Second Half Bet
A wager on the outcome of only the second half of a game. Second-half lines are posted at halftime and reflect the actual game state.
Like buying a stock after the earnings call — you have more information but the easy money may already be gone.
Why it matters
Second-half markets can be exploitable when halftime adjustments or blowout scenarios create mispriced lines.
How DMP uses this
DMP's momentum and scoring run data shows how teams perform in the second half relative to the first, useful for identifying patterns.
Common mistake
Betting second halves based on first-half results alone without considering coaching adjustments and pace changes.
