    Was this a good bet?

    I was looking for something to hedge and noticed OKC +1 for the 2nd half. I jumped on it. I don't even understand 2nd half bets.

    Does the score basically start 0-0 and OKC needs to win or not lose by more than 1?

    yes. if they lose 2nd half by 1 point then your bet is a push

    you jumped on it and you don't even understand it?

    that sucks

    it applies for 2nd half and overtime only, erase the 1st half score.

    Sounds a bit reckless but I had been switching between the Cubs game and the OKC/Lakers game and the Thunder were looking solid. Halftime was almost up and I saw the 2H spread which had the Thunder +1 and just felt like a good bet.

    Not sure if I have the lingo right but I meant with money lost if the 7th run does not come in. Is that not hedging?

    Geez. Castro with a triple in the bottom of the 9th. How I miss the Cubs of 2008 when they had more sluggers.

    2nd half bets in general are not really the best investments...just stick with the full game bets instead.

    Next time its referred to as a chase. You lost a bet so you make another to "make up" for a losing wager (s), its called a chase not a hedge. A hedge is something you might see once in a while if you peek in the shower while mom is in there.

    Also its not ideal to "chase" with a bet that is not even completed yet....bol in the future.

    What is the average amount of months it takes an SBR poster to understand the rules of wagers (they are already betting on)? No wonder this place is a gold mine for the books and SBR.

    Thoughts on the bet? Just picked something. Not really into hockey so I stayed with the NBA.

    so if a teams down by 4 (51 to 55)and the line is +9.5 what could they lose by and still cover? 101 to 110 ?

    I doubt anyone would offer a +9.5 2H line.
