no i didnt and i lost the game with 0:00 on clock the team was Idaho State vs Eastern Washington I think, I State covered by half a point and ****ed me out of $500,000 since then I wont go to Idaho anymore or eat their potatoes.

I almost jumped out of a window that night but what I did instead was jack off to a porno and then didnt sleep for like 4 nights. Had me humming.

$2,000 was my largest. A couple years ago, on a soccer game. I bet Manchester United -2.5 against shitty Derby. Game was played at Old Trafford. Derby had not scored a goal on the road yet all season, and this was about 3 months in to the year. After a slow start, Man United go up 2-0 before HT and early in the 2nd half, they go up 3-0, covering the 2.5. With about 15 minutes left, the Man United goalie falls asleep or something, can't remember, but a Derby player fires a weak shot and just barely goes over the line. I'm PANICKING right now, as Man United lead 3-1. Time ticks down, and by some absolute miracle C. Ronaldo gets taken down in the penalty area in the last minute of stoppage time. He fires home the penalty kick and Man United ends up winning 4-1, covering the 2.5 goals. That was the last time I bet that much on a game. Still don't know how I didn't suffer a heart attack.

UTD -2.5 goals was prob a 1.70 quote, so you bet 20k to win 14k?

$14k US Open Tennis - James Blake, he was down 2 sets and came back to win the last 3. It was a few years back not sure when 2002-2005 time frame.

Technically that's not the most, but it's the most wager on an event before it started. I've bet more than that on a live event but under $20k.

$20 on the Over 1H tonight's MNF game

Thats big money. How come you bet 20 sbr points then? Just curious. In reality if you get a fix of off 20 sbr points vs. big money you are a smart man.
