This is a great way to participate in basketball and baseball sports betting, without hassle with the daily grind of picking games when betting sports.
Sportsbetting lines include more than just sides and totals. When betting sports you can also choose halves and futures. Betting on halves is a way to bet on football and basketball while futures betting can be bet on almost every sport. Sportsbetting halves can be bet with the pointspread, the over/under totals, and in many cases the money line. Keep in mind that when you are betting sports halves that only the half you are wagering on counts, the other half is of no importance.
A smart strategy that is used by professionals when betting on halves in sports betting is to try and pick off bargains against the opening line for the entire full game. For example, let’s take a look at a college basketball game between Oregon and UCLA in which UCLA was an eleven-point favorite. In our example, UCLA got off to a slow start and trailed at the half 49-42. The halftime line then was made UCLA minus twelve. This means that for UCLA to win the halftime bet, they would have to win the total game by six points, which is a five point break off the opening sportsbetting price on the game.
Now let’s say that we take UCLA at the half at that sportsbetting line of minus twelve points, and the Bruins ended up winning the game by a final score of 80-71. That means that in the second half, UCLA outscored Oregon 38-22, which covered that twelve point halftime line even though they failed to cover the actual full game sportsbetting line. Halves sports betting is available on the first or second halves of most football and basketball games.
Futures sportsbetting is a great way to have daily action for an entire season on just one bet in sports betting. Futures sportsbetting is when you take odds on a team to win a championship of a sport such as the World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, NBA Finals, Nextel Cup, or the college national championships. You can also get sportsbetting odds on teams to win their respective conference championships. You can also bet over/unders on a team’s win total for the regular season when betting sports.
