This might be the first huge crushing moment for bettors in football season (and we’re just in Week 1 of college football, with the opening week of NFL coming soon!).
LSU scored a touchdown with no time left on the clock against Florida State on Sunday night. An extra point and the Tigers and Seminoles would be tied and head to overtime.
NOPE. Florida State blocked the kick for the win, everyone made Brian Kelly jokes, and there was so much trolling.
But for bettors? For many, the over/under was in the 49.5 to 50 or 50.5-point vicinity. At 24-24, there was a GUARANTEE the over would hit.
Alas:
OOF
Extra point missed cost tens of millions to those who had over. 48 points into over time would have guaranteed closing total of 50 to hit.

What a bad beat for anyone who bet the Over in the LSU FSU game.
There’s absolutely nothing as electric as College Football.
