No 8th drive was a 3 and out for seattle. http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/drivec...meId=321104026

They did gain 14 yards but they were first backed up by a 5 yard penalty. (drive 8 started at 11:46 on the game clock) http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/playby...04026&period=2

I don't know the answer. Dude if you are betting on individual drives you should know all the rules. Lol

I got hammered by a similar deal 3 weeks ago on calling the Arkansas/ Kentucky game. Was up 49-7 late in the 3rd.

No, there was no first down on that drive. So yes you should have won. You should give them a call.

thanks, email sent. let see what is the answer from they,

[davidchong]

Done, book regrade the bet.

[Double Bogey]

1st down on the penalty

[tto827]

1st down on the penalty

Good point sort of... I thought it was an offensive penalty, ESPN is wrong this should be looked at cause it should have been first and 5. I have no idea, but if the book regraded, then it probably was no first down. I am guessing after the 5 yard penalty, he ran for two yards not 7, so 2nd and 3 was correct.

Based on this, the offense was awarded an automatic 1st down on the penalty. Otherwise it would have been 1st and 5. Then the 7 yard run would have been a 1st down anyway, so there was definitely a 1st down on that drive either way

Ya, you are right, illegal contact IS an automatic first down, this should have been a loss, unless there rules state something about it not being earned on a penalty, which I highly doubt.

davidchong.....you must make 50 bets on a typical Sunday!

[Monitor-Tan]

Bet says MAKE first down.

That's a penalty resulting in a 1st down, but since it's a penalty, it's considered a no play, so they didn't MAKE the first down on that drive..

It can go either way but that would be my defense

[Double Bogey]

It counts as a made 1st down in official NFL stats. 1st down by penalty

[ProfaneReality]

I would say a first down was made. Pretty clear.

[4TH AND STUPID]

how the hell did your book regrade that bet.


that was clearly ILLEGAL CONTACT, 5 YARD PENALTY AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN.


thus there was in fact a first down. no argument. no controversy. you lost the bet

Absolutely correct the OP lost. But I won't tell anyone.

Semantics. Since a first down by penalty counts as a first down in the stats, it is essentially a "made" first down.
