It was back in the good ole' poker era, I was SUCH A SQUARE. The bet was Chelsea NOT TO LOSE against Everton at home. Terry and their GK were injured early in the game and Everton nearly scored...0-0.

Winner!

$500 2 Team Parlay... Weekend NCAA BB Tournament Vegas Trip and it hit! Tried to hit an early parlay (9:00am Games) to double up on the rest of my picks. One of my best days at the sportsbook. I think i went something like 7-1 ATS. Was so happy.. treated for dinner and drinks with my cousins.

But most of the time my wagers are $50 to $150... so this was like winning the lottery to me at that time!

[LT Profits]

$6,000 and it was a Winner. Under in the Titans/Rams "one more yard" Super Bowl.

Eddie was on a torture run....the thing about Eddie was we never told him we had the other side. He calls me up and says man get even the Lakers are only giving 17.5 to Vancover Griz. I called the Griz were +18.5 I loved it I bet almost 10k on the game......at half time the Griz were up by like 17 by the end of the 3rd the lakes almost had the spread covered the 3rd q was something like 38-6.

[tltaylor89]

14k On USC in the championship game vs Oklahoma 1 of the greatest gambling days of my life

[Capybara]

This is an interesting thread -- I wish I could remember mine!

I know I've had more money out on a casino table game than I've lost in a sports bet though, I'm sure of that. Have played at the $100 blackjack tables for a while, during which I've gotten up to probably $700 or $800 on a bet when things were going well. Have also had $500 to $700 out on a craps table I'm sure, and almost $1,000 spread across some roulette bets.

But I digress, sorry, back to sports.

Hmm... I think it was $600, on an NFL side. I hit it with the Seahawks, so you know it was going back a bit.
