A year later, same question.... % of football numbers

[Sharpie]

Trendsetter posted up some numbers in the other post of how often certain numbers happen in football.
But being from 1983 the numbers seem extremely outdated, (especially after the advent of the 2 point conversion).
does anyone have up-to-date numbers and figures for at the half????
Thank you

Sharpie, I suggest you contact Gambler's Book Club in Vegas. They carry various books that may have the stats you're interested in. I can tell you for a fact that they carry at least two books that contain the type of info that you are after:
"Sports Book Mangagement" by Michael Roxborough, which has a NFL margins of victory chart for the 1992-1996 seasons; and "The Half Book 1999," which is chock-full of historical stats regarding NFL half-times.

Reno, just so happens I just received, from the Gamblers Book Club,"The Complete Guide to Football Betting" by Jim Feist and Kelso Sturgeion. The first thing I opened to was "A look at key numbers" (page 183 -186). This is from a study from 1993 through 1996.
