Sometimes the correct play does lose. It is the nature of the game and the beauty or ugliness of variance. If you can't take it, you can't be a gambler.

If you bet $100 " no safety a -760 " for the last 20 years, you would be down $580. Not exactly the end of the world !

I'd be very very surprised. Those guys piss, bleed and sweat their games. It's the biggest game of the season, and for some of their careers. I doubt a highly paid center would have put up enough to throw a safety. He'd need a perfect set of circumstances to have it happen that he can make a bad snap hat would cause a safety.

Quote: kenarmanThe Wiz will be looking for a bridge.
What can I say? Three Super Bowl safties in a row, and 4 out of the last six Super Bowls. Not to mention the two-point conversion. It was definitely an awful game for me.
Since the Laiki Bank failure in Cyprus I've been on a downhill slide. I was hoping 2014 would be my comeback year, but that safety, the whole game, was a very awful beginning for the year.
If you see me with a coin cup and cardboard sign on the bridge between the New York New York and Excalibur, please throw in some small change.
Meanwhile, I'm going to be licking my wounds for a while and not posting much. Try to behave yourselves until I'm back on my feet.

The two point conversion seemed very odd to me. It really made no sense at all. Trailing 36-0 you score a touchdown and go for two. as if trailing 36-8 was some how different than trailing 36-7. Yes, if you do the math, because of the safety and two field goals, Denver would have needed 5 touchdowns and a two point conversion at some point, but really, you generally don't start thinking about that until you have scored 3 or 4 of those touchdowns. It just seemed a really strange call. It didn't effect me....I didn't bet the 2 pt prop, and I am not crying "conspiracy". Just seemed a strange and stupid call.

Strategically it would seem it would be better to try when unnecessary with better odds, then sneak up and tie or win the game.Quote: kewljThe two point conversion seemed very odd to me.

Quote: thecesspit36-8 makes it a 4TD game

yes, I realize that. But it is almost never done that way. When a team is trailing by 15 and scores a TD, they always go for 1, leaving the two point conversion for the final score. That keeps it a one score game. So to go for the 2 point conversion when you are still 4 scores out is very bizarre.
