Tough break for The Prez on that over 141.5, landed on 141.  He's now 10-10 and in danger of falling behind by 3 games if Teddy hits his play.

I guarantee you, 44 -- this contest will not be decided in March, let alone the first week of March.  I've got my work cut out for me; you've got your work cut out for you; same thing for Lump and Prez.  We haven't seen one of Prez's legendary hot streaks yet, and I truly expect to see one or two of those over the next six weeks.

 

One game at a time, gentlemen, one play at a time.  Slow and steady wins this race.  Nice job Lump and 44 -- you've both gotten off to excellent starts!  I wish you nothing but the best of luck in the days and weeks to come!

 

Hope to see you guys at the Covers Radio poker tournament at Bookmaker on March 18th, should be fun....

How crazy is this....

https://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3960269

I think that means that The Prez won the over.  I wonder why the Ivy league cared so much considering it was a double digit blowout??  Crazy moose for anyone with the under....I wonder if I can squeeze the money out of my book for fading Prez' picks?

Its always fishy when that kind of thing happens in regard to a total - or even a spread - that happens to land right on the number... also, those errors are supposed to be "fixed" within a half an hour or so and many books take those late changes into account in their grading... I understand the fans caused chaos but it still doesn't smell right...

...and Vegas KNOWS they can't afford too much of that kind of publicity people affected by it tend to remember each time it happens - I remember the Altanta/Toronto NBA game from 2 seasons ago - points were IGNORED by the official scorer and it actually affected the VEGAS TOTAL that night.... Remember that one fellas?

That cornell total opened up at 141.5 it went to 142.5 at around 3pm eastern, and then closed at 142 at most places.It's all irrelevant the books online  stamp the game official usually within a minute and accounts are credited within 2 minutes.In vegas the process is just a little longer.Vegas had nothing to do with this, if anything a 142 would of landed in the middle and paid off multiple tickets,they were fine with a 141(sorry prez i feel for you man) My question is why would the schools bring that up, all it does is raise red flags.

Agreed. As I said when something like this happens it raises red flags, and THAT is the problem, not necessarily any scurilous behind the scenes activity.  My point is sometimes (ie. Raptors total) there is NO explanation beyond human error and THAT poses real problems optically Every book has its own policy on how and when to credit bets.

Pinny already (voluntarily) returned my funds.  I had to push Bowmans (BET365) who claim to have "red flagged" this one for consideration...

Some online books will do it as a courtesy,especially if you are a good customer.But i guarantee you no sportsbook in nevada will give any kind of refund.  Now did Pinny give you ur original stake back or did they credit you with the stake and the winning funds.

I had O142 - it pushed - so they were "courteous" to return my stake and cancel the bet in spite of the rules of the book... straight PR move. Bet365 acted too after I complained and told them my other books had refunded
