“What are some of the advantages of halftime betting?”–that’s a great question.

If you’re going to put money on a game, you might want to wait until halftime.

Three advantages of halftime betting are:

You Get to Bet on a 0-0 Game

A halftime bet is made as if the score is 0-0. Which means, you have the advantage of looking at an entire half before putting money down on an essentially new game. Some of the information you can use to help you make an educated, well-informed bet at halftime are:

• The flow of the game
• One-on-one matchups
• Team chemistry
• Coaching tendencies

This is invaluable information that you (obviously) don’t have at the beginning of the game.

Your Chances of Getting a Better Line Are Increased

Many times, you can get a better line at halftime.

Why?

Think about this:

On a college football Saturday, there are hundreds of games going on—twenty or so of them at the same time.

When the bookie sets his second half lines, he’s busy. As a result, the line you get can be a great one.

You Get a Line That’s Set by the Books

Books set their own halftime lines. This is a great advantage because it affords the opportunity to shop around. Often times, one book might offer a line that’s 2-4 points different that another book.
