What is the probability that almost every game goes down to the last second to determine the outcome, 1h, 2h, full game?
Been playing football for over 20 years. Seems like the past 5 years, no lead or outcome is determined until the last second, keeping you watching
Watching football nowadays reminds me of watching WWF when I was a kid. Hulk Hogan would be losing the entire match but miraculously, he would find some unknown power, rise up, shake his head, throw some punches followed by the boot to face and ending it with the leg drop. Doesn't matter that it appeared he had no chance for the almost the entirety of the match

Legalize gambling has seen a lot of change. People may or may not see it that way, but that's how I see it.
Ok I'm glad there are others that see this BS as well. For many years, I could bet a game, watch for 1-3 quarters most of the time and turn off the TV because I could tell whether I won or loss and then get on with my day. Now it seems like you have to watch all the way to end to determine the outcome.
It's gotten so bad that it's making me hate this sport. It's not just the money lost, but the time spent researching stats and capping the game, then watching the entire 3.5 hours or more to determine the results. And most of the time, it's always some improbable or miracle ending the flips the script. A less than 1% comeback win or totals going over/under when there was no chance. Then when there is no miracle, there's the refs as backup. For the first time in my life I even see them changing the rules to determine the outcome in the Seahawks vs Rams game last week when the whistle blew, play was dead, yet awarding 2 points to Seahawks.
This game has gotten crazy. Betting leads to watching, which based on how these games play out will definitely cause many broken stuff due to smashing, heart attacks, or a vein bursting in your head. Definitely will take some years off my life

I was on Oregon -20.5 and Rams ML. But I think the worst loss for me last week and probably in my life was Packers ML vs the bears . With 2 minutes to go, they were up 10 points and it showed that Packers had a 99% chance to win the game but somehow they found a way to lose the game
