My volume isn't as high as it once was, but over the years I've bet on basketball more than any other sport

In my opinion these regular scenarios in hoops are more frustrating than of those in betting any other sport

Both have an effect on the side and total, but usually determines the outcome of the total more so

#1 A team down double digits or more with under 1 minute to go, and it's players STILL intentionally fouling, pushing an Under over the total.
Yes we get it "Never Give Up" but when it's over, it's over. Some teams get this and will let the opposing team dribble out the clock, but more often than not you have these unnecessary fouls & free throws determining the outcome of the total

#2 An under is well in hand in a BLOWOUT, but in come the scrubs towards the end of the game running up & down the court like a bunch of idiots trying to get their garbage points, and push a sure under, over the total

I don't think anything in sports betting bother me more than the things above

Anything else you guys can think of I'm leaving out?

I agree šŸ’Æ percent as I'm an under player. There's nothing sexy about fn teams down 12/15 points in a game and doing what I like to call.. Here comes the foul fuckery šŸ˜‚ Like I always say with a total it's not Over until it's under. šŸ˜‰ šŸ‘Š

Those are good ones.

Another one that kills me is teams missing freethrows. Sure missing one or two, OK. But any team shooting < 80% is insane.

"Foul Fuckery" is a perfect description!!! Has absolutely no effect on the game's outcome, EXCEPT to f*** up the under bettors!!!

When you have an under play and the slap fest foul fuxkery happens at the end of the games when a team is down double digits. Meaningless BS fouls.

UNC down 2 with a second to go. Guaranteed Nelson intentionally missed both free-throws as the game was over, zero ability for UNC to score again. That should trigger an investigation by the NCAA and gaming regulators should it not?? HE SHAVED THE POINTS. I had zero invested in the game and have no idea what the lines were so my give a shit is zero but the powers that be cannot pick and choose what's a deliberate miss and what's not.... my 2cents.
