Bengals at KC - Halftime tie discussion

I have attached 2 different parlays. Both have the game tied at half and then one team winning one parlay and the other winning the other parlay. This way I don't care who wins. No playoff games this year so far have been tied at halftime.
The halftime odds I have are Bengals +1/2 at -125 and KC -1/2 at +105.
It seems that in a game that is basically a pick-em game, that a halftime tie wouldn't be a total surprise. If that's the case then why not take a flier, bet both teams to win and just pray for a tie at half for a win? I can't bet a halftime tie straight up and must parlay it with something so I just chose a side each way. At +1500 and +1600 it seems like a way to make a lot of money without a huge outlay of cash and all I need is a tie at half.
I am interested in the discussion. Since there have been no half time ties yet in the playoffs, maybe we are due. I did check and there were 3 halftime ties in the last week of the regular season but that's all the research I did.

I use to bet these quite often. I think both games play well for this type bet.
Maybe Phily SF more as their Defenses are solid

I always saw you place bets like that in baseball but never see them offered at my place. I was just shocked that the odds were so high for a halftime tie. Like you say, both games set up well. I am gonna have a fair amount on both games. If the score in either game is tied just smile because I will be happy...

I just checed and if anyone wants to go all in, I have attached the parlay for both games to be halftime draws...
It seems that at +9000 they will only allow very small wagers. I put in $10 just to see what it looked like but I guess $10 is too rich for my book...😂

If The Niners Don ' t Turn " Purdy " Loose Then I Don ' t Believe They Have A Chance I Believe They Will & McCaffrey Is The Difference Maker

Yes it was. Oh well...Feel bad for SF bettors because Johnson is acting like a 4th stringer on the road. Hoping for my Kittle bet to come through

I make this bet every Super Bow...good luck in game two. If this one follows the script of previous KC/Cinn games, it will be KC 1h and Cincinnati winning the game.

Let's hope for a tie at half in the next game. I also made a crazy wager for a halftime tie and an overtime. That first game could make a guy give up gambling. I did win the under and a prop on Purdy under 212 yards so it wasn't a total loss but...yuck.
Most of my half time tie wagers we're on the KC game so hope springs eternal I guess...
