    I've never been screwed more on an over/under than the ending of this frigging game.

    Yeah what a ridiculous ending...Grizz inbound to run out the clock, but a turnover results in a technical, flagrant foul, and another basket, all within 3 seconds.

    Literally the ONLY sequence of events that could've pushed the total over in 3 seconds and guess what, exactly what happens

    All started with Z-Bo taking that 3. Right away I felt something dodgy was on.

    I had the OV, I was assuming I was fukked. UND backers definitely got screwed in terms of that last sequence. Normally any player will just dribble it out or chuck up a long shot. It's very rare you see a player drive the lane and lay it in for no reason at all.

    I'm happy I was on the right side. I'm sad that a lot of guys got screwed that had the right play.

    But that's the business. You make a play-- sometimes you win, sometimes you get screwed over unbelievable circumstances.

    It's always better to be lucky than good.

    Tonight under backers were good, but they weren't lucky.

    I get unlucky plenty of times. Good to be on the lucky side for once.

    I had under also. Reading this thread let me know that I had the right mindset, just shady shit is impossible to handicap.

    Yep, at least nearly impossible. NBA is shady... and tough. At least it's almost 8 months long to bet on

    I agree with everyone here I think Randy Foy was just padding his stats.. had utah at +5 so it didn't affect me but the Jazz being dominated and the grizz forcing turn overs did.

    I didn't have money on this game, but I definitely agree with you on this one. I'm almost scared to bet on a Grizz game for a win because of this fact. And I live in Memphis.

    Is this worse than having Brooklyn team total over 101 and having 86 by the end of the third quarter and the fukks only scoring 10 points in the fourth? If so not by much...

    I had the over but this was BS. Memphis turned it over but it was a scumbag play by Foye. Memphis was going to dribble the clock out and Foye snuck up behind the player stole the ball and went in for layup attempt.

    Usually teams just let them dribble out the clock but Foye was lurking in the back court and snuck up and stole the ball. I hit my bet but that was a scumbag play

    Had a strong lean on the under but decided to lay off. I was kicking myself when I checked the score in the third quarter for passing. Then I checked the score this morning and read the post-game report.

    It's a bad beat for under backers - and a lucky break for over backers. And I disagree that it's better to be lucky than good. In the long run, luck always turns but it's disciplined capping and money management that gives you the edge (no matter how small).
