Fukin joke point in CFL

[bettilimbroke999]

When are they going to do away with the joke point they give everytime a kicker kicks it through the end zone, wtf is up with that fukin joke. Is it just to make the game impossible to cap, I mean you are getting 3 1/2 pts, and are down 3 and your defense stops them so you are celebrating then they kick it through the endzone and you lose, what a fukin faggoty rule, CFL rulesmakers need to get off the crackpipe and do away with that crap

[treece]

Or rename the league the Crazy Football League.

[bettilimbroke999]

It's the stupidest rule in any game, I mean hell if it's a tie game and you kick it through the end zone you just won the game b/c of that BS rule, what a fukin comedian who came up with that shit. Can you imagine 17-17 with 2 secs left in the SuperBowl and the kicker goes wide on a field goal attempt and they give him the game 18-17 b/c the ball cleared the end zone I mean wtf are you kidding me???

[Brady2Moss]

so what, those are the rules and you knew that before you placed a wager. Stop being such a little pussy and man up.

[bettilimbroke999]

The post is saying this is an extremely stupid rule that should be eliminated immediately. Saying that since I knew the rule I shouldn't complain proves your retarded

[Brady2Moss]

Well usually someone doesnt make a thread about extra points in the CFL on a sports handicapping forum right after a game where such a thing happened just for shits and giggles...

And even if --- By some minute chance, you didnt wager anything and didnt get burned by such a rule, Why the hell would you even care?

[Dashwood Clipper]

The rouge has been in the CFL as long as I can remember. It has helped push games over for me, ruined my unders. Its no worse than the NFL overtime is. Tough break for you no doubt, but they wont be changing this rule anytime soon.

I never bet CFL, and I'm Charlie Sheen.

The rouge is far worse than NFL overtime (which is completely fair imo so not sure what point you are trying to make other than perhaps the coinflip to start possession), in fact it's the worst rule in all of professional sports. Think about it like if the game is tied you are kicking a FG into a 160 foot goalpost. I mean unless you just completely shank it there is no way you are going to miss. I did of course lose money b/c of this rule today, but that's fine I wouldnt bitch if I just didnt see the team get stopped at the 50 then kick it through the endzone to lose my bet by half a point. I mean really what are they thinking? Think of how this rule ruins games a team is up by 8 and gets stopped at their own 40, well instead of punting and having to hold the team from scoring a TD/2 pt conversion they simply blow it through the end zone and the other team might as well walk off the field, game over. How can you reward a team for getting no offense, what's a fukin ridiculous rule. The rouge has been talked about eliminating constantly in CFL but they never fukin do it, b/c they are fukin obsessed with being different than American football (e.g. 3 downs instead of 4, fukin joke point, if you pull out your dick out and jackoff on the field another point, etc.)

[armyoflovers]

If you won bc of the faggoty rule I am dead cetain you wouldnt be pouting.

Wah!!! Wah!!!! Pee in you diaper bubba. Respect the CFL, its one of the best football lgs in the world.

[bettilimbroke999]

Of course I wouldnt complain if I had won, who would. The rule would still be retarded but no one is going to argue that a win was unjustified even if it was. If you are betting on a baseball team and you're down a run with 2 outs and they call your man safe at home when he was clearly out are you going to bitch about what a terrible call that was, of course not you'll just feel very lucky. Meanwhile the guy that that play just cost 500 bucks will be bitchin to high heaven about how blind the ump is, MLB should have instant replay etc. etc.. But all that is besides the point, the rule is still retarded regardless of whether you win/lose. It's not up to the ppl who profited off a retarded rule/call to bitch about how bad it was, hell you could just give my team 10 runs b/c you appreciate their effort and I wouldn't bitch, but the guy who lost his bet on the other side would, does that make the 10 run gift fair? We got more barrelled in degens with no sense on this site than the average LA homeless shelter

[Brady2Moss]

NFL action is starting today. If you couldnt wait that long you must be a degenerate...

[durito]

other than perhaps the coinflip to start possession

The coin flip is far and away the most important factor in who wins in an NFL overtime game.

[Nicky Santoro]

what if you guys have mtl pick em for big big money and it's 17-17 with 2 secs to go and mtl kicks it out of end zone and you win 18-17.. i bet none of you will complain.. you will all say... man, i love the CFL.. CFL rules. this was fun betting it, i will bet it again.. long live the CFL.. that's exactly what all mtl bettors will be saying.

