That was hands down the most preposterously stupid beat in the history of basketball!

hmmm respect you as a sport capper but certainly not when you have a discussion with someone.
Remember I'm a fellow gambler so where's the empathy

Am I missing something??? It doesn't matter, but I don't think Durant just gave Carlisle the ball....I've been saucin it up, but tell me I'm wrong. Maybe I need to look harder, but I thought Carlisle created contact

 

 

Carlisle, for whatever reason, took a step onto the court and had both feet fully on the court when he tapped Durant on the right hip.  At that moment I thought he was telling Durant "Good game."  Carlisle immediately took a step back and got back on the sideline as Durant turned his body and appeared to offer him the ball.  Carlisle hesistated for about a half second and then snatched it out of Durant's extended palm.  The whistles immediately blew for an out-of-bounds turnover on Durant.  One of the refs, Steve Javie, said something to Carlisle (probably "What the hell was that?") and Carlisle gave him this look as if to say "Beats me."

Didn't trust Dallas without Nowitzki, and stayed off.

You should have too. OKC was + 8 points in the paint.

Moose indeed.

 It was a rhetorical question i think it was obvious that i meant you dont have to bet a game to feel for it , just like me , not played first TNT game , but even tho im winning a second one and going 1-0 feeling upset , because it was such a BS , decided not by the game itself , but by some unexplainable action by Durant.

Then read through the thread tomorrow when you're sober and see if you can make heads or tails of what the hell you've been yammering about.

What?  Who are you talking to?  This thread isn't about who won or lost between the Thunder and the Mavericks.  This is about the over/under calamity at the end of the game.

ok, fair enough, i agree, but there is good luck and bad luck every day with NBA betting.just some more pronounced than others...

This wasnt definitly fixed.....

I agree with Geelong though, i reckon Durant had a brain snap.....I reckon he thought time basically expired and hence what happened...

Now some of you can argue if that was a world class moose for under backers, which it was, all I can tell you is this.

I might be sitting in Los Angeles but I can hear the guys in the book at the LV Hilton yelling their faces off in my head. I fucking know how pissed that crowd must've been.

If that guy did not make the 3 at the end, that would be an even bigger moose for over backers.

I thought the crowd at LV hilton likes to bet overs on TNT thursday night basketball? Shouldn't they cheer instead?

How can you make that statement?  Not hitting the over would not have been a moose.  It would have just been another NBA game where a team cannot shoot >55% for the whole game and a good free throw shooting team missed a few to cost over backers....it happens every night.

What NEVER happens is what has been described in the OP.  That is a moose.

 I had 6 dimes on the Over and will count that as the luckiest win I have ever had and also one that will probably not be surpassed in this lifetime.

 Been on the other side of these breaks all week and regardless of my outcome, I have a heavy heart for those that were on the other side.

I just turned on SportsCenter and caught the last 7 seconds of this game.

I knew Oklahoma City covered, but wasn't sure what the total was. So, immediately I check the closing line at Covers, and of course, it's 192.5.

That is the grossest, most ridiculous cover I think I've ever witnessed in the NBA. Well, at least this week anyway.
