    Matchbook - 2nd half lines left open for live trading?

    Looks like MB has decided to leave the 2nd half lines open for the Suns/Utah game.

    I wonder if this will be a new norm - or a one time thing. It was a 12 point game at half - with a 6.5 line - so its not like the line would not be in play.

    Hopefully they continue to do this as a regular occurance!

    In the past they have voided out all bets that were placed after the start of the 2nd half. I had one experience with this and it took them 2-3 days before they voided out the wagers.

    Those 2H NBA lines were dead last night. The market makers must have had to go to a birthday party or something.

    If the game is available for live betting don't see why they can't leave 2nd half lines up. Sounds like a mistake though.

    Well the odd part was Ive seen it done before - and they didnt have the "green ball" next to it to identify it as open for live betting. But this one did.
