football is a 60 minute game.

The score and scoring plays for both teams, counts for all 60 minutes.


And who cares if the house got beat?

Just the cost of having the house.

[bankshot1]

Although I wonder what the house would have bought back Redskins +4 1/2 when it looked like a lock seconds before they fumbled themselves from a cover to a fucking brutal bad beat,

I understand that betting shops will buy back winning bets, presumably at a discount. Its risk management for both parties. They pay-out less and you accept a lesser winning amount. 

let's say you had Skins +4 1/2 in that games at a standard -110 bet.

You thought it was a virual lock to cover, and it was, but as we saw, stuff happens.

If you sold it with a minute to go, for example 180, (versus 210) you would have won $70 rather than $100, and the house would have saved $30.
 
But in accepting the lower pay-out you couldn't lose.

My question was I wonder what was the price at the time to induce bettors to sell what looked like a virtual lock winning bet. What is the price of cetainty.

[kiidcarter8]

Pretty sure it goes off the board that late in a game.

I saw Knicks +20.5 (in game betting) at one point in a  game that they eventually lost by single digits.  But by the start of 4th quarter there was no line for it.

But you are correct - in game odds has changed the industry just a bit.

Supposedly FanDuel has a "cash out now" feature that fluctuates in payout as the game goes on.  I am sure this is what you are referring to.  Wasn't aware the Vegas books also had that.

I value Gottlieb's opinion on credit card theft far more than his opinion about football.

that was a real good game of tackle football.

nice to see the O-line show-up and control the LoS

[kiidcarter8]

Fuckers!

Had to put the ball in Allen's hands on a run at least once, twice after first and goal at the 8.

We could see this one run back in Final 4.
