What’s the dumbest thing you ever bet on?

[Hman]

I bet on Arnold Schwarzenegger at even money to become governor of California. The Shrink said it was a lock and he was right!

Wow I actually remember that!

[SharpAngles]

Next time you’re playing HoldEm find another degen at the table to play the Red/Black game with. Even 5 bucks a color can have some serious swings and it’s fun to add bonuses like 2x if it’s a solid flop and and 5x if it’s a suited flop. I’ve been down in the game but still profiting because of some unlucky sob who cant find a black card. Also been the unlucky sob plenty of times but that’s what makes it fun.

I bet dog races in TJ Mexico back in the day.

[Cuse0323]

Dumbest was probably games of beer pong. I got cleaned out. Playing at someone else’s house with a shit partner. Fun though.

I once made a bet on a college basketball game.

Sigma Derby AKA: Plastic Horse Racing

Sigma Derby AKA: Plastic Horse Racing

No way, back in the day that old school machine was the shit.

It had a finite number of races and we tracked them all on a 3x5 card, with results.

We were stuffing quarters in that thing all night long, made tons.

Then, about 6 am, the casinos guys came over and plugged something into the machine. They said they were running a check.

It never paid out the same again. The races had different results than what was repeated over the previous 10 hours.

Tough crowd.

Now I see new machines, with a screen and everything.

i thought i was the only one that did stuff like that

had a serious edge, so played the camel game at the luxor to the point of almost getting a divorce

[DOM_Toretto]

Few years back I bet on those escaped convicts in New York staying at large over (12? I think) days and won. I think there’s a Netflix show on that situation now.

[JIBBBY]

Oh another stupid system I tried every time I went to Vegas back in the day was the Keno play and it never paid off..

First stop in Vegas was to walk up to the Keno cashier and buy 100 $1 games on a number sheet I made.. Throw down the Benny.. At the end of the trip I'd go collect. Never won more then $40 bucks at one time with that system of play.. I'd say I did that a dozen times in my life time. I stopped doing that after the 12th time. Never played KENO again.

[Fedor]

Think I put like 5K on some women’s tennis match to win $500. She lost the first set and barely won the next two. Lost like 5K on Fedor losing to that Big Foot Silva guy. Used to throw a bunch on huge favorites when I ran up $300 to 13K. Got down to 1K then parlayed two lakerboy soccer plays to start a run back up to 12K. Obviously lost it all in the end. Didn’t take out a dime. Good times. Bodog was a bitch to take money out of.

Woulda won if it went to the 3rd. BigFoot was gassed; one-eyed Fedor woulda finished him.

Yep he would have too. Big Foot made Fedor look average though. Fedor was gassed too. Sucks they had to call it. Oh well. That one helped knock me down to 1K but I built it back anyway. Could have been different had he won though, and added on 1K to the balance.

Those were the days.

[Cuse0323]

Just watched the end of the 2nd round again. Let the man fight! Fck. I probably broke something that night. Got so excited when I thought he had his foot, but not even close with that big footed monster.

Lol. I just ordered food for the wife/kid (family responsibility: done), and was going to watch it on tape (like Hugo; pull out the old 8mm). Nothing else interests me tonight.

23 days until LA...

dumbest bet I ever made Raptors ML tonight LOL

[brooks85]

We’ve all had our late night boredom bets on something.

What are some of the silliest or dumbest thing you’ve bet on?

betting on if perez hilton(i think that is who it was) had a picture of miley cyrus's vagina and would release it. I made a thread about it. Easy winner.

World Football League games. Chicago Fire did an on-side kick with few seconds left after my back-door cover late TD and the receiving team player took the ball on one bounce and ran past 1-2 defenders for a TD to beat me.

Happened to me also. Worst beat ever. The Sehorn run back in this video

Was living and working in Vegas. I rarely played slots, but had a weakness for Sigma Derby. I started playing around 10 one night at the Tropicana. I was down well over $100, and hit a long shot to put me up a little bit. It was 7:30 am by then and I started my job @ 8:00. I went straight to work thinking wtf was that!
