Tailing these two, managed to snag Alabama at 13.5 live bet.
It does encourage and provoke chasing and bad habits but I think live betting can work for you if you take your predictions, as an example the ones in this thread and wait for them to be down mid game to get an increased spread (the opposite of chasing) and trust your initial judgement for the comeback to happen. If your team gets an early lead then obviously you missed an opportunity for a win but I think more often than not there will be at least a single point in the game where you can get a slightly better line than you would have pre game due to your choice of team being down a few points.
I haven't back tested this idea but I think it's not often that a team controls the game from the jump and obviously you wouldn't chase those games where they do instead you just accept those games as gone and only bet when you can get an increased point spread due to a opposing lead in points.
Your theory about Vegas only allowing it because it encourages losing and chasing for MOST bettors could also be said about all forms of sports gambling they take bets on including pre game because of course they allow those too.
Anyhow BOL everyone!

On the Alabama game this strategy paid off it was a loss for you but not if you waited for even just an extra 3 points on the spread. Obviously 1 game doesn't say much though and when comparing it to the amount of games you would miss due to your team winning from the jump it could still work out badly long term and obviously timing is crucial and this will most likely only work if you choose your parameters pre game and stick to them, making decisions on the fly mid game likely will encourage bad choices.
