2nd half betting

Apologize in advance if this has been addressed but I was wondering what the breakdown you all thought of all 2nd half betting across the major sports----

CHASING A PREVIOUSLY MADE BET

HEDGING A PREVIOUSLY MADE BET

BETTING 2ND HALF FRESH (NO PREVIOUS BET ON GAME)

The poll will be for the most likely scenario but I assume a % breakdown like this----

CHASING (55%)

HEDGING (15%)

NEW BET (30%)

sometime I will chase a previous bet in the 2nd half but most of the time it's a new bet. You can find a lot of value in 2nd halves imo

i would tend to think that people chasing don't chase the same game as often as doubling up or betting another game

CHASE 20%

HEDGE/MIDDLE 30%

FRESH BET 50%

It's hard to chase the same game when you are feeling sick about your bet in the first place. lol

to me its about placing a new bet, that sometimes you use to buy you're way out and sometimes you know you got the nuts and want more. most importantly it is a new bet and should be treated as such. imo really has nothing to do with previous bets.
