Man I’d be pissed if I played them.

Literally needed one more minute played to make it official at most books

Teams should have played it out

What was 6 more minutes?!

Especially if either side just wanted to run out the clock

Scam

Imagine having 5 dimes on this and the Injuns voiding it??

Ok - if you were playing this game - you are not likely a “casual” bettor.

Regardless - the bets should be honored for the winners and voided for the losers. Seriously - how much is any book exposed on this game ?

Total was around 60 when I looked at this one this morning - so while 87 is a lot for a side - 97 isn’t massively over the projected total. Pay the damn bets and move on.

Damn! This blows.

wow.....why didn't the S. Bama coach call off the dogs after they scored 60? Look to week 4 when S. Alabama plays at LSU. Bet you LSU looks to bury them. Coaches who run up scores against defenseless teams are not well liked.

I don't get why this has always been the rule, the 55min. Like if the action is already determined like if the total has already gone over? Like here, 87-10? total way over? other team no mathematical chance of covering? Just pay you cheap fukking sore asses.
