If you had the MEM/ORL 1H under

Do I take 2nd half under 90???

I'm not saying a fix never happens but do you really think guys have wager on halves of basketball? I put a few in myself when I was in Vegas a month ago, but it seems like it would be pretty difficult to get a fix to work well enough on a half for it to be worth it.

I still don't understand how scoring bursts surprise you in the NBA. Do you not watch a lot of games?
If you want to see a scoring burst ruin a bet check out 36 points here scored in the last 5 minutes of this college game http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/playby...meId=330612351 where they average 7 points a minute for 5 minutes, not just a minute or two

I was watching the game, and like I said, players were literally getting out of each other's way.

I'd be careful with the 2H under. Memphis seems to always be involved in shady shit (Conley in particular), and I could see this same thing happening at the end of a blowout (ton of points scored out of nowhere, game magically goes over by a point or two).

Looks like I should've took it. Ah well.

I'm not saying your wrong but it just seems a bit unlikely the full rotation on both teams would be in on a 1st half fix?

So 15 points in the final 2 minutes? LMAO. That's shady especially considering the type of game Memphis plays (slow paced).

There were 10 points scored in the final 50 seconds of the first half in a Hawks game this year. It made me lose by 1

.

I was up 12 with like a 1:11 left, left to get a bite to celebrate my victory, came back to see I lost by 1 and had to check the box score.

The last minute was like three pointer, foul, foul, three pointer, foul. Awesome.

I love how there are like three possessions in the final 20 seconds of the half sometimes. Teams don't hold for the final shot. They drive to the hoop, foul, then the other team jacks a three 6 seconds later, then the other team sprints down and gets fouled again. These guys are so f*cking stupid.

With about 40 seconds left, the teams start trying to get a 2 for 1 possesions but it really ends up adding like 5-6 more possessions to the half. Team A shoots with 37 second left. Team Be shoots with 32 seconds left. Team A shoots with 27 seconds left. Team B shoots with 4 seconds left. Team A calls timeout to set up a layup which Team B doesn't defend at all and I lose by 1.

Game went over. LOL. There were like 15 points scored in the first 8 minutes of the 2H and 80 after that.

Vinnie Paz · 03-03-13, 08:23 PM

So magic decide to have their highest scoring quarter in the 4th while already down 500 points. Nice.

Just looked it up -- it was 66-44 with 4:54 left in the third quarter. That means over the last 17:06 of the game, there were 80 points -- between the Magic and Grizzlies.

Yeah, I swear this exact scenario happened to me like a week ago. The first 6 minutes there were like 11 points scored and I was feeling great and then boom, like 85 the rest of the half.

I had Memphis at -9 which I know isn't relevant (but could because the match could be being investigated?), but my bet hasn't been paid yet. And my bookie pretty much returns every single game within 2 minutes of it being over.

EDIT: as soon as I wrote this, it was paid haha
