I had another 6-teamer also. Both go 5/6 because of the Oklahoma game. I was okay losing the money. But imagine after it was 31-20 how I felt when TCU did EVERYTHING possible to send this over 78. And that me losing $40 grand comes down to OU throwing a pick on 1st and Goal.

Right now, this is the absolute worst moment of my entire life. I am seriously contemplating ending my life.

I don't get it .....the OU/Clemson game was yesterday and your over already lost so why do you even have interest in this Oregon game. 

Makes no sense.

I didn't really understand either, also Clemson final was 37-17 (55 points) so even if Oklahoma got a TD the over of 64 wouldn't have hit.

That being said, I really hope he's not being serious

#2 900 is hardly worth harming yourself over

I think what he is saying that if that TD was made, there would have likely been another score or two to send it over.  Instead it took all the steam out of OU and allowed Clemson to burn some clock.

I had my plays documented. I went something like 9-1 on overs in college bowls. This being the only loser. I made another 4-teamer with this over and Oklahoma State over. But I got 70. It finished at 68.

The Clemson game was 47-17. If Oklahoma scores it's 47-24 (61). Clemson would then have enough time to score without running the clock out. And if they don't score, OU gets the ball back.

Clemson game was 37-17 unless every scoreboard on the internet is lying.   Are you sure your ticket would have won $40,000?   Did you misread it?   Sure it wasn't $400.00?

 Always makes me laugh when people say they lost the amount of the bet. $40k was never in your hands so you didn't lose anything but your original bet. 

$900 isn't worth anyone's life. Maybe a few guys from covers will pay you a couple hundred a piece for a happy ending.
