Football Halftime
Betting insight |
Informed football sports bettors prefer to bet the second half of the game
rather than the first half of the football game, now sports bettors are starting
to place their football bets after watching the first half of a particular game and
are loading up on the second half.
Others are looking to hedge their bets or middle the book (attempting to win both sides
of a bet by having the game number fall in the middle of two lines wagered on opposite
sides) by going against their straight bet team in the second half. In certain cases
where bookies know that the public is going to go after a certain second half side,
the number will most likely be shaded towards the favorite.
College Football Halftime Betting
The football bets are placed on the odds posted
for the second half of a game only. All bets must go the
full half for action (first half and second half). All
halftime football bets are calculated the same as a
straight bets unless
otherwise indicated. There are no teaser plays or buying
of points on half-times. On halftime bets, overtime
periods are included as part of the 2nd half.
European Odds
European odds are different from the North American
style of odds. In North America, money lines are used
to determine the line. In North America, a team that
is +140 would be a 40 point underdog. This means that
for every $100 wagered, the player would win $140. For
this to be true in a European style of betting, the
odds would be 2.40-- meaning that for $100 wagered,
the player would win $140. The 2.40 represents the entire
amount wagered and won by the player.
Buy Points Online
You can move the point spread on football, so
that you give away less points with the favorite or
get more points with the underdog.
To do this, you pay an extra 10 cents on the dollar
for each ½ point you buy in your favor. You may buy
up to 3 points!
