    Why is the full game over under in the Philly Nets game 186.5 but the half time line is 99.5...

    Do the Books now predict play by play as well?

    Still, 99.5 to 191 is massive...

    But hang on, someone once posted here why the full game total was twice as high as the half time total, that person got insulted cause people were explaining the fouling situation at the end of the game which i agree with, but it is the opposite here....

    Doesnt this ring alarm bells to bettors?

    Nobody kills you more than me but this is a good thread.  I for the life of me can't believe this line.  This is so uncommon.  The Hawks total is 186.5.  First half line is 95.5 so the 2nd half total will be 91 and it usually doesn't matter if there is 50 or 200 points scored in the first half, that is the norm but this is so unusual.  I took the bait and took under 99 first half.

    I took it small on principle but watch there be 120 scored in the first half.  Feels like such a sucker bet.

    165, doesnt that alarm you?

    I mean, yesterday in the Heat Hornets game, there was a complete meltdown in the 4th moosing over backers.......

    That was a strange non expected event.....

    It's very rare, I think I only remember this 4 times this year where you saw a 10 point difference.

    The 2nd half under hit each time I believe.  I'm pretty sure the first half under hit more times than not as well.  Basically there is a crazy amount of value on the first half under and if the over hits it hits.  I have to take it and if the book outsmarts me than it won't be the first time.

    Are the books now predicting these?

    It's very rare, I think I only remember this 4 times this year where you saw a 10 point difference.

    The 2nd half under hit each time I believe.  I'm pretty sure the first half under hit more times than not as well.  Basically there is a crazy amount of value on the first half under and if the over hits it hits.  I have to take it and if the book outsmarts me than it won't be the first time.
