    I should be OK. In the rules there is only a specific statement about OT being included for side, ML, and totals. It never mentions anything about proposition bets. In fact, there is no information about proposition bets at all in the NBA rules. I should win this.

    Unders that go over in OT technically were still the right bet.

    1/2 a refund each should come from Howard (missed FTs) and Van Gundy (bonehead coaching)...

    Actually, what is so bizarre about it? I happen to agree with the guy. Unders and underdogs that lose in OT are the worst beats, because you handcapped the game perfectly through regulation time. So few games go into overtime (percetage-wise) that you really shouldn't incorproate the possibility of OT into your capping.

    True.

    Don't get me started about overs that go under in OT.

    LT, that's donjuan speaking. So I'm pretty sure he means that if the bet was based on proper math, then the bet was 'technically right' at the moment it was placed.

    My remark was directed at those who were bemoaning their luck, but I should have been more careful in my wording.

    Oh, no offense intended. I appreciate the in depth analysis and thought that this was a good spot, but I just don't feel as confident betting an under typically. NBA game totals are the only place that I've had a respectable W% on unders.

    so because the line didn't move again this still has value correct? It's price isn't as offset, but still isn't at -110
