Can a team cover a spread as 21.5 point favorites and NOT score 3 consecutive times in the game? What is the scenario?

steaktartar · Nov 26, 2007

assuming PATS dont count td-td 14-0 give up fg 14-3 td td 28-3 final

PO69 · Nov 26, 2007

14 points then opposing field goal, 14 points then opposing field

that is one of MANY ways for this to happen

with the dog kicking FG's and the fav punching it in for 7 it can happen. I guess you are looking for actual percentages. I am sure steak can figure it out.

achandicap · Nov 26, 2007

Somewhat difficult, but it can happen.

Team A TD: 7-0
Team A TD: 14-0
Team B FG: 14-3
Team A TD: 21-3
Team A TD: 28-3

That's just one example.

zeeman · Nov 26, 2007

Easily,

td, td, other team fg, td, td, = 28-3

PO69 · Nov 26, 2007

You wont be able to get an accurate % because there are so many ways for this to happen. There are WAY TOO many variables right now.

You need to set some parameters for the total of the game and if the last 2 scores by the winning team are the final scores of the game

How about this
TeamA td 7-0
TeamA td 14-0
TeamB safety 14-2
TeamA fg 17-2
TeamA last td on interception 24-2 final.

yes, but why did you ask? did you find a book that allowed a parlay on this? if so play it large..and post the book.

Timetopay · Nov 26, 2007

try Vip does and I tried it last night.

Obviously to no avail...

No. Just seeing that the alt spreads of -21.5 and -24.5 are +200 to +250. And the "no" to 3 consec scores is about +225 to +250 everywhere.

So you could take Pitt -21.5 and no 3 consec scores both at over +200 and count on this one scenario of TD,TD FG for team B TD,TD not happening

You'd likely lose the prop if Pitts covers. You want to parlay fav and yes, or dog and no, if possible.

Yes, but in his scenario both bets are better than +200. He is betting on going 1-1, not 2-0.

Maybe I'm Reading Into It Too Much, But How Is This....3 Consecutive Scores?

Looks Like 2...Give up a FG...Then 2 More..

It is not 3 consecutive scores. That was the original question. Reread post #1.

for an improbable side note it is possible to give three straight scores while never getting three straight scores and still cover 21 1/2...td-td 14-0 other team safety safety safety 14-6 td -td 28-6 final.........yes i drink too much

whormoan · Nov 27, 2007

Tonight might have been a bad example because of the distorted field conditions. But I think taking -21 or more on an "alternate spread" and taking "NO" 3 consecutive score (both between +200 and +250 or more) will make you significant profit more often than not. 1-1 is a solid winner with this bet.

thats like asking if 4x4 is the same as 40% of 40?
