The Buffalo Bills leave in the second half and make a valiant effort but getting beat 27-21. You win your original bet of the Dolphins and its commitment -3.5 second half of the bills -4, because the bills beat the Dolphins in the second half 14-3. RESULTS: coverage = DOUBLE YOUR MONEY. To me, this is the best way to bet a halftime bet. Pushing beats losing any day of the week! The halftime wager is just another way to bet on a sporting event. It keeps you intrigued by the second half of game, including a blowout! Just realize that when it comes to betting-time: You do not get days, weeks, etc, to analyze the bet, as you would with a regular margin in a game. You get about 10 minutes to find out and get out. Choose wisely! Halftime betting can be very beneficial to bettors that know what they are doing and have seen the first half with a purpose.

The sports books have only a short period of time to put a line for the second half and due to the short period of time, the so-called smart money has not moved the line yet. This is a golden opportunity for you to make money if you’ve done the research before the game has started and we saw how close the first half. Examples of pre-game research are to see how the teams play in the first half compared with the second half.
