    He had an underhand toss to Zeke on that last drive...the announcer even said "little toss to Elliott" that would have been his 21st completion of the game...but NOPE.  Somehow his stat line ends at 20 completions.  Help me understand this?

    Youve never lost a wager by a hook before?

    It sucks...vent it off and move on...what else can you do about it?

    The line was set like all other lines by advanced metrics and algorhytyms that we the public will never be able to comprehend...they spit out a line, and we make our choices as to what peaks our betting minds.

    I cant even tell you how many times ive won or lost by a hook...its just how it goes.

    Eerie how they are spot on with these player props.. surprised If it looks too easy, take the under. If it looks too hard, take the over.. an_lightpeace_5

    One of the NBA seasons, I had a player prop for Kevin Love. Number of 3 pointers made by Kevin Love: O/U 2.5. I took the over. He makes one in the 1st and another one in the 2nd quarter. I got a whole half game left right? This is a GUARANTEED WINNER right? Wrong, Cavs had a monster double digit lead at the half and they bench his a$$ for the remainder of the game... an_brick

    It was a lateral so thats why it didnt count as a completion. Like another poster said a lot of these prop bets land realllllll close to the number, thats why if you have a local book whose props are off even the littlest bit you can hammer the guy. I got cut off from a guy last year after winning 15k in like 4 months on NBA then mlb props. In mlb he would have like UNDER 2 H+R+RBI at -110 when it was -160 at 5dimes. Was awesome
