Looking for opinions on 2nd half bets

Just wondered how many of you guys like to play 2nd half plays. I recently started playing games in the 2nd half and have had much better success then I have ever have. Was looking for input regarding your different strategies and what you like to look for when making a 2nd half play. I'm not just talking football but basketball as well. Sides, totals, etc....

Thanks in advance, good luck to all the good people on this cool site!!

for basketball, I look at who has the edge in rebounding and Turnover's in the 1st half, because whoever has the edge in those areas will most likely win the game

Whats funny, is that I don't do 2nd half bets much, but my winning percentage is way better than my ATS record (as you can see below).

When I made 2nd half bets, I've learned, in football, don't go against the emotion. If a team is killing another and that team gets any points in the 2nd half, take them.

In basketball, a team can reverse the emotion of the 1st half a little more but it still works.

I've never done research on this, because it would be hard to determine what constitutes emotion and you would have to physically watch every game. But, again, I've learned never go against what you think is an emotional run.
