Some of the best bets can be made at halftime.

The likelihood of getting a great line is tremendously increased.

And, you have information that you didn’t have before the game.

Three top tips to help you make the best possible halftime bet are:

Focus on Injuries

Focusing on injuries allows you to determine what a team will be able to do (and not do) in the second half. If a player is still a “go” following an injury, you should always evaluate the type of injury and its severity.

Analyze Penalties and Turnovers

Penalties and turnovers play a huge role in determining the outcome of a game. Analyze them to get a good feel on how the team you want to bet on is performing. If they’re jumping offside and fumbling the ball, it’s probably not best to bet on them. If they’re down because of a personal foul or targeting penalty, you shouldn’t rule them out.

Use a Team’s Second Half History to Your Advantage

The best halftime bets are made when a “second half team” is down at half. A “second half team” approaches the game in a manner that wears down the opponent, which makes a second half blowout a legitimate possibility.

Conclusion

Halftime betting can be a great way to make money. You now know three top tips to place the best possible halftime bet. Use them—and your intuition—to help you beat the sportsbook.
