All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
The gambling line is San Francisco -7.5. San Francisco stops Seattle on a 4th down with a 7 point lead but get a safety on the play on penalties. They decline the penalty and the points to kneel the ball.
A coach has no responsibility to the bettors. If he takes the penalty & Seattle gets an onside kick, scores a quick TD, gets another onside kick & kicks a field goal, he loses. If he takes the points off the board, he's guaranteed a win. The chances of losing may be almost impossible if he takes the points, but they are totally impossible if he takes the ball, although I wouldn't do that against the nut job in Tampa who if he ever tries the nonsense he pulled against the Giants in SF, he's likely to get a knuckle sandwich from Harbaugh.

It might be the smart play, but it's hilarious how many people just got screwed in Vegas.
What exactly was the penalty? Did they call it a high low block or an illegal block in the back? All I kept hearing Mayock saying was high low. It wasn't low, unless anything below the shoulder pads is considered low.
If it was, that's a funky call, or the rule is written pretty strange.
that sounds like the words of someone who doesnt gamble or if you do, you dont win much.. underdogs are hitting at over 62% this year.. betting is not at all about who will win the game.. but who will cover the spread.. my bet was based on the fact that both teams have strong defenses and allow few points.. so if its going to be a low scoring game with few points, you take the team getting more than a touchdown.. and it proved to be the right side.

The rule I was always told is never take a road dog unless you are convinced they can win outright.

I took the under in tonight game for this instance. Both SF / SH ranked 2/3 for 3 and outs so this was an easy choice. You don't bet against road teams unless there is a good chance they can win outright, regardless of the spread.
based on the bull**** i have seen seattle has pulled off this season, it wouldnt have suprised me to see them win, but i was simply betting that they wouldnt lose by more than a td.. i couldnt convince myself to take the under at 37.5.. seemed too low.. i rarely touch something under 40.
