    Default Oh shit, I'm dumber than I thought

    So I had Samford ML the other night against Murray State.

    Was listening to the live feed of the game, and Murray state hit 2 free throws with 2 seconds left, and then stole the inbounds pass and the guy threw it up in the air. That's when I turned off the live feed --- pissed.

    What I didn't know was the ball landed out of bounds with .4 seconds left, and Samford hit a long 3 at the buzzer to win it.

    I saw 5dimes graded it as a win, and thought nothing of it because they have graded a few of my losing bets as wins in the past, only to reverse the grade the next day.

    Well, the $200 was all I had left in my 5dimes account after the win, and I thought hey, free money --- I lost, they graded it as a win. I went to the flash poker room, went into a room with the highest limits I could get into, and proceeded to play very loose, losing my money in about an hour.

    I kept checking back at 5dimes to see if I'd have a negative balance, and never did --- and couldn't figure out why.

    So a few minutes ago I went to the Sportsline.com scoreboard for last Thursday, and read the recap.

    I feel like a jackass!

    That being said, I feel even worse for those on Murray State -2, -1, and the Murray ML. The dumbass that intercepted the Samford inbound pass at the end threw it up in the air, thinking the clock would expire --- if he held onto it, the clock would have ran out or he would have been at the line for 2 shots.

    Anyone here have Murray last thursday?

    I blame this mistake on the damn Murray State radio broadcasters. As soon as that clown threw the ball up in the air, the announcer said "and that'll do it!" That's when I closed the window and proceeded to yell at my cat. Poor kitty.

    Man that really sucks 2Pac but I agree with what you said at least you didnt have tons of money on Murray State -1. When you see plays like that and your on the losing end makes you really question why you bet haha

    Great story man. I don't how many times I shut down a game with a minute or two left. Only to assume I lost. Talk about a great time for a surprise.

    What you don't know is that Samford's center hit about a 30-foot fadeaway three (according to a friend of a friend who was at the game and had MSU -2).

    I didn't know the exact play, but I did know it was a last second three that won it. But a win is a win. Money in the pocket. I know I have been on the losing end of these, so I will take it.

    I have never had a losing wager graded as a win or vice versa. Very strange.
