NFL is shorting overtime to 10 mins therefore adding more game ties and pushes which means less payouts.

Goodell is the worst thing to happen to the NFL.

Not sure who is the worse commissioner for the sport itself in their respected league, Bettman or Goodell.  

You can make strong cases for both.

In "case of a tie" means the bet is a push, not that the game ends in a tie.  If you bet Under 35 and the game ends in a 49-49 OT tie, you don't get your money back.  But if you bet Under 35 and the game ends in a 21-14 score, then you do.

This only affects ML bets, and even with a shorter OT, there won't be more than 3 or 4 ties a year....

That is 3 to 4 times too much.  I want payouts not pushes.

Pushes means your butt is safe from losing but you did not make extra money.

So you never bet a side or a total that is not a half point?
