Did you get Harbaughed? Bettors react to 49ers' safety-gate

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh declined a chop-block penalty with 43 seconds left Thursday night, which led to a 2-point safety being wiped off the board. With San Fran favored by 7.5 points at the closing number, the game finished in a 13-6 Niners win and betting chaos ensued.

    @Covers I bet 49ers -7 so it wasn't 'too' bad I guess. Huge emotional swing for -7.5 backers though.

    Look, @Covers, it cost me a win. The truth is, Seattle was the right side. If Harbaugh takes the 2, I would've been lucky - not correct.
