Vegas Called
When a suspicious or questionable officiating call in a sports game drastically alters the momentum or outcome of a game in a way that prevents any semblance of integrity for the game, but allows the sportsbooks to pocket all the money from the lost bets as a result of the altered outcome. Became a popular phrase after the NFL embraced gambling, following a favorable US Supreme Court ruling in 2018, and then the NFL broke the record for the most one-score games in a season, a couple years later.
Announcer: They called holding on the left tackle to erase the 53 yard gain, but I don’t know Jim, I didn’t see anything there warranting a penalty.
Other Announcer: Yea wild outcome, who could have expected the game would end this way!?
Every impressionable child: Look how cute Taylor and Travis are on the field together after Travis committed several penalties uncalled, and spent the pregame bullying the Ravens kicker and throwing his helmet and equipment across the field. SUCH a sweetheart.
Every other spectator around the world: Vegas called… bye bye money.
