1.Never camp in a low lying area. Look for a durable surface which will allow water to run off more effectively. 2.Look for a campsite this is somewhat protected from wind, flooding and heavy rain fall. Under a group of small trees is ideal. Keep away from tallest tree in forest – that’s where lightning likes to visit. 3.Place a mat outside tent door to collect debris. If you are base camping, weight of mat is not worth benefit – so use rocks instead. 4.Do not touch walls of your tent when it is wet. This will adversely affect water resistant capability of tent. That is – you can create a leak. 5.Use a tarp under your tent. You should do this regardless of weather, but when it’s raining it becomes important. 6.Sleep. There’s nothing better than sleeping in a tent when rain falls. 7.Check forecast every hour. If storm is worsening, you need to know about it. Do you have extra batteries for your weather radio? 8.Never hold a fishing pole during a lightning storm. 9.Emergency flares are excellent for igniting wet firewood. 10.Body heat is a precious element. Conserve and protect your body by keeping it dry on outside and wet on inside. Drinking water becomes very important when body heat is being lost. Change into dry socks, get into your dry sleeping bag. 11.Keep an eye on your tent, tent’s rain fly and ropes/stakes holding your tent in place. Standing water and high winds are enemy of your tent.

In course of setting full game odds, bookmakers will frequently peek at what one another are offering. Many will base their odds on what their neighbor is doing and go from there.

During halftime there is little opportunity for them to consult with others. Out of five sportsbooks at least one book’s opinion will likely drastically differ from rest. This line will adjust quickly as people bet into it, but this initial soft line offers occasional shot at an extra two points you may not see offered again during intermission.

The Half-Time Line Advantage Hypothetically, let us say you wanted to play over on a NBA total that was set at 190. You were able to follow line movement and earn a valuable 3 points towards your bet. From time to time, these big line moves do happen, and they also happen to 2nd half odds. Even though you are wagering on half of event, that doesn’t necessarily mean you will get half of line movement. Getting 3 points from that 190 is a great find, but getting 3 points on 2nd half over/under total of 95 provides an even better advantage. It is a larger percentage of line you are trying to beat. Think of this advantage as a head start in a race. A 20-foot head start would be much more effective in a sprint than in a marathon.

A Level Playing Field I have heard gamblers say that they do not like this quick betting style because it does not offer adequate time to crunch numbers and trends. My response is that bookies have already utilized much of information you are weighing into your normal capping.

At a game’s intermission, player may gain knowledge edge. Linesmen are often forced to offer odds on many mid-game events at same time. It would be impossible for them to follow every individual game as closely as one you are watching, and a week’s worth of inside information no longer comes into play. This line is largely based on what happened in first 24 minutes.

Your Best Bet The fast pace of halftime wagering is not for everyone. If you don’t enjoy getting numbers dumped on you all at once in order to get more for your buck then you may want to spend 2nd half on bench. If you want ability to follow life of a line, take advantage of more unique or soft numbers, apply your effort to a smaller contest and know as much as or more than your bookmaker, then 2nd half may be your best bet!
