First BI now this. I have had it with offshores. Manager "Chris" won't even get on chat to talk about it. -
So five dimes is saying that three point shot came under ten minutes?Last edited by rcene; 01-08-13, 11:39 PM.Comment -
Check that, you won the bet.Comment -
Cbs sports has the three point fg good at 10:06.Comment -
Submit a complaint, I didn't see it myself but ESPN and CBS are most likely right. Some dumbass graded it as a loss, and Chris is too lazy to look into it.Comment -
Espn 3 just put the replay link up for the Pitt and Georgetown game. I will watch it myself.
Here is the link...http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index/_...y/days/days-0/Comment -
It is real close. He shot the ball at 10:01, and it looked like it went thru the net at 10:00.Comment -
If you watch the replay the action you need to look at is at the 1:35:55 mark.Comment -
The camera angle from the baseline shows Whittington shoot it at 10:01, and the ball is thru the hoop at 10:00, but not thru the net until 9:59.Comment -
Again its very close, and hard to believe that it came down to that kind of play!Comment -

I have another thread about this wager. I lost my wager as well.
From video proof you can see the ball still in the net at 9:59. It did not clear the net till after 9:59. So the loss is legit and graded correctly IMO. The video is there for proof.
Now acording to the actual game clock I believe I did in fact win. The game clock was at 10:05. However these wagers are based solely on the time on TV for betting and grading purposes. Hard loss but a loss. At least we both have a story out of it.Comment -
Decided to check the play by play on the ncaa website and they have it at exactly the 10min mark. Since its hard to see from the image, here's the link http://www.ncaa.com/game/basketball-...rgh-georgetown click play by play then 2nd half and check it outLast edited by cutter2225; 01-09-13, 12:31 AM.Comment -
This has happened with these sort of timed prop bets before. I would suggest never playing these kind of props as it is too easy to dispute the exact timing.Last edited by RonPaul2008; 01-10-13, 03:42 AM.Comment -
As long as they're consistent it's fine; if there was another case where they went by the boxscore or game clock and not the TV clock then there would be an issue.Comment -
I agree. But I am surprised they wrote a rule that requires much more work to grade the prop. They should simply name an official site, consistent with most of other grading rules, so that there is much less chance for dispute or headache to arise. Even with current rule, I think it is better to be consistent with shot clock rule that the shot counts as long as ball leaves hand before time expiration, not the one that going through the net, which is much harder to judge.Comment -
Books have tried using official sites for these but the guys inputting the info are all over the place when it comes down to the seconds.
A few months ago there was a dispute where the player won based on the same ball through the hoop freeze frame. These threads are good to keep players confident it will be graded the same way if they are on the other side.Comment -
Yes, but they just need to use ONE official site, like ncaa.com for college basket, nfl.com for NFL etc., then whether all other sites are in sync or not will not be an issue.Comment -
There is no perfect solution. But the chance of that specific sport's official site is wrong is much less than chance of dispute occurring with current rule. I am sure 5D does not really care whether ball goes in before 10 minute mark or not for one particular game, they just want to grade it consistently. Using one official site is the best approach, IMO, because it is less work, and easily verifiable by public without any confusion.Comment -
no offense but why bet the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half of a game?Comment -
It would seem to me if you can't tell at worst it should be a push. Do the points count when shot, when in the hoop, when through the net? Seems to me it has to be when shot because what do you do with a buzzer beater? It can't be at 20 minutes and 3 seconds.Comment -
I still wonder how CBS is reflecting a 5 second margin for the 3 pointer throw which was actually shot by the player to the basket only @ 10.01... WeirdComment -
Its not easy to dispute the exact timing cause they only do it on nationally televised games, so there is a television feed for every game this bet is placed on. There's no ands, ifs or buts.. if the ball is through the net by 10:00, it counts.. if not, it doesn't. Pretty simple IMO.Comment -
Im not saying youre outright wrong, but there is def room for dispute. i just watched the replay out of curiousty and it could be argued it didnt fully go through hoop until 9:59. Either way , its way to close to call. I can certainly understand your frustration being that its marked as going in at or before the 10 minute mark on all the major sites, so you have that in your corner. but when actually watching the replay it could easily be argued it wasnt an official hoop until 9:59. Good luck manComment
so I'll watch the thread for the verdict.
