NFL Replacement Refs Spark Prop Betting Frenzy

NFL Replacement Refs Spark Prop Betting Frenzy at SportsbettingOnline.ag for NFL Week 3
Popular online sportsbook that’s famous for giving players 10% cash back responds to major NFL officiating criticisms with big betting opportunities
San Jose, Costa Rica – September 21, 2012 – As NFL fans cry foul over some of the pro football calls made by this season’s not-so-pro replacement refs, online sports gamblers who bet with SportsBettingOnline.ag have good reason to smile from the sidelines. The online sportsbook released a number of NFL prop bets surrounding this season’s officiating controversies, including game time length, number of penalties called per game, and more.
“Betting on the NFL is always exciting, but we think betting on the refs can be just as thrilling. With game times running unnecessarily long and replacement refs that seem to favor the home team, there’s good reason for NFL fans to be up in arms. But we’re easing the pain of some of this season’s ridiculousness by bringing a number of prop bets to the table.” commented Dave Johnson, head odds maker at SportsBettingOnline.ag
Even though the National Football League is only entering Week 3 of regular season play, NFL fans have grown frustrated over some of the actions of fill-in refs. One of the main criticisms is that the replacement officials are slow to make their calls, and as a result, game times have run significantly longer than usual. SportsBettingOnline.ag

Johnson notes that refs also seem to be calling more penalties on away teams as a result of being swayed by the energy and rowdiness of the home crowds.
