Scoring Time for a Field Goal

[xyz]

When a football team scores a field goal, how is the time of the score determined? Is it when the ball goes over the cross bar, or when the ball hits the net, or whenever the ref blows the whistle? I had some money on the Monday Night Football (Dolphins vs Jets) for the prop on scoring within the first 7.5 minutes, and missed it by 2 seconds. The play started with 7:33 on the clock, and it didn't look like it would take a whole 5 seconds for the field goal to complete. I suppose when you bet enough of this, you are going to run into near misses like this. Just keep betting when it is +EV. I had it for -120, and thought it was +EV. What do you think? Thanks.

Great tricky question.
I would think when the ref blows the whistle as to good or missed kick that's the time.
I say this because all minutes must add up to a full game, and the game time for the ensuing kickoff (following made FG) or possession change (following a miss) should be either the time the whistle blew or 1 sec later if at the end of a quarter.
This is my best guess.
How's it sound?

I never make these prop bets....but I do watch the clock at times when I have totals. Sometimes the clock runs an extra 3 or 4 seconds after the whistle blows for a stoppage, which Im sure has screwed over many a people in these time related prop bets.

The text alert that I had for the game showed it at 7:28 left in the 1st. I wasn't watching it live, but I assume its when the ref blows the whistle, since he has the official game clock

Verily, sounds like you got the big screw job, chap!

Does the site have a rule, explaining how it grades it?

Also, I think NFL.com gives official scoring times... They might use that, regardless of when the score actually occurred.

Yep that was bull... I also lost due to this.

This site uses NFL.com for grading, and it was graded as a loss.

I don't think books really know or care when the clock is used for scoring time, they just use data from same official source, in this case, perhaps NFL.com. So if the official source says your bet should win, you have a case.

I love how near the end of games the refs are clock nazi's, especially in hockey and basketball "please add .3 milliseconds to game clock when I didnt give a **** if you ran it 4 seconds long for the last 58 minutes".

7.5 minutes is 7 minutes and 30 seconds?

For a game I though was going to be low scoring any ways .. I skipped this prop. The better prop that I ended up taking was No 1 Yard TD -110 offered by 5 dimes.