Of course I'm a fukin degenerate, you guys sure do state the obvious alot, I've got fukin 2400 posts on a degenerate gambling forum, speaks for itself

[fiveteamer]

seriously, who here isn't a ****ing degenerate?

lots of people here like to pretend they are frank rosenthal.

fact is, they are blowing bankroll after bankroll on WNBA, obscure soccer matches and online casinos.

we are all degenerates on some level.

[bettilimbroke999]

If you win the coinflip the other team still has a chance to stop you and prevent you getting in position to kick a FG, what chance do you have if it's tied and all they have to do is kick it through the endzone, I mean hell if the teams get it to their own 35 yd line which is just a half decent kickoff return then game over just line up the kick and try not to miss the field, what a fukin joke. You degens are on crack tonight saying I would say I love the CFL if I won in that circumstance, I would say what a gay dumbass rule, but I'll take it. No way even if I won would I justify that as a good tiebreak determination, I wouldn't turn down the cash mind you, but I still wouldn't support the rule b/c it makes no fukin sense, it's just giving them a point as a reward for getting stopped

[frostno98]

Arena is just as chaotic, with all of them unpredictable onside kick, making a favorable low scoring game go over at anytime. I don't see anything wrong with the CFL rule, it's only 1 point.

[crackerjack]

I'd have to agree with bettilimbroke999 on this one. Stupid rule...but it's yet another reason to stay away from CFL (unless it's televised of course).

[pavyracer]

Rule #1: Bet only the sports you know and understand the rules. Do not expect the sport to change the rules to accomodate your diminished capping skills.

Rule #2: Read Rule #1

[bettilimbroke999]

Arena football is a joke as well, agreed. But I disagree by saying it's "just a point", first off it's multiple points throughout the game, secondly it's not an NBA game where the total is going to be 120 to 130, it's low scoring football where most totals are around 50, thus your team is expected to only score around 25 in the game, throw in 5 "rogues" b/c the offense couldn't get across midfield and you've just altered the score by 20%. The real time to bitch however is when you are on the number such as I was with under 27 1/2 with 27 pts scored with a minute left and they get stopped on their own 40 (2 downs in CFL is a stop) and kick it through the end zone to make it 28 at halftime and turn a 200 win into a 220 loss, just fukin BS

Pavy the only handicap you got is a mental handicap, so keep your tips to yourself

Get a life son. You lost a bet. Why do we need to change the rules of a sport we love to accomadate your inability to pick winners?

hmmm....I am not so sure about this.

I think the data shows that only recently has this been the case....but there was a long period of time in which there was not a statistically significant relationship between winning the coin toss in OT and winning the game in OT.

There was a journal article about ths subject not too long ago in some math journal. I'll see if I can't find it somewhere.

[dmynn]

I think the rouge is designed to force a kick return off a missed field goal and keep the ball alive after said missed field goal. One of the things that make our game a little bit different. I like the rule as I've seen quite a few td's off missed field goals over the years. Also, you are less likely to try for a long field goal and go for it on third down because of the risk of a good return *edit - or punt it of course.

With regard to OP - yeah it sucks the play screwed your wager - but the rule won't ever change because it's one of those things that make Canadian football unique.

[BrentCrude]

So nobody here knows the 1 point score by it's real name?????It's called a rouge point.Sounds kind of faggy like an Avon product.hehe!

Dmynn,I saw your rouge point statement after I commented.You must be a Canuck if you call it by it's real name?So what Canadian city with a CFL team do you live near?I used to get CBC on cable being that I live near the border but satellite doesn't cover the CFL much.I'm not goinbg to pay extra to get Altitude which plays it.

[dmynn]

Brent Crude - I live between Toronto and Hamilton in a suburb. If you want CFL and are willing to break a few rules try FTA satellite and pick up xpressvu - google it for details if you are not familiar. That's how I get Dish network in Canada and almost the whole NFL card without Sunday Ticket. Cheers.

[dwaechte]

I like the rule. It places more importance on field position and gives a better representation of how teams have played. Field Goals in the NFL are basically a crapshoot, which makes the outcome of each game more luck based.

[bettilimbroke999]

Terrible rule, that is about as awful as Canada itself, would expect nothing less from a people whose favorite sport is skate golf

[durito]

If the pt had caused you to win your bet instead of lose, would it be the best rule ever?

[bettilimbroke999]

No, I would've returned the money, I wouldn't accept a win that's "tainted"
