now dont get me wrong, the overall game in my mind wasnt, both teams weere playing to wina dn do what they do however something very fishy happened and i am wondering if others felt the same thing. I took L tech over 13.5 total points and i think a lot of others did too. When Ltech scored their 2nd TD, the kicker missed the extra point. Way to coincidental because that point was the difference between a win and loss and if i didnt get that garbage t0ouchdown at the end i would have lost the bet due to that missed extra point, what does everyone think

Let me get this straight:
You are citing the possibility of a fixed match even though you won your wager anyways?
SBR needs to put up a thumbs down icon to nominate the most ridiculous posts of the day. This one would certainly qualify.Comment -
no i am saying that what if someone got to the kicker to help them make sure the under hit, obv no one expected this team to get 3 td's so they were bankjing on the idea that the missed extra point could have sealed the dealComment -
There are a lot of college kickers that sux. Most schools (even major ones) don't have coaches specifically for kicking. It's tough to evaluate kickers in High School because they don't get many opportunities.
You can't pin any conspiracy theory on College Kickers, period.Comment -
i hear u, most likely ur right, it was just way too f'in coincidentalComment -
Its not like La. Tech didn't have 2 or 3 more chances to score and blew it on 4th and Goal. Face it, Boise didn't *let* La. Tech score a garbage-time touchdown, they just couldn't prevent them from doing so.
Boise's national title hunt is over.Comment -
i am jsut thankful i pulled that out cause if i lose due to a missed extra point, i would be on the next plane to louisianaComment -
Same could be said for Boise's 1st quarter 30 yard FG miss...if he hits that FG the 1/2 time spread is 24 instead of 21 when the books halftime line was 21.5 or 22
Spit happens ... books are sharpComment -
no, missed field goals happen, missed extra points to move from 13 to 14 on a 13.5 spread do not happenComment -
could have been you win some lose someComment -
That is a very moronic statement, especially since they scored at the end, its college football, extra point are not automaticComment -
thanks broComment -
You wouldn't be on the next plane to Louisiana because you wouldn't have any money.Comment -
ha, true, i will driveComment -
All the lines were really accurate in that game. Nearly every bet came down to a play or two.
Good job pulling out that win.Comment -
Are you being serious? How can you be a competent bettor if you really think that?
Boise gave up a TD with under a minute to go when their 2nd string was in and they were already up 36 pts...
Is Auburn's shot at the title over too? They gave up over 300 yards passing and only won by 26 over Arkansas St this year... and that was before the almighty wear and tear of the SEC schedule took over... Or what about Auburn needing a missed FG from Clemson to win or when they had to kick a last second FG at Kentucky to avoid OT?
Michigan St was down to NW 17-0 last week and earlier had to use a fake FG to beat Notre Dame... the same Notre Dame that Navy used to wipe their butt with last week...
Heck lets talk about MIzzou and them needing a very late long TD pass to beat SDSU at home...
Shoot even Oregon struggled to beat Arizona St while being outgained 597 to 403.. The same ASU team that will likely not make a bowl game this year and sits at 1-3 in the PAC 10
So... just to reiterate your statement... you are saying Boise is out because they won by only 26 pts over La Tech who had just won 2 straight games over teams many expected them to lose to? And that is TAKING BOISE OUT OF THE NATIONAL TITLE HUNT?
Some people are just not bright... The fact of the matter is there are no teams without flaws this year with a possible exception to TCU whom have given up all of 1 TD in the last 4 games combined....Comment -
Boise St has covered every game before last night's with the exception of the Oregon State game.... Now they missed the cover by 8 plus points at home against LA Tech. I have betted Boise St every game this year with those crazy high lines and no problem... So I pose the following questions; Did the books set it that high knowing something and now turning pro Boise bettors against them? Could it make us worried about betting them now when laying 20 plus points? and could that set a precedent for lower lines (compared to what they have been) and then we start betting against them and they cover?
Comment -
boise played a team that wasn't complete crap and the didn't cover 38 points... now people are shocked.
