    Should I middle?
    I have made this bet before the Princeton vs. Harvard game:

    Princeton (+8) vs Harvard

    The 2nd half line is:

    Princeton vs. Harvard (-6) for 2nd Half.


    Is this a good middle opportunity ?

      No. Assuming both are -110, you are giving away too much value for a skinny two point middle.
      Just my 0.02

        Much appreciated Dunder. My Over is already dead so I guess I should just take the small loss on this game.

          btw Dunder why do you say it's a 2-point middle? I really suck at this advanced stuff so I could use a guru...

            I'm on Princeton and that over as well John. I can't believe the score is 29-20 at half. That's sad.

              Yep, pretty sad indeed. Not gonna score +75 for 2nd half

                Its not a 2 pt middle. Princeton (+8) is up by 9, 29-20 at the half. With the 2H line being Harvard -6, its a 10 point middle.

                If he bets Harvard 2H -6, if Harvard wins by 7 thru 16 pts, he wins both bets.

                Its a very good middle opportunity.

                    He's thinking before the game started you found 2 separate lines of 6 and 8. He's not realizing you meant a 2H wager.

                    These middle opportunities, show up moreso when the dogs are winning at the half.

                      GOD DAMN IT.

                      Missed it. 2nd Half already started. Thanks anyway Dunder, don't blame you as I didn't explain it very well probably.

                      Thanks for clarifying JerseryShop...missed it already though//

                        I'd take Harvard 2H -6 for half the wager amount of your original bet.

                          Sorry John, I misread, the -6 is a 2nd half line. That gives you a full 10pts.
                          It´s marginal at -110 but if I were in your shoes, I would probably go for it.

                            Didn't pull the trigger after reading your post, and I'm fairly happy, Princeton outscoring them 7-3 with ten minutes to go. That over is real dead.

                              I typed it out, then deleted it earlier about how often the game fav sometimes has a complete turnaround in the 2h. A very entertaining game in this one, as Harvard basically turned it up a notch in the last 2 minutes of the game. 13 pts in 1:20 WOW.

                                No harm no foul, Harvard was a push for 2H.

                                Nice hit for the game.

                                      Thanks for the suggestion Dominater. I'm sorry for getting set-off earlier tonight, I am usually overly nice when I'm up alot of $$$ on the night.
