Do you guys deal 1st half Money Lines. Is this something you offer or would it be offered upon request or is it something you do not deal. My local just cut me off as far as offering 1st half money lines. Like most, he deals first half speads and totals but will no longer entertain my request for a money line on halves. He cites one sided action (I'm the only one who requests them) as the main reason. My question- Do either of you take 1st half money line action? If not, would you put up a 1st half money line if a customer requested it or do you just not deal that type of wager. Thank you in advance for any response.

I deal first and second half lines but no half time $ lines.If a good customer wants something,usually try to find it for them.

Why is this not a more popular option? If a first half line is 3 why wouldn't books post a -170/+150 money line to go with it. Reason I'm asking is that I've known only one offshore book to offer this consistently and besides my local (not anymore however) I have not been able to find this option. From a book's stanpoint, why do you think that is?

I know Olympic will put a 2nd half money line from time to time, or during the NBA playoffs last year they did the first half money but I have only seen it offered consistently by one book. Even the great Ido at Yahoops let me down when it came to this. Thanks for the response Judge. If one of your customers wanted this as part of the menu, would you entertain this?

If they were a good customer and not sharp I would deal it.

no half time money lines, same reasons your local gives.....the only time i get player interest in 1st and 2nd half lines is during the playoffs and superbowl.
