Yes, OT is BS.
If a game ends 7 minutes early for some reason - the Unders DO NOT win. If a game ( UNLV/WISC last year ) gets called early, the Unders are NO ACTION because the game didnt go the full time -- but if a game goes 4 OT's Unders LOSE -- Where is the justice in this ?
If I bet a College 2nd Half Under -- I am betting it under for 20 minutes of action --- Not 35 minutes (3 OT).

If it is true that the books get hurt when a lot of Favs and Overs come in, then I have a suggestion for them.
Make the rules be fair. What is good for the goose, should be good for the gander. If over bettors get a bail out (No Action) when a game doesnt go the full time, then shouldnt Under bettors also get a bail out when it goes an extra 5 -20 minutes ?
Why wouldnt a large number of players bet Favs and Overs with the current unfair and unequal vegas rules pertaining to OT ? I have bet so many games under 200 and it will be like 84-84 at the end of regulation ( 32 point winner ), then its 94-94 after 1 OT, then I lose 103-98. But last year I had Wisconsin under and I got No Action because the game didnt go all the way.
Ok, I can live with that No Action, but I should get No Action for every under and dog I have lost in 2OT, 3 OT, and even 4 OT.

This is like if I owned a casino and I had a special rule on my roulette wheels.
If you bet Black and its not black -- you lose.
If you bet Red and its not red - you lose if its odd, you get No ACtion if its even.
Now one day Red comes up 16 straight times, and 40 out of 50 times. I am pissed because I notice that almost everyone is playing red and noone is playing black. I am getting my arse kicked when a lot of reds come up and I dont understand why all these assholes insist on playing red.

Let me be the first to congratulate everyone who had the Oklahoma / Michigan State game over 131. 65-62 with 3 seconds left -- only chance in hell is OT. Congrats to everyone who had it over.
P.S. , I have Kentucky vs. UCLA under 150 . Its 23-11 with 6 minutes left in the first. I sure hope this game doesnt get called with a couple minutes left -- would suck to get a no action because the game only went 35 of the 40 minutes.
Again, congrats all over bettots on the Oklahoma game -- it may take you 55 minutes of action to get the over, but congrats on the win.

i had the over in ok-mi st. what a break,nice to get one once in a while
Maybe I am way off on this issue ( I have now lost 4 plays because of OT in the last 3 days )
I think the Las Vegas rule that a game is no action if it doesnt go 56 minutes is a BS rule. I guess the theory is that it isnt fair to a guy who bet the game over because he was betting for a 40 minute game ( if college bball), but shouldnt the same apply for an under better. I bet that second half under 97 1/2 ( I was betting it under for 24 minutes, not 29 or 34 or 39 or 44)
It seems to be a very unfairly applied rule.
Besides, if a game gets called 6 minutes early and a guy loses his Over because of it, that is something that might happen once every 3 or 4 years. Us under bettors lose Unders because of OT at least 10 -20 times a year.
