Like I said, I rarely bet totals. And never had a situation where I landed right on a total I had bet. I have a journalistic background, and "Over 74", semantically, tells me the score has to go over that number to win. Just hitting it would not be over.It would be right on it, which would look like a push. (The "under" would obviously have lost, no? Or would that have also been a push?)
In any case the bet was won, as was my side with da Bruins.
Hey, I'm not afraid to show selected ignorance. And, I used to work for a sports book. Not, natch, in taking bets, just in marketing! Just don't go near too many totals, except I loved this one and two others in the bowls.
Many thanx!
