ganch's tool is a good approximation for buying .5 pt across the whole nba game, anyone have a reasonable estimation for 1st half .5 pt values? I don't have a 1st half DB so looking for some help here..
today for example i want to take atlanta, obv -7 across the whole game is unreasonable due to the inflated value of 7 being a key spread. so i was left w/ 1st half -3.5 -115 or 1st half -4 -105, i decided to take 1st half -4 -105 but would like to see if there is a general estimation rule we can use going forward on 1st halves. Are there any key 1st half spreads like 6 or 7 for full games?
also what is the general approximation for .5pt value on 1st half totals? ..obv they're worth less than the 1st half spread .5 pt.