Boise just isn't that good, if they played in the SEC they would have a losing record.Comment -
listen, boise would not have a losing record, they are a good team and they did smack around oregon st who is a good team. Louisiana tech is a good team and they have played tough this year, they are not a complete cupcake. Boise blew them out last night but everyone thinks they should cover every spread, 38 points is a shitload of points to cover and it doesnt take away the type of the team they are. they will go undefeated tis yr after beating tough teams like hawaii and nevada and then they will show just how good they are when they play in a bcs gameComment -
Have you not gotten them memo yet... The SEC is way way down this year.... I must have gotten it early since I live in SEC country...
Auburn is a one man show with a suspect D and should have lost to Clemson and Kentucky...
Alabama has a below average QB but still is likely they best team in the league... but not by an overwhelming margin
Florida is putrid on offense
Tennessee is a laughing stock Oregon could have hung 70 on...
Georgia lost to Colorado... yeah... Colorado...
Vandy got beat by UConn by over 2 TDS... yikes
LSU.. the same team that should have lost to Tennessee and is coached by the biggest gambling moron out there... not to mention the fact that they have no QB worth 2 spits on the roster..
Ole Miss lost to Jacksonville St... the same Jacksonville St that needed OT to beat our new local Atlanta team Georgia State in its very first year of existence..
South Carolina had all the hype in the world after the Bama win then went on the road and laid an egg to Kentucky... that sure is the mark of a TOP team...
I am normally right there with you guys in blowing the SEC horn but the fact is..this year they are not the power conference in the country...Comment -
The kid converted 42 of 43 PAT attempts last year. This will probably the only one he misses this year.
He looks like a pretty tough guy though.
Comment -
exactly dad, this was way too coincidental, this kicker they have is very good and that kick didnt hook, it was a direct kick wide, very shady, these idiots dont get that if there was some sort of fix and they got the kicker involved, that they were assuming this team would never score 3 td's and if theyw ere to score 2 tds then the kicker would be the person to secure the under. much easier to convince one guy then more than 1 and u will not convince the rb or qb since they want to put up the best game possible to help their stats so the kicker going nowhere can be a good target. L tech completed a 4th down pass and if they did not this kick would ahve screwed the over, to my questionable factors in play with this spread, but thankfully i got a bullshit td in the final seconds and this was not an issueComment -
He looks like an Eagle Scout to me.Comment -
The one thing I dislike about betting is no matter the bet or the side, there always has to be some grand conspiracy as to why X happened and Y didn't.
Shit happens, and it doesn't always involve Vegas. Just because it affects you...or in this case it didn't but it "could have" doesn't mean a thing. Why was the XP missed mean a fix was in but La Tech going for it twice on 4th when they had FG opps in the 3rd wasn't? Or back to back turnovers? Or fumbling to give Boise the ball with 1.5 to cover?
Even worse...if you think this shit might be fixed, why are you risking your money on it? That's an even dumber idea than thinking a missed XP was totally on purpose.Comment -
you see a lot of teams College, Nfl etc. will ease up when the game
is in the bag within the last 2 minutes, I watched the game and I did not
see any big effort to stop the LT touchdown drive, count your blessing
that you won and don't second guess what happened, these are very
negative thoughts and will damage your Bets on teams in the future
Comment -
The reality is you could probably find something like this in almost every game depending on what side you took. I actually thought Boise's players in particular Titus Young and Pettis looked very slow in their routes and dropped several easy passes. If someone was tossing that game it was Boise. I don't truly believe that but again you can create conspiracy in almost any game. Need I mention, the Bears, San Diego, Idaho, etc. over the weekend. And no its not uncommon for kickers in college to miss extra points. Team totals are also not widespread enough and usually have low limits. Nobody would manipulate those bets.Comment -
Think about it why would they just fix a 2nd half team O/U. How much money do you think is on this wager compared to say the game O/U or point spread. If they were going to pay someone to fix a spread it would be where there is a lot more money on it . LOLComment -
Its a FIXED system ...we play everyday just deal with it and hope that you are on the right side of the fix ...

I laughed when i read this. My exact thoughts then I saw your post
