College Basketball Halftimes - Bet NBA Halftimes

 Betting on college Basketball Halftimes

What follows is a brief primer on how the halftime bet can be used, how it can be extremely profitable, and what things to look for when making a halftime bet. Please put your thinking caps on for this one – this article is somewhat complicated, but understanding and using what is contained herein can increase
your sports betting profits dramatically.

Betting on games at halftime, after the first half has been played. The books offer a line based entirely on action that occurs in the 2nd half. Numerous examples will follow, but the reader should be able to understand the concept that halftime lines are not for the entire game -- only the action that occurs after halftime will count for their wager.

Books offer this betting opportunity to bettors for a number of different reasons. The primary reason, of course, is to get more action. Since bettors must lay 11-10 on standard halftime bets, much the same way they do on full game wagers, sports books have a built in 4.5% advantage. The more action they can create,
the better off that they are, because sportsbooks make most of their profit through sheer volume. Increasing volume is the goal of any sports book director.

But that isn’t the only factor that encourages books to post this halftime number for bettors to wager upon. Sports books theoretically desire balanced action on games to ensure their profit. But in reality, most games don’t have spilt action, with equal money on both sides so that the bookmakers profit is ensured. Rather, they have too much liability on one side or the other, meaning a nice profit if the bettors lose, but a big loss if the side the bettors have wins. So, sportsbooks use the halftime line as a way to hedge their own potential losses when they don’t get balanced action.


Watch the First half for free, then decide

Even if you have no bet at all for the game as a whole, you can often make a bet at the half when you feel that you have an advantage over the linesmaker. As a professional handicapper, I find myself ‘on the fence’ about some games almost every day, where I have a lean that just isn’t strong enough to make a bet on a particular side or total. But after watching the first half, my original lean looks to be towards the right side. I’ve watched the first half for free, and now I’m ready to make a wager. Halftime betting allows me that option.

College Basketball Betting

College basketball is definitely a treat to watch. Athletes that soar above the basket rim to score and pulsating games that keep you on the edge of your seats- that is the stuff college basketball is made of. Some of those games seem like they are almost a lock. College basketball betting is not as difficult as many people may think. An intelligent bettor should be able to avoid the pitfalls with experience. For beginning halftime bettors, I would strongly recommend that you keep your wager size below that of your
normal standard wager. There is a steep learning curve, and not much time to make decisions. Once you have become more proficient and you begin to win at halftime betting on a regular basis, you can increase the size of your bets.
