I was in college it was about '02 '03. Was up alot for the year, blowing all the money of course and had the worst week ever. was down about $1000, In college thats equivelent to 1.2 million, anyway Clippers Lakers, bet it all on the Clippers +12. Going into the fourth quarter the were up by 12. +24.. 1 quarter left, Kobe went bananas, rest is history. Not the worst in terms of a final second play, but with all that money it hurt. Didn't bet again for 2 years!!

CFL FOOTBALL

BC LIONS @ WPG BLUE BOMBERS.. 

TOOK BC +8.5

the lions were winning by 22 heading into the forth qtr.. i turned the game off.. I put the game back on to see that winnipeg was only down 3 and needed a FG to tie.. they threw a hail mary and got into field goal range the kick was good and now on to OT. In Canadian football both teams get the ball once and have to match or better the other teams offence.. The are no extra points you have to go for 2.. So i felt safe knowing they catch score more then 8.. well the bombers scored going up by 6.. The bc lions now had the ball and trying to match or better the bombers.. On 3rd down the BC threw an interception and the bomber player decided to screw everyone and take it back for a pointless 6 points to win by 12..

Hmmm let me think, I had the under in the colts and giants game, I believe it was the 3rd week on SNF this year.  I left already during the 4th quarter seeing this game was going to go under and not a score was going to happen. Colts had the ball in there possession  with less then 2 minutes left and was running the ball. Some how the rookie running back that was in fumble the ball to the Giants. Of course Eli had to score a TD to burn all under backers.  Now that was a 1 dime swing right there! Will never forget it.  Some how I still manage to bet the under like I did tonight, but this time it was way no where as much as I put on it that night!

Under betters have been brutal this year guys, I have said this before.  I think I am going to stay away for totals in CFB and NFL for a long time.  Overs are cashing in at such a high rate it's crazy!!!

Easy to remember - my first $100 bet was a moose , if not a double-moose.

Had the BoSox -1.5 runline, who were beating up on the TB Rays 5-0 at the Trop in 2005 when Matt Clement got domed by a line drive up the middle in the third inning.  (Clement was 10-3 going into the game with a 4ish ERA, against Mark Hendrickson, who was 4-7 with an ERA about 6.82.)

The score went from 5-0 to 5-5. BoSox were losing 6-8 when they scored two in the top of the 9th to tie, and two in the top of the 10th which means BoSox are now winning 10-8. So, now it looks like I'm gonna win, right? Wrong.

W/ two outs in the bottom of the 10th, up by two, Schilling lets the nobody runner steal second on defensive indifference. Travis Lee doubles to left, Schilling gets the next guy out, game over = I lose because of defensive indifference.

I'm kind of happy that happened to me early on, so I learned that truly anything can happen, and that there is no such thing as a lock.

Here's the boxscore:

I had the over on the Laker game last year... I remember I needed a point for the push.  Kobe goes to the line and missed 2 free throws with like 3 seconds left... Over didnt hit nor did i push...........  But I have to be honest this one was pretty tuff for me.....Giants should have gone for it 4th and 1.... THis one was tuff...

I should clarify - on that Travis Lee double - the runner scores, making it 10-9.

6 years ago. NBA Eastern Conference semis. Miami is up big with seconds to go in the game and I had the dog (I think Boston) Dwayne Wade takes the inbound and instead of just dribbling the remaining time off the clock that motherfucker runs down full length of the court and slam ducks the ball giving me the biggest MOOSE of all time!

PBA (Philippine Basketball) game a yer ago. I had Air 21+4.5. Close game throughout, but their opponent SLR managed to lead by 6 with 12 seconds to go. Air 21 calls TO after made FTs to design a play. Air 21 inbounds the ball and dribbles off time near halfcourt, so I felt hopeless. SLR starts making their way out along with some Air 21 players. Then with 4 seconds left, Air 21's center gets the ball and drives it in for an uncontested layup at the buzzer.

Philippine Basketball used to be very fixed but for some reason it got cleaner in recent years.

I don't remember the teams involved but it's a NBA game. The o/u was missed by 4 when the game got into OT. Both teams scored 2 points combined to stay under. That has to be the worst moose ever in any sports.

I lost the same way in a college football game, it was Az st. when jake Plummer was there, they were -8.5, bet against them. 
Game goes into OT, I know I won so I double my bet on Nebraska to follow.  ASU scores going up 7, the other team, think Cal, runs a swing pass, LB picks it off and takes it to the house to win by 13. 
Then needless to say I lost Nebraska to follow.  My worst week ever, I was a 21 yr old kid with a OK job, but this took a lot of my money.  I took some time off from gambling after this one, and I learned money management with gambling!  Only lose what I could afford

WORST bad beat for me last year  was a suivor pool weekly  you pay $10  for  to pick teams s/u   plus totals for MNF game in case of a tie

 

i was looking good until fucking Patriots  blew a huge lead  at Colts  and i wound up out of money  only top 3 winners shared the pool !

I wound up  12 - 4  in 4th 

3rd place would have gotten me $200

Are you sure that happened????  Thought college football when there is a turnover in OT the ball is dead!!!  I went back and checked the games from 93-96(Plummer years) and couldn't find this happening......I may be wrong so sorry if so
