NFL Second Half Betting Online |
 NFL Second half football betting has seen a surge in popularity over the past few years. When placing a NFL halftime wager, a sports bettor can place a bet on the outcome of a "half" rather than a full game. This is a sports wager that is made at the half and it is graded based solely on the outcome of the second half and overtime. The halftime bet is used by many gamblers as a hedge to their original wager that they made. If you are watching the game you can sometimes get a feel for the game and the half-time wager allows you to bet on your feelings about how the game is going.
The football betting lines for the 1st half of games are a simple enough prospect, and are often close to the full betting line on a game divided by two. There's usually a slight difference to the favorite (so a -7 line might be -4.5 for the favorite in the first half), but by and large you can predict the football lines with some accuracy if you know the full NFL football spread. The sportsbooks can set the NFL 1st half numbers well in advance of the football game, and suffer no more than the typical exposure in the betting event of a bad line.
On the other hand, the second half lines will get set in the short time between halves are where the real adventure takes place, for the oddsmakers, the sportsbooks, and the players who elect to jump in! It takes a bookmaker only a couple of minutes to make the NFL halftime betting or NBA halftime betting line, but it may take a bettor even longer to find these halftime betting odds, shop around, and make their bet. So sign up today at Bookmaker.eu and get the best NFL halftime lines.
NFL Second half betting tips |
NFL halftime betting is a marathon, not a sprint. And it takes training to avoid the pitfalls that can damage your bankroll. A smart halftime wager coupled with your initial bet could see you reap some serious rewards.
A good spot for a second half NFL bet would be when a GOOD home team is down to the road team. This is one of our favorite spots and strongest bets when applied properly and in the right situations. Conversely, we DO NOT like to bet on a home team that is way up at the half and smashing it's opponent. If you think about it, teams with big leads tend to get lazy and go into prevent defense making it easy for the other team to move the ball on them. Furthermore, the motivation is clearly on the side of the team that's down because they obviously want to make a run at grabbing the lead in the game and in some cases they know their getting waxed so they just want to make the final score respectable.
There are also players that don't use the halftime play as a hedge. Some people may want to get a feel for the game before placing a wager so they wait until halftime to make a play. This can present some great opportunities if you are patient and do not force plays.
Here is an example of halftime betting: |
The line on the Vikings/Bears game where the Bears are favored by 7 points with a total of 39. The halftime score is Chicago 17 Minnesota 0. The second half line comes out as Chicago pick with a total of 17.
Here are some options that you can make for your halftime wagers:
If you originally have a bet on Green Bay you can:
1. Bet on Minnesota at pick for the 2nd half. If Minnesota outscores the Chicago by less than 10 you would win both bets. If Minnesota outscores the Green Bay Packers by more than 10 you would win your halftime bet and lose your original bet. If the Green Bay Packers outscore the Vikings then you would lose your halftime bet and win your original bet.
2. Knowing that the only way the Packers will not cover is if the Vikings score a lot of points you could bet the over for the 2nd half total. In this situation if the Packers can at least get a field goal then there is no way you could lose both your original bet and your 2nd half bet.
3. Since the Packers have a large lead you may feel that they will be conservative and will run the ball a lot to keep the clock moving. Because of this you may want to play under the total of 17 for the 2nd half.
4. You may just want to pass and assume that you have a great chance of winning your original wager.
