I thought it would be fun to recall wagering streaks, where you had an incredible winning streaks...
Mine started at the start of the 2003 season. I was down nearly all my $5000 bankroll betting baseball. So the first weekend I was able to parlay up a few hundred into about $500. The Sunday night game was Oakland at Tennessee. I loved Tennessee and bet my entire remaining balance on them to win the first half -1.5. They pretty much dominated the half and led 9-3 with about one minute left when Charlie Garner caught a dump pass and ran untouched 50 yards for a TD. I was screwed. I could still win with a FG but it seemed unlikely, since Nedney pulled a hamstring on a previous kickoff. Well they drove down and with about three seconds left in the half, the Titans line up for a 50-yard field goal and out trots Craig Hentrich, the punter. I have never prayed so hard! He nailed it and it was the start of a beautiful winning streak. I parlayed that $500 up to $15000 in about nine or 10 weeks. I cashed out $10,000 and paid off a few bills. It was a fortutous, since my luck turned right after I cashed out and I ended up losing the last $5,000 over the course of the remainder of the season, but at least I finished +5K.
2004 was average, I ended up breaking even almost to the dollar. Then my wife said I was addicted to gambling and to prove to her I wasn't I went all of last year without making a single wager. But I am back, baby, and this is my year I can feel it!! I have already deposited $500 and I am ready to parlay it up to $15,000!! Who's with me?!?
Let's hear your story of your greatest run in betting football...
