TyDarius, that steeler game immediately came to mind...I was on the losing end of both...neither of those last scoring plays affected the outcome of the game and neither had enough evidence to overturn. The play on the court should of prevailed. I can guarantee either would of been overturned had there not been a score. What makes it worse for SA 2H backers is the refs took awhile to call the foul on kevin durant. They called it w/.8 when foul occured w/over a sec.

this was probably my worst loss in a loooong time. but im not too disappointed. it would seem fishy at first, but considering the circumstances, there was only .8 seconds remaining. sjax caught the ball and took a step back before releasing. the shot left his hand before the buzzer. but im assuming theyre saying the clock didnt start in time.
its murky situations like these where vegas steps in. because you can argue both ways it shouldve counted or it shouldnt have. public must have pounded the spurs 2nd half.
it is what it is....$10K swing.
instead if being up 6K i'm down 3K.
The game was lost when HArden hit that last 3.
Shoulda coulda woulda forced Thabo to be the hero instead.
The issue is the buzzer doesn't signal the end of the game, it's the lights on the backboard... they went off while the ball was still on his fingertips... if you watch the clock behind the backboard not TNT's clock which was off by .1 secs you'll see...
i had OKC +5 in the 2nd half and was shocked that the shot counted with .8secs left so i watched it on DVR... My boookie counted it as a loss but that will have to change...

It does suck if you took the Spurs, but it would suck even more if you took the Thunder.
No one deserves to lose in that way.
Up 13-14? with 3:45 and you guys still had a chance to cover.
Also KD, trapped and not calling a timeout? They turned it over for goodness sakes...when does that ever happen. When your trapped in the corner and the ref is right there, you call a timeout. NO way you force a pass and then turn it over in that CRUCIAL TIME OF THE GAME.
Not only that...but then for Jackson to even hit it so seemingly at the end with .8 seconds left.
I took OKC and it woulda been a 1600 dollar swing for me.
I'm just glad they reviewed and called it off. It did seem like he took longer than .8 seconds.

To the idiot that keeps saying you can't get of a shot in 0.8 seconds. Yes you can, its stated in the NBA rules retard. You need .3 seconds. And they called a timeout because you never know when you might need that play to win the game. If you have a timeout, you use it. Draw something up, it only helps.

I'm still wondering about that last TO down 5 w/.8 to go.........what 5-point play do you diagram?
Yeah thats fishy as hell.
BUT for some reason whoever tossed the ball in....it bounced for a few seconds and for some reason NOT 1 SPURS PLAYER WOULD EVEN TOUCH IT TO IN EFFECT END THE GAME....HMMMM. Seems weird to me.

No bet for me on that one. But you're right. Took them so long on the foul on KD. Should have had 1.3 sec left on the clock, it was 3.3 when inbound.
Sorry for Spurs 2nd bettors.

I have honestly never seen a game that was reviewed on a meaningless three like that, which sucks to lose that way. i've lost plenty times on them not reviewing it, haha. But letgopack....please read my last post, it was to you.

That steelers game ended 11-10 after it got called back. The first 11-10 final score in nfl history. But they still did it. Shit is fixed all the time, just gotta be in the right side. Maybe shit is not fixed, still gotta be on the right side.

Had spurs second half. I just chalk it up to the grind. And if you had spurs second half you probably had multiple bets on this game (like I did ) so it shouldn't be that bad

Hit a 3, draw a foul (4 point play), then Duncan puts his finger up Harden's bum without anyone looking, Harden reacts by hitting Duncan in the head, Harden gets called for a technical foul..
There is your 5 points.....

cal i agree with u they fouled durant right away but ref doesnt decide to blow whistle, if they call foul right away this is neva discussed becuz there woulda ben more than enuf time to get off shot even tho it still shoulda counted

Believing its rigged doesnt necessarily lower your chances of hitting a bet. Its just as possible to be on the right side of the fix than on the wrong side.
That being said, I think people go a little too far when they are claiming fixes. It probably does still happen but not as often as people claim.

I took OKC +5.5 2H, so I know it'll come off as biased--but I agree with your comments the most out of everyone. Not sure how the Spurs pickers can really call it a moose on them, I realize if I had taken the Spurs I'd have been upset--but us OKC bettors would have FAR more reason to be devastated. First off, why the TO to get one last possession? Didn't seem like a Pops move, there's no 5 point play in the books.
Secondly, it is what it is, all smart basketball fans yes realize a shot can be gotten off with .8--but he did not just catch and shoot. Seemed like way too much for .8 seconds.
Anyway, crazy finish, another great game. Let's go OKC!
