Orlando/Philly

Put up 71 in the first quarter

How come I still think my over will come down to the last couple minutes?

Sometimes after a huge 1q teams lay an egg in the 2q......they are still scoring like crazy here this one is safe at 53-53 with 29 minutes left.

Usually if I have an over and only need 3 pts per minute the rest of the way its a 95% winner.....this one is at that point midway through the 2q.

Good position to look for a middle at the half, even if its half your full game stake.

A 2h Under might hit but this game going over is already in the bag. If I bet this I would be counting the cash already. JMO

Cav's game I could get screwed in the 2nd half

Current O/U listed at 5 Dimes for Cavs 2nd half is 1032 and I'm not kidding

Yeah I hear you but I have to play it for at least half my original play

Its like an auto double down in blackjack when dealer showing a 6 and you have a 10. Have to maximize profit possibility IMO

I have to disagree. This is more like splitting 10's IMO against a 6.

Maybe middle a game where u have a 10 pt window and just incase the original over doesnt hit you get back 1/2 on the middle opp.

This is a mortal winner.....adding a 2h bet on the under would be considered a whole new bet as far as I am concerned.
