Back to the op. Tonight’s play in game chi/atl. Chi up 18 with like 55 secs to go. The run the clock out, atl is “supposed” to reciprocate, only Trae young hits a 30 footer to a chorus of boos. So Chicago wins by 15 not 18. Normally who cares, but with in game betting, a lot of people care. To me no big deal, I bet in game, but generally not on garbage time outcomes. I just find it ridiculous when the league is promoting gambling on its product ad nauseum, the betting platforms are offering in game betting, yet in the name of “sportsmanship” has this late game stupidity. Forget sportsmanship. People are betting on the outcome, you are promoting it, play the game out. Obviously if there is less than 24 seconds less you let the clock run out if you are ahead.
