I know Olympic does. I can't find the thread, but somebody suggested playing Q3 and Q4 ( NBA) under as 2 bets instead of H2 under as one bet, if you like H2 under. I may start doing that after getting burned out of yet another under (NYK) via OT.

I think Trojan has it, probably CRIS, anybody else ? I take it the rule is universal that Q4 does not include OT ?

Makes sense to me to play unders by quarter, and overs by half, assuming I have the rule correct that Q4 does not include OT, I don't see how it could be any other way ! Please confirm.

Well no CRIS, but Trojan does, probably 5D, as well.

Can anybody confirm that Q4 does not include OT ?

Q4 doesn't include OT.....standard rule.

But you never know...always a good idea to check the rules.

It sure seems the way to go with unders for H2 NBA ! You might split and go 1-1 instead of winning, but you could also win both quarters instead of losing the under to OT. You could also go 1-1 instead of losing if half goes over ( without OT) via a low-scoring Q and a high scoring Q.

Anybody have a reason not to play it like this ?

OT probably doesn't happen enough to justify playing Q's 3 and 4 under and H2 over, but it looks like a nice way to cut the OT losers.

I'd guess a H2 bet over, that gets an OT must go over about 90% of the time. I've had plenty of whole game overs not make it over with OT, but that added 15+ points has to mean a lot on a half.

Anybody have stats ?

I'm too lazy to dig it up but on surface I would say you are right Doug, I'd guess at least 90% of them go over if they hit OT. That might be even on the conservative side. I have lost them before though, I know that. More than once I found myself rooting for double/triple OT trying to sneak an ill advised over bet in....

I think I'll play them like that often, only reason I see not to is if you have to pay -110, instead of -105. Of course you have a better chance of determining the liklihood of OT after H1 is played.
