I am thinking of the ND/Wash 2nd half number, which got set at +4, which I thought was low, given that ND was ahead by 17 as a -10 road favorite.
Then I started thinking of those bettors who had bet ND for the game, and were ahead already at the half.
Some of them would love to bet Wash 2nd half, have what they call a "nice middle" and maybe even lock up a small profit since they have to win either the side or the game.
BTW, I HATE that betback (they even call it a "middle"), I think each bet should stand on its own merit. But some gamblers like it....
Thoughts?
