How to bet NFL Las Vegas 1st Half Odds

Football is by far the most popular sport to bet and being able to wager on 1st Half odds gives you more opportunities to win. If you’re looking to get more involved, then you better check out the NFL Las Vegas 1st Half Odds.

Similar to the NFL Las Vegas Odds, the 1st Half Odds focus are based on point-spread wagers.

Unless the game is listed at pick ‘em, every matchup will have a favorite and an underdog. Every contest starts with the Date and Time before listing the Rotation of the matchup. Some sportsbooks may use a different rotation for the first-half, but it’s likely just an extra digit associated to the rotation for the full game.

Unlike full game wagers, NFL Las Vegas 1st Half Odds are only for the first 30 minutes of a game. Game wagers, money-line bets and over-under (total) selections are decided on the full 60 minutes and any additional overtime action if the contest happens to see an extra session.

After the final 30 minutes end, your wager is final and most sportsbooks will grade and payout quickly after the outcome has been made official. Betting on the 1st Half Odds isn’t for everybody but our numbers from multiple books certainly make for a great resource.

NFL 1st Half Over-Under Odds

Over-Under or Totals are also offered on our NFL First Half Odds page. Bettors can wager on the two teams to go ‘over’ or ‘under’ the posted total and the odds are set for the first 30 minutes of the matchup. If you’re hoping for plenty of points early, then an ‘over’ wager is a solid choice and if you believe both teams will play a defensive style and run clock, then an ‘under’ ticket could be the way to go.

How to read NFL 1st Half Odds

Understanding how the oddsmakers set NFL Odds could be a little overwhelming at times and maybe confusing. However, there are a couple things to understand when looking at the Game Odds and 1st Half Odds. Normally, you would think that the lines would be trimmed in half for the first 30 minutes and then the full 60 minutes.

That’s not the case.

Game Line: Atlanta at Minnesota (-4.5)
1st Half Line: Atlanta at Minnesota (-3)

In this example, Minnesota needs to win by five points or more to cover the entire game, but has to be leading by four points or more to cash 1st Half bets. Obviously, those numbers don't line up for half the time of the game as bookmakers have made Minnesota a three-point favorite in the 1st Half instead of a 2.5-point favorite.

Most bettors lean to the favorites, especially at home, so the oddsmakers add an extra point for that theory. If you happen to see a favorite lay less than half of the full number, it could make you run to the counter and back the ‘chalk’ but some sharp bettors will tell you it’s a trap set by the guys behind the counter.

The Over-Under and Total lines for the NFL 1st Half aren't too far off from the entire game Total.

Game Total: 48
1st Half Total: 23.5

Sticking with Minnesota and Atlanta squaring off, the total of this particular contest closed at 48 for the game. However, the 1st Half Total is 23.5, which means an 'over' ticket needs at least 24 points or more to be scored prior to halftime, while 23 points or fewer equates to a winning 'under' ticket.

Remember, since they are separate bets you can bet 'over' in the 1st Half and 'under' for the game and win both potentially. In some cases, teams are more prone to start slowly in the opening half and score more points after halftime, so keep that in mind when making 1st Half wagers.

In several team sports, matches are played in two halves. Half-time (also written halftime or half time) is the name given to the interval between the two halves of the match. Typically, after half-time teams swap ends of the field of play, in order to reduce any advantage that may be gained from wind or a slope to the playing surface, for example.

While it exists mainly to allow competitors to rest briefly and recover from the play of the first half, half-time also serves a number of other purposes. It also serves as an intermission for spectators, and it often features entertainment, such as cheerleading performances, tifos, performances by school marching bands (particularly in high school and collegiate sports in North America), or concerts featuring popular music acts (particularly in major events, such as the Super Bowl). On games that are broadcast on television and radio, it also provides broadcasters with an opportunity to give a recap of the first half of the game, air highlights of other games in progress, air commercials and other advertisements, provide analysis on the game, or air game-related festivities (such as an aforementioned half-time performance). In the NFL (National Football League), halftime is usually around 12 minutes, although for major events like the Super Bowl it may last much longer to allow for more activities like musical performances.

History[edit]

Half Football Cake

The origin of changing ends at half-time lies in the early English public school football games. One early use of a fixed half-time, and it is suggested^{[by whom?]} the origin of the practice, was to allow for two football teams each used to a different set of rules to play half of the game by familiar rules, and half by the opposition rules. This was practised notably between followers of Eton-rules football (closer to modern association football) and Rugby-rules football (closer to modern rugby Rugby union). This use of half-time was unnecessary after the standardisation of football rules in 1863 (see Laws of the Game) but is still used for the now-rare contests between teams playing different codes of football. Changing ends at half-time (if no goals had been scored) was part of the following schools' codes: Brighton, Eton, Rossall, Sheffield, and Winchester. Other schools changed every time that side scored (Cheltenham, FA, Harrow, Marlborough, Rugby, Shrewsbury, Uppingham schools)^[1] The 1863 Cambridge Rules state: 'In a match when half the time agreed upon has elapsed, the side shall change goals when the ball is next out of play'.

Overview[edit]

One benefit of half-time in a field game is to allow teams to swap their positions on the field in order that the effects of the natural conditions such as sunlight and wind direction are experienced fairly by both teams. In some sports this is achieved without the need for half-time: for example, in cricket fielding positions of players are rotated after a set passage of play. In other sports no such provision is necessary, for example in baseball, where playing positions do not change and both teams occupy the same locations on the field of play, though there is frequent rotation of players in the ordinary course of play.

Half-time for spectators offers the opportunity to visit the toilet, get some food or drink, or just exercise crampedlimbs, without the fear of missing any of the action. A half-time show may be put on for the spectators to keep their attention, most famously in the case of the American footballSuper Bowl. As many spectators at the ground may be otherwise occupied using stadium facilities it might be inferred that the scale and spectacle of half-time entertainment is more directly related to the size of the potential television audience.

In many sports that are televised, half-time offers the opportunity to advertise, a valuable source of revenue for televisioncompanies. In addition, it allows analysis of the game so far by pundits; controversial incidents or exceptional play may be highlighted at this time. It also allows viewers to catch up with any action that they may have missed. Half-time has spawned one of the most enduring clichés to describe football: that 'it's a game of two halves.'^[2]

(other than to allow movement of players in the natural course of play and/or TV commercials)

• Baseball (although there is a seventh-inning stretch)
