LAS VEGAS -- Sports bettors in Nevada are complaining to state gambling regulators over a scoring change in last weekend's USC-Utah football game that didn't affect the outcome, but swung the betting result in many sports books from the Utes to the Trojans.
Enforcement chief Jerry Markling of the Nevada Gaming Control Board said yesterday that regulators have been taking calls from gamblers and casinos and are trying to resolve disputes after Pac-12 officials changed the score of Saturday night's game two hours after it ended.
"In most cases, the house rules probably are sufficient," he said. "In some cases, they may not be and in those cases then we'll take it and conduct an investigation and make a determination."
USC ultimately won 23-14, scoring a touchdown on a blocked field goal return on the final play of the game. But the touchdown wasn't counted at first because of an excessive celebration penalty on USC, and the score was given as 17-14.
USC was favored by roughly 8½ points in most sports books in Sin City.
