    nba cancels indiana boston game

    my season long future with my local clearly states that for my mavs team total to be official all 82 games must be played, so im guessing its the same scenario if you have a bet on either of these sides.

    obviously very tragic circumstances, i cant remember a nba game being cancelled and theres no time to make it up and no real point to either as both teams are stuck in their playoff spots.

    You're probably right but if the total was already decided it would be pretty messed up not to honor the bet

    im guessing this is across the board at all books, i confess i never really paid attention since nba games dont get cancelled ever (postponed rarely), i know that mlb has to play 160 but games are cancelled in that all the time.

    Hopefully they'll make an example of the POS that committed this vile act. RIP's and condolences go out to Boston.

    there were multiple bombings. some of them failed to go off (smart move by boston to shut off cell phone towers to prevent remote detonation). but 2 other bombs went off. at least 3 dead, 130 injured. This was despicable act of terror that killed and injured pople at a charity event. Of all places to commit terrorism, a charity event that raises millions of dollars for childrens hospitals, etc. is probably one of the worst places you could do something like this. my prayers to everyone affected. Both boston games were rightfully cancelled. who knew if other bombs were placed elsewhere ready to go off. 2 went off, others failed to go off. Until you have SWAT sweep the whole city and mass transit system, sports should be cancelled. Not worth risking tons of lives if there were other bombs placed. nobody had cell service... people panicking... My hearts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy. hopefully we can stop acts of terrorism like this, and keep our great land safe.

    God Bless the victims, and God Bless America.

    interesting fact, this is the first time in nba history that every team will not play the same amount of games during the regular season, so they have never cancelled a game before this one.

    this is truly a bad beat dit and yes boston over backers r extremely fortunate.

    id say this is really stupid the books didnt leave any room for error (like say 81 games must be played) but this has never happened in the history of the league.

    I don't see why the rule can't read that it's only canceled if the bet isn't already decided by the games played. In other words, if the last 1 (or 2 or 5 or whatever) games could effect the O/U winner (even if remote chance) then everything is pushed. But if you have Under 50 and the team can't reach it ot is already over, then just use common sense and grade it.
