I'm curious... how can you make a 2nd half pick until the 2H line is available at half time? The guy specifically said he waits til half time and then takes a look at the line and see what fits his system.

He isn't talking about props here. Why do people bash others in here for taking a point of view and putting their thoughts out there?

He wasn't bashing me. I think he was poking at someone who asked what my plays were before the games even kicked off.

I misunderstood.

I am working on a similar system and playin under usually is very risky especially with OT, did you explain your system anywhere in the forum? I havent seen it, yet. Good luck

I really think you need to reevaluate your system. Not of to a good start.

davepersaud · 02-10-11, 08:21 PM

Actually still waiting for what your "system" is.

CBB2H · 02-10-11, 08:50 PM

Tough crowd I see.

Final in Furman/G Southern game under by 21 points.

Other two haven't gone final but GT looks like a loss and we have a 25 point cushion with 4 minutes in FIU game...

2-3 -6.90 UNITS

CBB2H · 02-10-11, 08:56 PM

Wisc Milwaukee/Loyola Chicago UNDER 72 (1 UNIT) small play

CBB2H · 02-10-11, 09:05 PM

GT/FSU game is a loss.

If the FIU game goes to OT I will throw up.

2-4 -10.20 UNITS

TPowell · 02-10-11, 09:09 PM

quit betting 2h unders on close games is your first problem. Overtime isn't a great excuse IMO. I had a system at 1 point betting overs on 2H totals if the game was within 5 points at half in a spread of a certain amount (less than 6 or so)

CBB2H · 02-10-11, 09:11 PM

Unreal. Another heartbreaking loss. I must suck at this...

2-5 -15.70 UNITS

CBB2H · 02-10-11, 09:13 PM

I picked the wrong time to be in a rut I guess. It happens but I'll stick by it since it's been money all year but unfortunately not on this board so far.

Tenn Tech/Murray St. UNDER 74 (3 UNITS)

CBB2H · 02-10-11, 10:05 PM

Loyola a final and finally the gambling gods repay me today.

3-5 -14.70 UNITS

ebbearsfb1 · 02-10-11, 10:07 PM

yea like t powell, said unders in close games are rough with fouling and what not... y not just fade your stuff?

CBB2H · 02-10-11, 10:10 PM

You should fade me then. Make a fortune off these for sure.

Didn't take....never try to catch a falling knife. Looking good for you though

ebbearsfb1 · 02-10-11, 10:15 PM

maybe... what exactly is your system? does the total line have anything to do with what your playing?

the reason im wondering is cause for la/fiu... i thought it should be 2nd half over... the score was 27-29... 58 points 80 points gets to 138... but game total was 155... 17 point difference... so taking the 2nd half over gives you a 17 point window compared to people who took the total game over

CBB2H · 02-10-11, 10:28 PM

Murray game wins by 14.

Pretty piss poor week. I know I don't have proof but i've made a killing off this. Not sure if Rivalry week is the case or what and how this will playout come tourney time.

I'll get into more of the details of the system tomorrow and maybe you all can add to it or help tweak it. Sub .500 record looks poor but honestly have made a killing this year on it.

4-5 -11.70 UNITS

CS Fullerton/CS Northridge UNDER 77 (1 UNIT) small play

Aussiecapper101 · 02-11-11, 01:41 AM

keep at it, too early to throw in the towel yet

TPowell · 02-11-11, 02:07 AM

this gives me the urge to pick back up my old system, I may try that. BOL pal

2H total betting can be very profitable, but it can be pretty difficult primarily due to the <15 min you have in which to make these wagers. first, it takes time to evaluate a halftime box score and game situation. then, after completing this analysis, it takes even more time to shop lines and actually place your wager. all this must happen in a small window of time. things only get more complicated when a number of games are going to half at once. its extremely taxing to try and analyze every game and get down before the second half is underway. lots of opportunities are lost simply because there isnt enough time to look them all over.

thursday card was just about in right in size to comfortably assess most of the days games. yesterday (wednesday) was a different story with 20 gms going off at 7 EST, meaning 20 gms were going to half at about the same time. very hard to properly look over 20 betting possibilities in say 20 minutes time. thats an average of only 1 minute per game, which presents a big problem. to keep ahead of this game, my advice is to continually monitor box scores while the first half is being played and determine what you may be looking to play once the half is over.

im not privy to what CBB2H is looking at when evaluating a box score and game situation, but based on my criterion i found a number of strong plays thursday. i was surprised that CBB2H didnt coincide with any of them. PS i do play mostly unders. they were:

ST JOHNS over 72.5 (WON by 22)
MORE over 66.5 (WON by 16)

SAMF under 71 (WON by 11)
SEMO under 71 (lost by 11)
ARKST under 71 (lost by 9)
DEN under 64.5 (WON by 9)
STAN under 72.5 (WON by 8)
LBS under 78 (lost by 1)
GONZ under 76.5 (WON by 17)
UCLA under 73 (WON by 8)

espn.com is an excellent source for box scores. most are available and you can switch conferences quickly from a drop down menu. highly recommended. those missing at espn can sometimes be found at sportsline.com gametracker. sometimes a box score isnt readily available and requires some web searching to locate the colleges homepage in order to find a live stat link for their current game. search for something like "wofford men's basketball live stats".

dont give up on 2nd half totals your on the right track.

PRiiMO · 02-11-11, 09:36 AM

this place is bad luck

robinhood · 02-11-11, 03:22 PM

Just when I was about to give up on these forums, infinite wisdom actually brings good advice for once. Most times, this board is full of bookie shills spewing wrong picks on purpose. Thanks.
