The dog in overtime

[pro analyser]

How would you like to have clevland +13 go to overtime and lose.

 

[ouch]

The flip side is having the Suns -12.5......giving up on the game thinking you are absolutely dead.....and checking back later to find you've won.

It's a gift from God.

If you gamble long enough, you have been on both sides of the equation.

Sorry for your loss.

That game and the Dodgers/Cubs G2 going Under 6.......we will see them Monday on SVP Bad Beats

The "runner on second" rule makes it tough for under bettors.

When a player can hit a leadoff two-run home run, you know the game has been tweaked significantly.

I think a "runner on first" rule would have been better than placing a runner on second to begin extra innings.

if you can put a runner on second to start extra innings, you could implement my original idea, all foul balls are strikes after 9 innings.

i agree... to win a bettor needs a strikeout relief pitcher to win....along with hitters that whiff....going against contact hitters you will lose in xtra inn,. a fly ball pitcher loses.

Dogs in OT can only lose

You already had the game won

Pretty much. The longer it goes, the less likely they will hang.

Advantage: Bookmaker.

Nothing better for the house than to pay an undeserving winner.

The house will lock up that money at some point in the near future.

Bad beats in sports are similar to bad beats in poker.

Suffering multiple bad beats is a telltale sign of consistently having the best of it.
