i gotta vent for once...playing totals will....

drive you up a fu/cking wall. absolutely ridiculous.
yesterday:

byu/utah under 128.8
31-26 at half. 57 point at half.
complete scoring explosion in the 2h. game goes well over.

hell, if i thought my loss on byu/utah under was annoying, i only had to wait till tonight.

florida/scarolina under 134.5
35-23 at halftime.
58 points. feeling good. can let up 76.5 2h points. would take another scoring explosion to beat me.

hell, this florida 2h might have 100 points alone.

the life of an under player is rough sometimes i guess. havent been this annoyed in awhile though

ONE HUNDRED ONE second half points.
lmfao.
58 1h points.
101 2h points.

as anticipated, iowa state dominates 1h, and my guess is that they lose the game by 13. we'll see, lol

Totally agree. Got burned bad on BYU and UTAH last night after I had it circled as a win. The sports must make some changes. The foul orgy at the end of these games is making the sport a joke to watch. No longer can we revel in the moment of counting down the final ticks of the clock. Now, with all the intentional fouling that occurs in every game, the final 30 seconds can take 10 minutes to conclude.

Regarding the gambling aspect -- particularly as it applies to totals, you can almost never feel safe with an CBB UNDER play. You might get 40 percent of the total in the 1H and feel confident, but the teams will sure as hell rip the net off the rim with trash free-throws. Nightmare scenarios for UNDER bettors are games where the margin is about 5-7 points and the losing team starts the foul orgy with half a minute left.

I've read that the NCAA is considering instituting some rules changes (these are the same geniuses who run the college bowl system in football). More than a few times, I have stormed out of the sportsbook becasue I was sick of watching intentional fouls, free-throws, time outs, and television commmercials. Sometimes, I think all the fouling is designed so the TV networks CAN run all the pimp sppots at the end of the game.

Really sad.

I won't bring up throwing bottles this time, because I'm not sure where to aim.

Tell me about Nolan. Freakin' guy for Indiana knocks down a 3 w/12 seconds left to make the game go over and then they let Ill. run the clock out. Almost lost another TV last night.

I'm just about done gambling. Not fun anymore.

Nolan,
while I agree that fouling gets annoying at the end of the game, coaches have to do what they have to do to win...while most games that end in a fouling spree don't end happily for the fouling team, there are the times where the leading team coughs it up...you wouldn't have great comebacks like the duke/maryland game from last year without intentional fouling...just remember, the players don't care about you or your bets, they just want to get a W...
