Extra innings bases loaded in a tie game, need 3 for the over. I think it was Ventura that hit the grand slam to win it for me , until the stupid fuck on first passes the guy in front of him and only 1 run counted and it was ruled a single

Tonight's game between Texas and Alabama

Texas backers got a tough break.  I don't think Texas backers would still bet on Texas if they knew McCoy was not going to play the majority of the game.  Another tough break is that McCoy was physically able to come back into the game, but his daddy decided to hold him back because it might jeopardize his professional career.

NO fucking way you can't beat my worst beat this season

I had 4500 in a parlay with Uconn (CFB) and Pitt(CFB) to win 5200

this was the game when Uconn played Rutgers with .22 seconds left Uconn took the lead after finally punching it in the endzone from the 1 yard line.  Then Rutgers throws a quick slant after the kickoff and the reciever goes yard to win.  I still haven't recovered from that and I'll never forget that EVER!

Can't help but laugh.  I was on this too.  I purposely didn't watch highlights that night or the next day because a buddy told me how bad of a beat we took.  I actually thought he chucked a 3/4 court shot or something.  I had NO idea it was like that.  Thanks for the memories

One of the worst comes to mind was brewers vs cubs.  I have the brewers +1.5  at wrigley I think Rich Harden or someone was pitching and the dam brewers tied the game in the ninth to send it to extras.  Im like OK I won anyway and what happens but Corey Patterson hits a two run walk of home run which snuck around the right field foul pole.  I mean Corey Patterson are you serious????????

I think my worst was last year I had Miami Heat in the 2nd half.  I dont recall who they were playing, but I was up by 1/2 point with one second left in the game and Miami (my team) had the ball getting ready to in bound the ball.  Can't lose right?  WRONG.  D Wade says something to a ref and gets a technical foul called.  The other team got the ball went to the free throw made the free throw then got the ball in bounded it.......game over....I LOSE.


Funny, this was probably not the worst or even my worst beat, but it was the most recent.  BOS@MIA game a few nights ago.  Mia up by 2 (i have mia -1.5) with .6 seconds left.  Bos ties and wins in OT.
