    Sportsbooks should void your Under bets if game goes OT! (in NBA)


    I'm sure you know how it feels. Your pick is Under and last 40 seconds.. You're cheering for winning your Under bet, only few seconds to go, score is 85-80 and line is 185..and guess what? Game is tied 85-85 and your Under bet is dead.

    C'mon, It's not fair. I remember a sportbook that refunds your Under bet (Basketball only) if games OT. If your bet is Over, bet is not voided. It was Sportsbook.com or sportsbetting.com? I can't remember..

    I wish all A+ books were offering Basketball Under bets this way..

    PS: I don't have any complaints with OT in hockey, baseball, football since OT doesn't have a dramatic effect on your bets like basketball.

        OT doesn't have a dramatic effect like basketball in other sports. In hockey, only 1 goal awarded to winner. In football, usually they don't score lots of points in OT. There's a difference between football, hockey and basketball when it comes to OT!

              It would be harder to fix totals if OT rules where different. No one will suspect both coaches bet the over of the game by agreeing to send it to OT before it starts.
