I've never seen this before:

At the half, both head coaches agreed that the second half would be sped up. They decided that both the third and fourth quarters would be just 10 minutes instead of 15.

Because the game was not played to completion, the game did not count in the eyes of the sportsbooks. All bets were voided at halftime when Syracuse and Wagner agreed to cut the quarters by five minutes each.

LOL

I've heard of both Coaches agreeing to a 'Running Clock', but have never heard of making up shit out of the blue.
 
No way should it need to be paid out. They changed the rules during the game.
 
This is 100% the right call by sports books.

People will cry but changing the rules during the game would be like sportsbooks changing the already locked in betting lines mid games to screw betters
Totally agree. We went with a 12 minute 4th quarter against Stamford at their coach's request. I wondered what the bookies did. It's the only fair thing to do.
 
You are a real fucking degenerate if you are betting on Syracuse vs Wagner anyway. Lol.
I had 2k on the under. They will be hearing from my lawyer in the morning....
 
You bet on huge spreads like that, you get what you deserve. I always assumed my bookie’s site didn’t even list FCS vs FBS games until I found em way down at the bottom once you scroll past all the real games when I was hell bent on betting Illinois to cover -19 against their FCS opponent
