Question about Bet Jamaica

Howdy,

I am thinking of leaving my crappy book and heading over to BJ, my question is: How are they as far as in-game betting goes? Mainly halftime over/unders -- since that is where I find my greatest success.

The current book that I am at only offers over/unders on the larger games -- for example, there is no way that there will be a halftime number on Thursday's game featuring Boston College and Central Michigan -- and it's very likely there won't be an over/under for the game. I noticed BJ had the over/under for the game, but was wondering from some users of their book: Are they good for in-game numbers?

Betjm does offer halftime lines.
However, their lines are usually a half a point higher/lower than other books.
I like betting "Quarters" and unfortunately, they did NOT offer that last season.

Thanks for the response. Do they offer halftime lines for all games, or just a certain few?

I would say 99.99999999% of the games that they offer.
This is strictly for football.

They may NOT offer halftime lines for the WNBA.

Good Luck.

For WNBA lines, you need to sign up with BetCris.
