So, at halftime we have
30% vs 35% shooting.
Combined 3's are 5-35 so far.
26 personal fouls so far keeping us in it.
----------------------------------------------------------
Generally in the 'new NBA' you do not see these sorts of ugly games too often for a full 48 minutes.
Even at 211.5, we are getting 19 points off the game total.
With the halftime total at ~113 we are at 205 as of now.
What I do here is set tiers. I look for around 20 points of variance currently for overs to start playing. Then, I'll increase the size as it gets lower. I am willing to make 3 bets on this game. My next mark will be around 199-201 or so Live in the 3rd quarter. That bet will cover and ensure profit. If a 3rd bet is needed, then I will wait for less than 195 (this is subject to change in the event of how much time is left and if there is a blowout ensuing).
Is it a guaranteed win? Absolutely not. You just have to trust that things will straighten out sometimes. Now, totals are inflated due to the pace of games right now. Sometimes correctly, other times not. Charlotte home games when I focus on them the last few years are generally pretty solid for getting Live Overs. The Miami one was easy the other night.
I still feel like the original bet is in play, fwiw.
It is a feel thing too, a giant third may have me buy back middle in some situations.
