    The game that REALLY left a mark yesterday

    Penn St +7... down 6 with .55 seconds and throws a 75 yard pic 6. Devastating loss for Yours Truly. I was actually wondering if anyone ever considered a Abused Gamblers Hotline? I would have been calling after that pick.

    I called that pick 6. I couldnt believe it when he actually picked it let alone caught a block and took it to the house. If I was on Penn I would have been devistated. Tough Loss John, what can you do. Happy New Year

    In the past two days...if you were on Penn State and/or Tennesee/UNDER, you might be on suicide watch. Those are two of the worst beats I've seen, let alone 24 hours apart.

    What a terrible way to lose...less than a minute to go and BOOM pick six to the house...better luck in the future...

    I was on the other side of this!

    I felt very fortunate to get a win on Florida in a game I had no business winning.

    I had something similar happen to me. I got UCONN +21 1/2 early in the game in live betting. I thought they would adjust to Oklahoma and they did. Then the QB started throwing rockets to his receivers because he threw a lot of inside passes that needed to be threaded in. So his receivers are dropping passes all over the place and 2 of them bounce off the receivers hands into an Oklahoma defender who scores for a TD, twice!!! Once to make me lose my bet with little over a minute left to play.

    I hope that QB never makes it to the NFL.

    TCU game left me speechless for hours. I even had a chance to hedge out but didnt so that stung even worse. UCONN losing like they did didnt surprise me and I got a good live bet in so just lost juice but TCU still stings today

    I was on the right side of the beat in both TCU and Penn St. game. Sorry I can't join in the pain with ya. But I've been there so many times, I deserved it.

    Penn St loss stung me hard. The final score doesn't show that the game came down to the final possession. It was a real bad beat. You know you were on the correct side and get kicked in the balls for it.

    I had 2nd half under...feel your pain. He couldn't have just fell down and clinched the win, had to run it ALL THE WAY back as my stomach sunk with each step.

    Almost as bad as this Saints game now, lol, 1st half bet. Saints up 7-3 going in for 14-3 lead and Julius Jones fumbles at the 2. Then Tampa get a 35 yard tipped pass right into downfield receiver's hands and offsides call on the Fg attempt to keep drive going to score a TD and take the lead. It's comical sometimes.

    Just as I posted "No turn overs" in a Penn St +7 thread,right on cue McGoin throws a pick 6....Unbelievable.

    I also was on TCU-3....TCU did everything but cover the spread....Yeah,Happy New Year.

    tcu was no bad beat, they were fortunate to not loose by double digits. they were out gained by a significant margin and wisc. controlled the entire game

    This was nowhere close to the Titans TD vs Colts or the debacle at Tennessee/North Carolina game where the umpire actually called the game over.

    I remember saying to myself - "It will be OK as long as P State does not throw a pick 6" as the game was ending. Sure enough, bam!

    turned a winning day into a losing day

    For starters I could have wrapped up the MW bowl contest worth over $5000. This was my top play and bet so I lost every way known to man and might have created a few unknown to man. I'm not young so I have had really bad losses before. But this one is way up there as the most painful loss in my 30 year gambling career. Keep in mind Penn St is leading 24-20 to start the 4th. Just a brutal loss.

    I have bad beats almost every day. Don't know how I lost the under on the DEN/ARK ST game today. Denver up 1 with .01 seconds left is at the free throw line and makes both shots to go up three but some how Ark St manage to tie it with .01 left.

    I was on Colts -2.5 huge against the Titans a few weeks ago AND on Penn State +6 (although just an average bet). Two of the worst losses ever

    anyone who put their money on Penn St +7 made the absolute right call. UF's offense is just plain stupid and unorganized. plus they had a bunch of def starters out. Mcgloin threw a lot of picks but 3 were on tips and 1 was a ridiculous no-call where grimes hooked the TE and went around him for the pick............if you took the +7 and ignored the "speed" hype u made the right call and will win in the long run
