What do you guys think???

First time poster, long time reader...

Today while looking at the props on
the Pacer/76er game, I found a wager
I liked and bet it. The prop read
"1STQUARTER PACERS OV 46.5." Well,
after watching the 1 quarter sail
over 46.5, I thought I had a easy
winner and a good start to the
weekend....

Later this evening when checking
my account, I found the wager had
been recorded as a loss.

So my question to the group, how
do you read this prop? I later
played the over on the 1 quarter
at a different book at 47.5. The
thought that this prop could be
seen as the Pacers scoring over 46.5
by themselves never crossed my mind.
What's the record points for a team
in the 1st qt? 50 maybe? What would
the line be on a team scoring that
many points in a quarter? Somewhere
in the 30-1 area? Anyway, let me
know what you think. I just e-mailed
the book.

Thanks, have a good one....

I would read it like you read it: 187/4=46.5. The over/under for the combined score of BOTH teams for the quarter is 46.5. Were there odds posted next to the prop? Have you contacted the book to ask for an explanation or an adjustment to your account? My initial thought was the book was ripping you off, but I'm now leaning toward believing it was an honest mistake. You should have no problem getting credited for the win. If not pull out quick and keep both hands on the condom...let us know what happens.

Obvious grading mistake - should be quickly corrected.
