Subject: [PATCH] Fix odds ticker black display issue when returning to
 rotation

- Reset display start time when force_clear is True or when starting fresh
- Reset scroll position for clean start when display is reset
- Add check for old display start time and reset if it's more than 2x dynamic duration
- Prevents the odds ticker from staying black when it comes back into rotation
- Ensures proper state management between display sessions
