    The Biggest Bet You Ever Made
    $100,000 on Cigar..I owed 68k on my house (its worth 1.2 mil now) and decided to pay it off by putting 100k on Cigar...

    You can hear my wife screaming as he crosses the finish line... I fell to my knees when he was at the 16th pole..Someone thought I had a heart attack and was trying to help me.. I was fine

    Did'nt want to fly home with the cash so we did a one way rental ( Lincoln continental) drove home with a 2 day stop in the greatest city in the world, Chicago. Oh that was a great week that was

                  John Henry is my favorite..I was on the roof at the First Arlington Million- When I saw him come down the tunnel the first time I couldnt believe it, he looked like a bow legged donkey- Bill Shoemaker looked like a normal sized man on top of him and I regretted betting on him. He started at Delta Downs, a track that is so bush league that they had $400 races. He was the son of farm horses and goes on to dominate the best bred multi million dollar blue blood horses all over the world..No talent, all heart..It wasn't supposed to be that way

                      $6K on Titans-Rams UNDER in the "One More Yard" Super Bowl. If Tennessee would have scored on that last play to force OT, I would have lost.

                          They never stop.. In april one woke me up at 6am, I layed motionless and listened with my eyes darting from side to side..Then I jumped up in a rage and pounded on the wall so hard a heavy clock came down hit a picture on the wall which clipped a little set of shelves that had all my wifes little hoods, little goods and little do-dads from woods on it..Everything came crashing down right next to my wife and she woke up thinking it was the end of the world..

                          If I coulda gotta hold of that bird I woulda strangled his little neck with my fingers

                            These are all pretty big bets...Anything over 5k, I don't watch live.. I get the score, then watch the replay on DVR..One time I put 16k on Southern Miss over Marshall in basketball.. Minus something small.. We were at Red n Jerry's and I decide to glance at my phone during dinner..It was like 58-12 at the half...Something ridiculous like that... ... I thought I had my poker face on, but my wife was like "whats up" and i'm like "nothin"

                            Felt so good..

                                  $500 x 12 books.... 6 gees put up...

                                  Did that maybe 5 or 6 times in the past few years... Although I may have only been on 8 or 10 books back then, can't be sure?.. Hit 3 separate $500 bets on all books in one night in a MMA UFC event and they were all dogs too.. I just went for it that night thinking 2 of 3 would land and all 3 landed... Best UFC event win for money in my gambling career to date.. Walked away with nearly 30 grand in profits that night a few years ago. Was celebrating big time.. Haven't had a night like that since...

                                  I posted pending in that event in the SBR UFC section as well. It's in the SBR history a couple years ago.. It was at a time when T-Wood the UFC champ was a dog..

                                  I found it - These were the hits X 8 books at the time with one event... Copy and paste..


                                  $500.00 $1150.00 Win 7/30/16 11:00pm UFC Fighting 1201 Jake Ellenberger +230* vs Matt Brown

                                  $500.00 $875.00 Win 7/30/16 11:30pm UFC Fighting 1101 Karolina Kowalkiewicz +175* vs Rose Namajunas


                                  $500.00 $925.00 Win 7/30/16 11:00pm UFC Fighting 1001 Tyron Woodley +185* vs Robbie Lawler

                                      Nice Shute!!!

                                      I hit that also at crazy odds.. I only bet like $50 bucks on all books but the odds were like +1300 or more on the Holly Holm KO prop if I remember correctly, still was a nice payout even with just the $50's placed....

                                          Oh sorry bro.. I thought you ment you won and took Holly for a 10 gee payout... Yep bad bet taking Rousey..

                                          I've been fading her ever since and it was paying off.. I'm upset she retired to be honest.. I was hoping she'd stay around a little longer and catch a few more beatings..

                                                        I was in Vegas over New Years back when Vince young led longhorns beat usc. Was having pretty good weekend on nfl and other bowls (not so much at the tables) so decided to let all my winning plus some what I brought to lose ride on Texas, was 8k split between spread (+7 for 5k) and the money line, ended up winning little over 11k. Best part was it was such a amazing game with bunch of back and forth emotion, the sports book was jumping!! Couldn’t have picked a better game to be by far biggest bet of my life. That was such a great week overall just enjoyment wise. That was 2nd of 2 New Years in a row I spent in Vegas, if memory serves me right the prior year I cashed a pretty decent bet on Texas vs Michigan but not for as much. That was back when I blew money like it was going out of style, for most part feel foolish about it but I really did enjoy my 20s st least!! Lol
