Cubs vs Brewers game last night

That was a brutal beat down on the under 8.5 runs

Ouch!

I can relate, been there many a time.

I've had would be game ending double plays shit the bed because the grounder hit a pebble and skipped into center field for a walk off 2 RBI single. I've lost under bets the same way because the routine ground out hit the third base bag, rolled to the left field foul pole, for a double.

Your beat last night is indeed brutal.

My worst beat was about 20 something years ago, I had under 6.5 in a Maddux pitched Braves game.
3-1 , two on, two out, ninth inning.

Punch and Judy hitting, utility infielder Keith Lockhart who I don't think hit more than eight HRs in a season, golfs a pitch six inches from the dirt, hits this dying quail pop up to left field, that miraculously hit the LF foul pole for the cheapest dinger you'll ever see in your life.

The Cubs haven't scored five runs all season, all of a sudden, they think they're 1927 Yankees and score five in the tenth.

I feel your pain.

Here's one I still feel today, having the BoSox to win the World Series, the beginning of the end.

Bill was run out of Boston the next year. Bill even said himself he just couldn't live there anymore. People can be so cruel.

Sing it brother.
In 1986 I was fresh out of college, working my first *real* IT job for a brokerage firm in NYC.
Everybody had money in the mid 80's

We all were betting with the reputable locals, there was no offshore wagering yet.
Mind you, in 1986 NYC was a 90 percent Mets city, and the locals couldn't keep up with all the NY money.

Lunch time before game one, I call "Red" and ask him "What's the Series line"
He tells me "Mets -280 Sox +240

That's a forty-cent jump in price for Red's office, day earlier the Series price was Mets -240

His office had no choice but to juice the Mets, just crazy money was being sent in Red told me.

I'm not a whale, don't even pretend to be one on the gambling message boards.
I sent in two dimes Red Sox Series +240.

And the rest is history.

Don't you worry about your pal Nasher, I got a nice year end bonus, ten weeks later I got it back Giants over Broncos SB.

As bad as I've seen all season! Should have been 1-0, 2-1 at worse in 9 - If McGill doesn't get hit in his throwing arm on his 3rd pitch in the 10th, no way the Cubbies offense plates 5. The gambling gods owe you one...
