Then talk to the guys who had both the Lions and UNDER.  (ME).  

Sorry OP, your not even in the realm of 'worst' bad beat..not even this season.  Michigan/Michigan state may be the worst if not Lions/Under.

I once lost 1200 on a half court shot that wasn't going in and Dwayne Wade jumped up and batted the ball away and the refs called goal tending and gave the other team 3 points and I lost my parlay. So I said to myself what the hell was that.... The heat were winning by 8 why the hell would wade even care if the ball was going in as they were winning by 8 in the last second. This happened about 10 years ago and it still pi$$es me off lol

Lakers -9.5...

Up by 11 with 9 seconds to go in the game...

Have the ball...

Insta foul. Kobe misses one free throw. Up by 12. 

Other team hits a meaningless three at the buzzer. Cost me a 5-team parlay for a $5K payout. 

That was in 2012. Still stings.

WOW!!!

I live in Venezuela, an opportunity in soccer achieving high and low in the system is wrong and placed high at 0.5 goals, well at that time I played everything I had in my pockets, I mean only had to make 1 goal between Colombia and Chile, well 0-0 first half, they whistled a penalty on 80 minutes and Radamel Falcao of Colombia, I fail this cRIMINAL !!! And guess how it turned the game? 0-0

Horrible, I remember that day every year, and since that day is a story to tell every person I know in the world of gambling!

That happens a lot in my country, the bookies do not have a high-tech, and occasionally when not playing for example James Harden and play with Houston vs Golden State, achievement gets stuck mean if Golden State came -4 , when they announce that achieving Harden did not play up to -9 and here in Venezuela remains -4, that happens a lot here so I think profitable place bets in my country!

If, however, there are betting that force you parlay bet type 3 teams do not allow you to play a single computer, and those bookmakers that allow it if they have the technology to make the change immediately.

For example Tuesday Bowling Green team in college basketball from -3.5 to -5.5 change in that house but I'd bet that add 2 more teams to complete type 3 parlay bets, as I do? Placed football teams that have high achievement or NBA teams would come out and bet like this:

BG -3.5 -110
REAL MADRID -1500
BARCELONA FC -1200

I bet as a bridge with two teams to win, and if if you win money!

This happens a lot here to play basketball in college basketball as change much, sometimes staying as they began, the problem is that it has been so, we have also lost, so we do not trust unless there is something really worth betting

Last week was -1.5 Miami Heat vs Cavs
When they announce that will not play Lebron James, changes to -5.5
Guess what? -1.5 here was still good that day I bet a lot of money and win!

omg I see it is crazy  but I had already see team b winning against team a but it is not happened often

anyway, I think Lebron is more than 5pts! this adapt of bookies sucks ! what is 5 pts? with a player who score 25-30 , and without scoring he gave opportunity for his teamplayers to scores as well just because of his presence. After if you consider his defense as well+ teamleader, etc Lebron is at least 10pts to consider without him

Yes, but in NHL it is much better because the games go under several 5.5 -140 true?It means the achievement 5 can change quickly, well when passing a 5 here yet this even if achieving 5.5 5 5 -140 becomes really the bone that is under the best move, take advantage and UNDER the 5.5-140 game!

But 80% of the cases forward, but often lose too! Remember this week in college basketball vs Minnesota went something like St. Soutd Dakota and Minnesota came like -0 -110 -4 Changes minnesota Good night, everyone here minnesota -0 -110 juice that does not change, what happened? Minnesota po 20pts lose the game! Is incredible! everything does not always go as you expect

Thats not that bad of a beat, happens all the time.  Sure the amount it cost you sucks but really nothing special about that scenario.

Bad beats only happen to those that wager way too much per game.

If you use proper money management, you will never have a bad beat.  You will also never sweat the results of any game, you will have better personal and professional life, and you will be a better parent.

Its not a problem. If you try to beat those bad lines in those books in venezuela with big money no problem for the book because it is cheaper for them to have you executed than pay you.
