It was more of an off-the-cuff comment dealing more with psychology. If you were in his position and this was the last game needed after all other results were known, how confident would you be. especially since I believe the posted total on this game was 5 and not the more common 5.5? I know the math says it was not that bad, but just the fact that it was the last game and happened in this particular game just has to sting a lot. Oh and he needed Under 9.5, not 8.5.

I did indeed read wrong, so maybe more like -2500 than -1000 to -1500 which is worse. But still not nearly in the "worst beat I've ever seen" type, despite the psychology of it. I do understand where you're coming from though, but still, this is not nearly what it's made to look like.

You want to hear a bad beat story? I had Nadal-5.5 over Tsonga this year at Monte Carlo, on clay where Nadal destroys everyone. He won the first set 6-3 and led 5-1 in the 2nd and was serving for the match. Tsonga was +900 to break that game. He breaks. ok, no biggie, still 2 chances to close it out, one of them on serve. Nadal races ahead 0-40 on Tsonga's serve and has 3 match points. Blows all 3 and Tsonga eventually holds. Still, Tsonga to break was +900 in that last game again so I was still a heavy, heavy favorite to win my bet. And yet Nadal gets broken again.

Essentially, Tsonga to win those 3 straight games was like parlaying +900, -200 and +900, and that doesn't even take into account that he was 0-40 down on serve in one of those games. Those 3 odds added come to +15000 live for me to lose my bet.

Now THAT qualifies for a worst beat of all time type bet.

Oh, and I also had the Grizzlies over the Clippers in that game where they blew a 24 point lead with 7'55 left to go in the 4th.

Right, we all have stories, its the nature of the beast. I remember a game where the final score was changed a couple of hours after the game and the books honored the revised score, which swung the ATS outcome. Details are a bit murky to me now but it was NCAA Football and I THINK it was USC that covered when the players and refs left the field but lost ATS after revision.

Yeah I may be a bit too caught up into evaluating how bad a beat was mathematically. Part of it is definitely how hard it hits you mentally (I doubt this one had any such consequences as I repeat and seem not to be the only one to think this was an obvious airbet), because at the end of a day a loss is a loss. There aren't any moral victories in sportsbetting as I've learned.

Understood but would that football game I described be considered a 100% winner on the favorite at game's end? In actuality it was 99.9999999999% and the 0.0000000001% happened.

[LT Profits]

Oh and the brick and mortar books that payed out on the favorite the first few hours payed out both sides to people that did not tear up tickets.

[Vinnie Paz]

who the fukk bets 5 figures on grand salamis?

you are reaching pal.

Books actually take that much on a salami???

Why not just split the 5 figures up and bet under on each game or something?

[Brutus84]

Was it USC vs. Utah?

Remember the steelers/chargers game a few years bsck where polamalu got the pick 6 on the final pla y to cover the spread but it didnt count

[Brutus84]

I think it was 2 years ago Miami vs Maryland. Maryland kicked a field goal with 90 seconds left to take a 1 or 2 point lead and then Morris threw an INT for a TD and ****** up the spread I believe. I know I lost money cuz of that shit. Shit happens.

[LT Profits]

Was it USC vs. Utah?

YES. And I had it backwards, USC did not cover when the game was over on the field but was given the cover afterwards, no doubt pleasing the alumni. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/s...al-score-23-14

[Huckleberry Pig]

that ohio st northwestern game last weekend was pretty brutal

[No coincidences]

For those of you saying Northwestern, I am not so sure. Think about it, what happens more often: A fluky game ending play changing the ATS outcome of a game or double-digits scored in an NHL game? I don't think it is clear-cut.

Are you kidding me here, LT?

Yeah that does suck. I don't follow american football so I obviously don't recall that or how the outcome could be changed after the game but I feel ya.

[Reload]

Tough that it happened, but it's not up there with worst beats in history.

[odog11]

Should have hedged after the 1st period, could have gone for a nice middle at that point even. If you didn't do that swallow the juice and hedge before the 3rd, no-brainer. Or if you had live betting during periods some point during the 2nd hedge would have been in order.

[jpete1966]

Had Denver -3.5

Had Northwestern +4.5

Had Boston Game 3 up 3-0. Came home from work. Go to log on and hedge bet and as soon as I went to submit line froze and Longoria hit 3 run home run.

Lost even though my team pitched a no-hitter. Figure that one out.

