This Really Blows FIU/WKY

College Football

GAME #341-342

The Western Kentucky/Florida International game was called with 5:03 left in the 4th quarter. For betting purposes the game must go 55 minutes to be official. Therefore the game is considered no action. First half action is still good.

Why in the world wouldn't they ticket it down to 5 minutes?

Not my favorite day. Had Western Kentucky -16, UNC -6.5, and ODU +22.5 (up 10 in 3Q)

I had this pegged (my buddy is on the WKU beat) about 6:30 Eastern. They didn't grade it correctly until almost two hours later (i see the time of your post, that's about when DB/SO finally got it right).

I had to tell three different offices not to grade the game as final because it didn't go 55 minutes. Had guys chatting me and asking why etc. I sent them these two links, then when FIU posted their game story at around 8 Eastern, there was enough evidence for people to cry to DB/SO and get them to post the message you did in post 1.

One of the worst beats ever if you had WK or OVER. Three seconds.

Lol 3 seconds to pay

 

[Dollaz]

Brutal beat. My book actually hd it graded as a win for awhile before figuring out their mistake.

Couldnt have been an easier read and bet either.

I think WKU scored on the second to last play of the game if I read it right too. So if they hadn't, you know it would have run down enough to get under 5.
