A Quarter Point Favorite?

[KVB]

According to SBR Odds, 5D was dealing a quarter point line at halftime in Minnesota...

09/11 08:46 PM	+¼ -110	-¼ -110
09/11 08:46 PM	-2½ +140	+2½ -160
09/11 08:45 PM	+½ -115	-½ +105
09/11 08:44 PM	+¼ -110	-¼ -110
09/11 08:44 PM	+2½ -140	-2½ +120

The second half was a 13-13 tie.

Not sure I've seen a quarter point line. In the end, I suppose it's not a pick 'em.

Yes that 1/4 point is HUGE when it may be 1/3!

Same as a -0.75 favorite

😂 where do they come up with this crap?

[Rich Boy]

Ive thought about this before, why chose -0.5?

Sure its even and makes sense, but from a betting perspective its the same as -0.0001 or -0.9999

[Shute]

Yes you are correct

[KVB]

Agreed Rich Boy, the half point is old school, from the beginning.

Bronco's looking solid.

What, you guys didn't hear that it's worth a 1/4 point to hit the upright with a kick? lol

[El Nino]

Haha funny. I had Vikes ML 2H (-115) on Heritage. Opened -135...lots of Saints backers were sweating that +1/2. Cook almost made them pay with that last run. After Brees got the predictable garbage time TD.

I am sure they put the quarter point out there so if you bet it and win, they will say you took a shot on an obviously bad line. If you lost, no problem. That's how they roll down there.

Is it an Asian handicap? Half bet on pk half on +.5?

[KVB]

I don't think so Otters, I don't think that's being offered for NFL halftimes, but good thinking, maybe you're on to something.

lol. Guess don't matter much if it a half point, qrtr point, third of a point or whatever. I would sell half a point and take the -.75 tho!
