Gambling Moment of 2013 so far

In a nutshell, in today's Richmond / Charlotte game.. Richmond is up 3 with 4.7 seconds left and fouls Charlotte... First end of a 1 and 1 for Charlotte goes in, but Richmond player shoves a Charlotte player positioning for the rebound. Since the FT was made and the shove occurred on a dead ball, a technical foul gets called on Richmond. So, in addition to the second free throw from the foul, they get the technical foul shots. All three are made and Charlotte takes a 64-63 lead. Charlotte gets the ball back due to the technical foul, and Richmond fouls right away, but the Charlotte guy makes a half-hearted attempt at a half court 3 pointer and the refs rule it a shooting foul, 3 free throws. Richmond coach loses it, gets T'd twice, resulting in 7 free throws. 4 of them get made and Charlotte wins 68-63. Oh, BTW, the total for the game was 130 1/2. Brutal beat for those that bet UNDER

Must not have watched the Iona vs Manhatten game Monday. Iona a 4 point chalk "wins" by 5 but with a second to go, the court is rushed by fans and instead of letting it go, refs award 2 technical free throws which are both made resulting in a 3 point win.

I stopped betting anything to do with March Madness a few years back. My team is getting 10 points were losing 79-70 with 2 seconds to go. I stand up in the SouthPoint book getting ready to do my Jackie Gleason dance all the way to the window.2 seconds to go you think this over,not so fast .So as the other team is slowly dribbling on their end of the court a freshman on our team runs down and fouls the guy with 0.2 seconds on the clock .He goes down sinks both free throws and I lose by 11.I can't repeat what I screamed at the jumbo screen.Finally a security guard came over told me to calm down or he'll tazer me. What else is new. WTF

I'll vote for two Seattle Seahawk games this year:

1. The Green Bay game when the refs awarded the TD that allowed Seattle the win AND to BTS.

2. When Harsuckbo elected to remove his 2 point safety against Seattle, thus allowing the Seahawks to get the cover by a point.
