Question 1st half and 2nd half betting - Is there more value in these?

Does it help you to bet a 2nd half bet when you actually can watch the first half and get a feeling for the game or in the end is it just as hard as anything else?

Thoughts?

I like to bet 1st halfs sometimes but not a lot.2nd halfs are way to hard to predict.I very seldom bet second halfs.

Personally I think they are more of a gamble than regular plays. With regular plays every team is fighting for the common goal to win and win by as much as possible at the end of the game. Any team at any time can have a bad half or quarter at any time.

I think with big favorites sometimes a first half bet is safer to prevent from a backdoor cover but I also think predicting a 2nd half (if you watched the first half) might be a little bit easier. JMO

True - Like anything else it's still a gamble but point taken. The NFL teams could careless if they cover a half as long as they win the game

Yeah I was summing it up in a general way....obviously If u pick your spots carefully (like any bet) half bets could work for you over time....back to that word discipline again.
