This one play shows why you should never gamble on college football

• Clemson beat Florida State in what looked like a ho-hum 30-20 final score between two non-contenders.
• However, Clemson's final touchdown came on the game's final play and changed the fortune of many gamblers.

Don't bet on college football, kids.

In one of the more absurd endings to a college football game, Clemson beat Florida State 30-20 on the final play, breaking the hearts of many gamblers.

With Florida State down 24-20, they tried a multiple-lateral play from their own 33-yard line on the game's final snap. Not only did it not work, but they ended up losing 30 yards, fumbling the ball, and giving Clemson what seemed like a meaningless touchdown.

But it wasn't meaningless. The touchdown meant that people who bet on Florida State at +9.5 lost what looked like a winning wager in the blink of an eye. In addition, the score also pushed the total points to 50, making losers of anybody who had bet under 47 points.

Ouch.
