by playing 1st Q then 2nd Q I've done better. just sayin
NBA games are full of ebbs and flows. If you're confident about a half in the first place, if the 1st Q hits then you can close shop and take your winnings and not have to worry about a 2nd Q run. If not hit then 2nd Q
I've bet alot of halves just to see my team easily cover the 1st Q and not cover the half because of a run in the 2nd. Going quarter to quarter has been better for me (IE- when a home team is down a bit at the end of the 3rd and show good effort in the game, I'll usually hit the 4th Q -- look at New Orleans and Portland last night as examples). I like going quarter to quarter instead of an entire 24-minute half, it depends on the situation. A plethora of things can happen in 24 minutes of an NBA game
Sometimes I'll bet both the 1st Q and 2nd Q if I feel really confident in a play.. as I mentioned in the OKC game thread the other night where I bet both, or in the Suns gamethread when Nash was out and on a b2b. I went for the opposing team 1st Q and 1st half , both covered.
