New NBA Wagering Option at BetFirstClass

Tonight BetFirstClass will be doing something that I think none of you have ever seen before; we will post lines for the first 3 quarters of every NBA game.

That’s right, in addition to the usual lines for individual quarters, halves and the full game, we will post numbers for the score at the conclusion of the 3rd quarter. I have warned Mike that I think this is very beatable but he insists on doing this a few times during the current season as a trial to determine if he wants to offer this wagering option for the entire 2009/2010 season.

Personally, I think that it will be very difficult to research every team’s tendencies through the 3rd quarter for every game of a season in order to set a valid number but perhaps it can be done selectively, on a limited basis. I guess we will find out won’t we, as this should be an interesting test case.

Wagers for this new offering will be limited at $500 for sides and totals but players are free to wager on as many of these 3rd Quarter lines as they care to. The 3rd Quarter numbers will be posted by 12:00 CST so if you are interested, check them out and see if you can find an angle.

I for one, am intrigued to see how this works out.

As well as the "fix" conspiracy theorists.

There's something about my bookie telling me he's very beatable that makes me nervous...

Interesting......I've got a few "choke" teams in mind that I could make some dollars on. I'll have to track this for a few days to see if I'm right before I jump in.....Thanks for the heads up!

Edit....

Holy cow! The service my local uses has this now....must be the same platform..

JD, we will only be offering this option on Thursdays this season to test it out and only as long as we don't get killed. We picked today to kick this off specifically because there are only three games tonight.

I would say that it has to be. We host a ton of PPH (pay per head) sites so it wouldn't surprise me as I have never seen this offered anywhere.

If you don't mind, shoot me an email with your local's website as I am very curious if this is one of our customers.

No sir, my role is pretty much limited to marketing BetFirstClass to the forums which I am happy about.

Good to see you around the Mall, Darrel.

Thanks Judge....

I got a couple of units on these. This is interesting to say the least.
