I'm on Utah HUGE 3rd quarter. Laker's have been horrible in the 3rd.

[jebe99]

Utah +2 1/2

[The General]

[Tsoprano]

Solid call on Boston

Utah 2nd half +3 for me as well

Let's get it!

[RoagBettor]

Lakers -3 2H and over 105.5

[jellobiafra]

Love Utah +3

[jebe99]

Oh yeah, I did get Utah +3, not +2 1/2, at Matchbook.

[RkD KiD]

where are you guys getting Utah at +3????....i got mine at +4 1/2

[jellobiafra]

The Greek was +3

[jellobiafra]

Looks like I'd have been better off just flushing my money down a toilet.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Unfukingbelievable... What a bad choice of quarters for me to load up.

[RoagBettor]

The Jazz are a weak 8 seed and have played like crap the last part of the season. I refuse to bet against a strong #1 seed like the Lakers, I don't care where they're playing and what the history is. Same with the Cavs this year.

[jebe99]

What a finish in Utah game.

3-0 today, 11-3 in playoff 2nd halves.

So far the 2nd H #'s been soft. Get'em while you can.

#'s will get harder as we get deeper into playoffs.

[The_Kid]

Lakers won the 3Q by 16 (33-17) and Utah won the 4Q by 10 (28-18).

That means Utah was -6 for the 2H...

Jebe... as soon as I saw you were on Utah 2nd half, I knew we were in the money

Any method to your madness, sir?

Good job

[jebe99]

Any method to your madness, sir?

Good job

I look usually look for ;
Dog in 2nd H that was dog for the whole game, but with a lead, and
Fav in the 2ndH that was fav for the game,but with a big lead at HT.

Then I look at teams' FG%, # of 3 pointers taken, rebs, and of course, the fouls on players.

Teams with better FG% and with lesser 3pointers taken have the advantage in the 2ndH, ususally.

My 2nd half method to the madness has netted me 63% last few years.

[The General]

Thanks. I like to play the team who played best in the 1st half.

[jebe99]

I think the problem most people have with 2ndH is that they try to get back the losing bets on the 2ndH bets.
For e.g., Chi was -3 1/2 for the game,down 22 at HT, -6 1/2 for 2ndH.
So those that had Chi -3 1/2 for game will play chi 2ndH -6 1/2,meaning they're +15 1/2 for the whole game.
They think they're getting a bargain, but 2ndH needs to treated like a brand new game, or they'll usually fall for the bait.

[dennisback]

if there is a 15+ lead at half, im taking the better team ML because they usually rest in 4th quarter and not in 3rd. Just look at Dallas and Boston tonight both won 3Q, boston was 3pts dog (ML @ +215) and dallas 2pts dog (ml @ +150). Those are the easiest way to win a bet with that good odds.

[fishtot]

so in other words, you simply look for the 1st half winner to be up big so that you can hammer the team in the 2nd, regardless if they were the dog or fav for the game? just trying to simplify

[fishtot]

**** the 6ers, they didn't make this observation come true
