You have to win the 2nd half by 8 or more pts to win.....Looks like 13-7 means they only won by 6.

Wow. You might want to avoid half bets if you have to ask that question. Half lines tend to be tighter and much tougher to play, IMO

Nah I will still play second half bets from time to time. Better to ask questions than not. I just wanted make sure it was graded correctly lost by one point as I assumed. Actually 2 points for win and one point as push. We cannot learn anything in life by not asking questions haha RMONEY

Marshall is -16.5 for the game. They are up 14-0 at half.

Why take -7 for 2H, essentially making them -21 for the game. That is not how you play 2H wagers.

Generally speaking, you want to find line value from the opening number. Works very well with totals, where you have a high scoring 1H and the 2H is lower scoring. Or, you have a favorite that underperformed in the 1H and you can get a 2H wager that makes the game wager less.

Yes, It's a loss by one point. Just subtract 7 from the total of your 2nd half ( whichever team you chose scored 13 points in the second half ) you subtract 7 points ( the spread ) and you get 6. 6 is lower than 7 points, which unaltered. Beats your score, or bet.
