    First Half Plays
    Now that the season is in full swing I will be releasing my first half plays. They are based on current season first half trends, RPI, and several other factors. I like first halves since certain teams tend to be better or worse in the first half of the game, and the line never reflects this, since the first half time line is based on the game line. Though I have played first halves for years, I recommend to start slow, since the deeper we get into the season the more data I'll be able to draw from. Good luck to all.

    Tuesday's First Half Plays:

    #544 Miami OH
    #559 Ark LR
    #559/560 Ark LR/ILL St. under
    #570 Kent
    #575 Samford

        Last couple of years I did it just for myself, did not post, so I did not keep perfect records, but suffice to say, I made money, or I would not go thru all the effort this year. When I have time I will try to post some of the current season trends, influencing my decision.

        Here is just one of many favoring Miami of OH:

        EVANSVILLE is 0-6 against the 1rst half line (-6.6 Units) after a non-conference game this season.
        The average score was EVANSVILLE 25.8, OPPONENT 38.5

                        I don't understand how Kent St. can be losing like this. St Peters has only 2 wins. 1 was against Binghamton. Just ridiculous.

                            Feel the same way. I played them at half units just to see but even then I cost myself almost two full units and the best part is that as soon as we stop tailing is when he's gonna go hot and then when re-tail he'll lose...

                            Ahhhhh the irony !!!!

                              Ouch 1-4 -3.4 units Not a good start

                              No one is more upset than me. I spend hours handicapping, I bet the plays only to have a bad night.

                              No plays tonight. It is not because we went 1-4 last night, but there is no current season half time information that matches up, so no plays.

                              By the way, thanks Slickrick for the points.

                                  No problem bud. We all have bad days. Just sucked you had it during your "grand opening" But from the little I've read I'm sure you'll do much better going forward. Wish you the best and I'll keep tabs on your thread. Cheers

                                    Good afternoon,

                                    One first half play today:

                                    #668 New Mexico -13.5 to -14

                                    Here is one of many reasons for this play.

                                    NEW MEXICO is 7-0 against the 1rst half line (+7.0 Units) after playing 3 consecutive games as favorite this season.
                                    The average score was NEW MEXICO 37.6, OPPONENT 22.0


                                    Good luck to all

                                      2-4 YTD

                                      One first half play so far today. It's a 4:00 Central Time start!

                                      #741 California +3


                                      Here are 2 of many reasons for this play.

                                      CALIFORNIA is 8-2 against the 1rst half line (+5.8 Units) after a non-conference game this season.
                                      The average score was CALIFORNIA 36.4, OPPONENT 23.6

                                      CALIFORNIA is 8-2 against the 1rst half line (+5.8 Units) in non-conference games this season.
                                      The average score was CALIFORNIA 36.4, OPPONENT 23.6


                                      May be back with another later game.

                                      Good luck to all

                                            It's the first half line and it is +3 not -3 thanks. The change has been made.
