, if you can find the time, that goes into the specifcs.

    Thanks for the driveway tips too, pal. I shoveled it before bed and again this morning and it took me 5 mins both times with no back pain.

    Second halves are better than first halves. I've never been a fan of 1st half betting for baskets because it usually doesn't have any factor into the overall outcome of the game.

    On the other hand, if you do bet 1st half you can attempt to catch yourself for the 2nd half. Take the Vols vs SC game yesterday for example. If you put money on the Vols 1st half you lost. However, realizing that the Vols are much better than SC most people would think placing a bet for the Vols 2nd half is a lock. Once in a while you will get burnt here because the team that is supposed to be good eats shit but for the most part this type of second half bet works in your favor.

    If you take the above scenario into consideration you would be easy winnas if you just watched the 1st half of the Tenn game and realized that there is no way Tenn is gonna keep the game that close vs a shitty team like South Carolina. Then you would only bet the 2nd half of the game and land in the green.
