Quarter Line Question

[Blitz]

Why is it my book has WV -3 for half but minus .5 for 3rd quarter and even for 4th? Doesn't make any sense to me. Jumped on CU 4th quarter and half but I just don't get it.

What book?

sportsbook.com. what am I missing?

Maybe because WVU had the ball 1st in the 2nd half, they figured they might have one more possession in that quarter...

That's what I thought.

WVU would still have to win either quarter to win the wager. It doesn't really matter.

What I was really asking was why would the quarters add up to a line of .5 for half and the half line be 3? Common sense tells me they should be close.

Oh got ya, that could use an explanation yea.
