I had the 4th quarter as the highest scoring quarter today.

The 1st and 2nd quarter both have 10 points ... how do they grade this wager these two quarters tie for the highest? Is everything a push?

Most books would pay the bettors of each winning quarter half. Some would grade as a loss

are you serious? Who cares if two quarters push if 4th is highest?

And if 4th pushes as top its a push.

They can't pay +155 and +280, can they?

But if the scores are:

1st Q = 10
2nd Q = 10
3rd Q = 10

... then do they 4th Q people get a free shot?

Well not half exactly but calculated payoff. If VD is right and they are all graded as losers than the bet sux bigtime as ties would be common

If pushes are a loss, then I really am a fuc*ing square for even playing it ... win or lose ... GEEZ ...

First time I ever played this wager and it was only because I thought the Pats would run it up at the end.

I have talked to three bookmakers tonite and all three have different answers..you really need the wording of the bet to really know...maybe it isn't a loss.