The worst I had in recent memory (besides that Ohio State game) was an Angels baseball game this year. I was on vacation in a casino and had all of my losses riding on this game. It's not on t.v., so I'm up in the room watching it on an Ipad. Angels were up by 5 or 6 in the ninth, 2 outs and two strikes. Long story short every batter got to two strikes and got on base. Went to extras and lost. Horrible thing to watch on a gamecast.

Stuff like this happens all the time. If you are on the winning side you forget the bet the next day and move on. Losing side and it sticks with you forever.

[Regul8er]

Brutal loss, no question.....but Ive had several worse.

A college basketball game between Florida and Ole Miss I believe about 4 years ago. I had under the total, and Florida had like a 15 point lead. For some reason Ole Miss just kept fouling and hitting 3's in a meaningless situation. I believe they scored in the neighborhood of 30 points in the last 90 seconds of a game that was completely out hand. Wasn't a massive bet, but took time to get over it.

Seto...I lost on that Grizzlies game as well......and I think I was in an all-in situation. Actually fell asleep when they up about 30 late in the 3rd. When I logged in to my account the next morning, I actually called because I knew my wager won and that it was graded incorrectly. It took hours before I realized I wasnt dreaming.

Brutus....I as well lost on this game. I think it was a Sunday night game for some reason. I absolutely lost my mind.
If I remember correctly, it was the first game of the year, and it was about a 70 yard TD return on 4th down.

[Regul8er]

This is not good that I've been on the same side of 2 horror stories mentioned.....and I had forgotten these because they aren't even near the top of my list, haha.

I remember having Rajeev Ram a few years ago in tennis, up 5-0 in the 3rd set, with match points on the 6th game. He lost the 3rd set 5-7.

[paw]

I have a friend of a friend whom baby daddy's cousin who lives next door to his auntie's big brother that has his 3rd cousins sister in law staying at the house and she just moved from her great grandma's house which was owned by her uncle and he lost a 2.00 parlay wager on an NBA game from 25 years ago. ? What is Your POINT ????????????????

[The iron sheik]

If I recall correctly some people played the under in this one, and while I loathe baseball I think this qualifies for the shittiest bad beat of all time:

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/c...ng-game-060513

[jpete1966]

I was also on the wrong side of that Pittsburgh game where Troy Polamalu intercepted for a td and refs said it didn't count at the end of the game and an NBA under on a game refereed by Tim Donaghy. I had something ridiculous like 18 points to give up in 12 seconds. He must of called 8 or 9 fouls at the end to put it over. Both outcomes were winners but changed directly by the officials.

[keyboarding]

No one bets that much on salamis.

He should have look into live betting hedge options.

Your friend sounds like a hamburger.

God bless.

[yisman]

I have had multiple losses worse than that this year alone.

I had 42 betpoints on the grand salami under

The Ohio State game cost me about a thousand dollars, though. That one stung.

[TonyTall]

not that bad a beat for hockey totals. i once had a huge parlay would have paid me like $400 at 5dimes the last leg was a kings game i teased the under to 7.5..............0-0 halfway thru the game. i got up from the couch and was loving life. i was loving watching a game that was half over getting the u7.5 in a huge parlay. so i started walking around the house doing chores ect and the teams just kept scoring. 1 goal who cares. 2 goals yeah whatever. 3 goals hey wtf stop. 4 goals and then a slew of more goals game ended up like 5-4 i was crushed

[konck]

i bet Rocket 200 dollars your buddy bet under 50 on that PROP bet i took a bad beat I forgot the juice his bet was 55

I had the under in this game. I laughed my ass of when it lost. Wasn't even mad. As long as you bet within your bankroll things like that shouldn't bother you.

[krk1030]

I had a parlay that payed 4:1 on the seahwaks/packers game last year. packers ml. everything else had already hit.

so yeah, that was way worse.

damn, I forgot about that one. I was on that one too. I think I've been on the wrong end of every memorable game. Some lucky SOB out there was probably just the opposite and remembers all of those as the greatest wins of his life.

[ThaTopMoron]

My friend bet 5 figures on the Grand Salami in the NHL Under 44.5 goals. After 7 games the total was at 35. He just had one more game that had to have 9 goals or less. What happened? Sharks just won 9-2 to push the total over and make my friend lose. My friend is going insane right now and he said he might never be the same person when he wakes up next time. Anyone else suffer this defeat tonight like my friend?
