Default NBA Halftime Betting
A mate of mine told me about this system he has been using (fairly sucesfully) in halftime betting in the NBA.

Basically the team that is losing at half time he has bet to win the second half - getting points alot of the time.

I was just wondering if anyone has any numbers to confirm if this is a good system or not.

It's not a good system
I'm guessing hits close to 50.0%

Purely SUBJECTIVE opinion and not NBA since I play mostly college: The last few years in college baskets it seemed to hold true for me quite a bit more than 50% of the time that a decent team down by double digits of say15 or more would close the gap significantly in 2nd half. But I would add that it certainly helps to watch the first half and know why the gap developed, foul trouble, injury, lights out 3 pt. shooting unlikely to continue, etc. I'm sorry I don't have figures for you though.

The greater the gap at halftime the more likely it would be cut into in the second half provided the game was not a total mismatch to begin with. Home team down helps even more. Not a system but common sense.

Wouldn't the second half line reflect the score of the game?
