      depending on how you played these it looks like you made a killing.
      Good work.
      Wouldnt recommend doing it all the time though I think you got really lucky today unless you actually put some research into this

        Makes some sense. 2nd half line factors in the possibility of overtime. As well as the fact that most people look for any reason to bet the over.

            yeah, when you do shit like this be ready for the day when you go like 0-11. i'd be interested to know how long you can last doing this and if there's really any merit to it, because it's tough to research 2nd half lines. so keep track if you can bro.

            good luck man.

                    1st half overs in NFL are doing good as well, but very good calls on NBA.

                        Seems like he did this thinking that the players all might be a little tired after staying up new years night and partying.

                          its a good idea..
                          usually a 3rd quarter can be a low scoring because team A doesnt score much and team B makes a comeback..
                          or..on the 4th quarter they waste time to preserve the lead
                          .

                                        I'm pretty sure the idea behind this was that it was new years day, thus teams getting tired in the 2nd half and not scoring much.

                                        But yeah, good luck with tracking it the rest of the year if thats what it is.
