After taking Milwaukee yesterday and losing on the "shot of the century", it made me think of my worst gambling loss. Here it is. More than 20 years ago I took a 20 1/2 point favorite in football (can't remember teams) they were up 28-0 and the underdog scored on the last play of the game. I thought I had the game won because they were kicking the extra point .Then the holder dropped the snap threw a lob into the endzone for a two point conversion.
what is you're worst beat?

#2Yeah, that's a bad beat. Probably when Harrsion from Pitt returned a pick 90 yards for a TD with no time left against AZ in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. Had AZ +4 in the first half and thought it was a lock.Comment -

#3Owned and trained a horse that was 6 lengths in front at the 1/8th pole at Pimlico when he made a U turn and dropped the rider. Still don't know why he did it. ( the rider is now a steward in Md. ) 12K to the winner purse, had him sold for 50K after the race if he won off, which he was doing. Ended up selling him for 7K about a month after the race. He kept doing it half way through the stretch in the morning and I knew he would be barred from racing if he did it again in a race.
Guy that bought him was sure he could fix him. He did not and he never raced again.
Guess I was lucky to get 7K. He was a gelding, but that U turn cost me about 55K .
Tough business.Comment -
