Feeling good about taking the Giants -13 for the 1st half in this game. Which means I'm gonna lose that one. oh well, have a few other wagers on the Giants tonight.
I've never really done a "1st half wager", but this line seems crazy.
-4 for the whole game, but -13 for the first half? Is that how they normally go?
No. Bovada gives you a range of 1st half, 2nd half and even full game spreads and each quarter spreads for each team. The larger the spread, the bigger the payoff.
e.g, i think tonight you could take the Redskins +1.5 for the first half at like even money and the Giants at -1.5 for the first half at -105. there might've been an intermediate first half spread too.
but Bovada does restrict your wager amount if you win more than you lose consistently and eventually give you a "timeout" if you win on dogs (or maybe overall?) and cash out and hit some magical mathematical formula they have for not being a good customer. I noticed they only banned me when I cashed out my account and didn't wager any more and then went back to try to wager and was denied (back in May when I was hitting on Tyler Johnson player props that were paying over 10 to 1 initially, and never fell below 6 to 1. They do it weird too. You can login and view your account and all of the potential wagers, but you can't fund your account or make wagers. ANd they don't tell you anything about being on timeout or banned when you call. They told me there was a problem with my funding method when I called to ask what was up.
