    Need help on a 2h wager dispute with my book

    I placed a wager on suns -2 for the second half.The second half ended with a core of 52-52 and the book counted it as a loss.Now i am on the phone with them telling them it should have been a push since the game ended in a tie and the lady is saying they had to win by 2 no matter what the score ended in.Am i wrong thinking it should be a push or are they right ?

    you're wrong bro....they were -2 for the 2nd half, meaning they had to win by 2 or more points for them to win.

    Right. If it were 54-52, you would push. Hence -2. You would have had to win by 3 to actually win.

    you fukin idiots
    2nd half line meant that the suns had to outscore the nets by 2 for a push or by 3 for a win only in the second half
    PHX= 17 27 8= 52
    NEW= 15 30 7=52
    u lost

    Sportman is right. You made a 2nd half bet of -2, so Suns had to beat the Nets by 3 in the 2nd half for you to win. They tied the second half (+OT), so you lost.... Suns were up 1 at halftime, and ended up winning by 1.
