I'm ******* retarded. Had them in a 2H parlay and the other team covered. Why the **** did I bet it knowing the two leading scorers were out?Comment -

Took Kansas State at -3, but bought out of it in the 2nd Half and didn't lose the juice either since UNLV was at +100.
I didn't realize that their 2 best players were out beforehand otherwise I wouldn't have pulled the trigger. Martin must be in cahoots w/ the books.

This. I researched this game thoroughly yesterday and really liked it. But, quite literally, they had Vitale (and his sidekick) read the press release like 10-15 minutes before the tipoff. The head coach and AD had this information when they got back Saturday night from Florida (according to the announcers last night) but didn't say a damn thing until right before tipoff... quite literally, about 5-10 minutes after I called my bet in. Lovely.Originally posted by saints7011
With them, Austin Peay laying 2 and winning by 1, and Northwestern just not showing up after the first 15 minutes.. 0-3. Great night.

This is bullshit. All bets made prior to this announcement should have been voided. This is like 15 min before the game when the announcement was made.Comment -
yes

Eh, suck it up guys. You can't have basketball or football bets contingent on starting lineups.Comment -
Really? I'm hoping you've said this tongue planted firmly in cheek. I guess I'm not saying they're contingent on them but you cap the game based on rosters, returning players, starters, etc.Originally posted by Willie Bee
One team loses its best player and a second starter and the spread was less than 4 with them there... gonna change quite a bit of betting for sure.Comment -

Sure, if it was known well in advance, the spread would be different. If I had known there was even a 20% chance that Pullen wouldn't play, I'd have never bet it.Originally posted by Vol_Bengal
But Pavy, let's say a book puts out a line based on the Wildcats starting the following players: Pullen, McGruder, Kelly, Samuels and Spradling. The line is -4. You bet them on that line. Frank Martin decides at the last minute to use Irving in place of Spradling. K-State wins, 76-71. Are you seriously telling me that you're going to be happy with the book canceling your bet?Comment -
I really expected a much higher scoring game last night than what it was.Comment -
OK Willie here is the scenario for NFL. Lets say 15 min before kickoff during warm ups 40% of the starters of the Baltimore Ravens are hit by lightning when facing the Pittsburgh Steelers. You have Ravens -3 to win the game. So the game starts and Flacco, Boldin, Ray Rice and Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and Ed Reed are not playing. Would you like the book to void both bets for both teams and offer new lines?Comment -
You've done a great job avoiding my question by simply posing a rather outlandish scenario of your own. My guess is the book would indeed void the bet because the game would never have started. If lightning struck the stadium area -- I'm assuming the players would have been at the stadium 15 mins before kickoff -- then I have to assume the NFL would have canceled the game out of safety concerns for the rest of the players and fans.
If you can get a book to start setting wagers dependent on a basketball or football starting lineup, then more power to you Pavy. But yesterday, you made your wager based on 'action' and have no recourse for the outcome of the game now. Maybe stay away from hoops and foots until books see things your way.Comment -
Willie it was a lone lightning strike that came out of the blue. It didn't endanger any other players or fans. After the players went to the hospital the NFL decided since the weather was perfect and the fans were not endangered the game should proceed with the remaining players on roster. Will you like your bet to be voided? Because suspending 2 players out of the 5 starters 15 min before kickoff is the same as a lone lightning striking some players in the warmups. An unexpected event that cannot be predicted by the bettors. There is one thing the coach deciding not to start 2 players because of strategy or because of disciplinary reasons. I have seen starters being held off from first half and play in second halfs. But suspending 2 starters 15 minutes before game starts is unheard off.Comment -
I prefer Kansas -11
