I only sports book bet in Vegas, but I agree 100%. I had an over bet on a Pacers game. I was down one with about 10 seconds to go and the outcome decided for the teams. One of the Pacers decides to throw the ball to Reggie Miller with a few seconds to go. All the other players were walking off the court, and Miller decides to just lay it in for no reason. Over pops, and I win.
I played TCU +8 against Texas Tech earlier this year. 7 is usually the number where the coaches will call off the dogs in the remaining seconds, as three possessions are needed. TCU missed a three pointer in the final seconds, down 7. TT rebounds the ball. Most of the players slowly walk off the court, except for two. The guy who rebounded the ball brought the ball up to half court, and threw up an alley-oop which got slammed home just before the buzzer sounded. TT won by 9. I actually was pretty salty about that one, for one evening.
