Something to look at for the NBA playoffs. I've been noticing that the dogs, especially the home dogs, have done well early in the game and faded bad in the second half. So tonight I tried something for all three games.
I played the dogs on the MoneyLine for both the first quarter and the first half. That was
Washington 1Q +190, 1H + 230.
Utah 1Q +150, 1H +175.
Denver 1Q -110, 1H +120.
What was also interesting is that all three of these teams went into the fourth quarter ahead, lost that quarter bad and each lost the game. I think this is due to the favorites and/or the teams ahead in the series, taking the dog for granted and not feeling any urgency until late in the game. In fact, betting the other team to cover the second half, all would have won too. Of the eight weekend games, this same thing happened in five of the eight games.
I'm not saying make these plays blindly, but it is something to look at for the rest of the playoff games, although tomorrow dosen't seem to apply.
