Do big books cut people off from 2nd half wagering for winning or being too sharp?

Iceman · Oct 25, 2006

Do Cris, Oly, Pinny or any of the so callled sharp books cut people off of halfime wagers (2nd half). The numbers aren't as painted and they move qucik meaning some players may get great numbers consistetly from these shops, was wondering if books have been known to cut off players who bet these?

Anyone been cut off or know someone that has from these books on these particluar wagers?

I dont know, but I think 2nd half bets are the most beatable. I find myself lately not even betting on the game lines for NFL anymore. I just wait for the 2nd half lines or I will bet the games live on interactive at MATCHBOOK. I can lock in a profit on both sides in live wagering at Matchbook in almost 90% of the games.

Its amazing how much people over value the first score in a football game. They inflate the team that scores first way too much. Taking the team that is gets scored on first is a great play longterm.

2nd half lines are a double edge sword for books. It's a way to make more money but it takes more risk and effort. There is a very short window of time to balance action. So they have to keep the maximums low and their lines sharp. Unless they find someone is bypassing the maximum bet somehow or is getting away with past-posting, I can't see a need to ban anyone from these bets.

does Matchbook have 2nd half lines or I guess that would be the same as live "interactive" wagering but just happens to be place at halftime, correct?

books that r smart use halftimes for themselves entice action to middle players when they have the chance you would be surprised at how well this works out

Yes, im talking about interactives. Matchbook rarely changes the starting point spread during the games. Its not hard to lock in a profit on both sides of the game if you know what you are doing.

I would say I can lock in a profit on both sides 80% of the time, the other 20% I end up winning at least 50% anyway. I have not made a real one sided bet at Matchbook in a long time.

Matchbook is really good for games that I dont have a real opionion on. I use to be guilty of betting on the MONDAY Night game just for action.

I make all my Monday Night bets at Matchbook on games that I dont have an opionion on. I just go there with the intentions of locking in at least a +130 profit or better on both sides.

My biggest hit ever was hitting Dallas against Philly last season when Roy Williams intercepted that ball and returned it for a TD at the end of the game. I had Dallas +420 and Philly +130. Could not lose no matter what. But im glad Dallas won.

You sure about that? Im betting your just guessing vs having actual data to support your claim.

He just doesn't choose to let us know about the times where the team scores, he bets the other team only to see the first team score again. Then there is no get out of jail free card in any way shape or form. So to say 80 percent of the time ends up being a free winner, this guy is not buying it. And if so it will be very small winners versus what you lose if the 1st team scores again and your side never recovers.
