Even though now it's like 240, 250 because the NBA is so high scoring.
But back then it was around 200.
Then they'll usually think, well, the first half is generally higher scoring, so maybe we'll make the first half for most teams, average team 101 or 102, the second half 98.
Then some teams will be really, really high scoring in the first half and they'd make it higher.
But they'd rarely go lower until the end of the year.
They would see, okay, these teams, they would start to figure out these teams are getting bet under, under, under.
Then they would do some basic database work maybe.
But it was not enough.
I even remember in 2005 getting frustrated because the lines had adjusted.
So the Utah Jazz number on a 200, let's say, away was like, what, open 98.5 in the first half on a line of 200.
And that was irritating me.
But then I did the math and I was like, well, the right line should be 88.5.
you still have a massive edge.
Nobody had a clue how big of, yeah, nobody had a clue.
Well, the perfect, yeah, the perfect example to this is in college, every team plays defense in front of the bench in the first half, in college basketball.
I believe it was when I last was betting, whenever that was.
So that's why college games are so low scoring in the first half and so high scoring in the second half.
Everyone assumes the reason why they're so high scoring in the second half is because of fouling, which definitely is a factor.
But it's not the factor.
The factor most I can assure you is bench defense orientation.
