mizzou how could you prove it now? In vegas, there will always a record of every game played and its score. But surely everyone involved knew that the engine wasn't 100% so they knew what they were getting into, a bet is a bet....

And colonels, your wrong... as soon as Vegas has it posted as a final... they cash tickets... they don't wait 2 days to be sure everything was ok... they pay then. No money in Veags was ever given back on a team forced onto probation and had to forfeit games due to recruiting vilations... when it's a final... it's a final. They pay



This is a classic case of "no action". And the way I understand it....exhibs were run and then re-run...if this score is a result of the re-run, then it isn't/wouldn't be the score of record, the first one would have been.

You bet on a game. It was played. The score was 126-77, and you didn't cover the spread.

In the immortal words of Teddy KGB ... "Pay the man his money".

I think seble pretty much admitting that the new engine is/was ****/subpar because he fixed it for a week, pretty well nixes the deal.

Can you prove this game was played on either team schedule page?

Look at it like one of those tennis matches which are completed but the casinos cancel the bets because the match was fixed...same thing broken engine; fixed game...use any analogy you want but the fact the first game got rolled back means it didnt happen.

The beating from the first game (which never actually happened according to some of you) = 51 pts; the beating from the second game (which may still be a fluke according to some of you)= 59 pts. Pay the man his money.

its good to see Arkansas from Smith actually having some success for a change. As Seble as my witness, we all know they are gonna go down hard again this season, like all of mott's seasons.

Its a "no action".

If the first bet is voided because there's no proof of game 1 or since it was re-run, that bet doesn't carry over to game 2, you have to re-bet...did you do that?
