Let's just say I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that on Christmas Day the first NBA game would go under the total.
I have online access but wanted to hit up the casino and lay a large wager on the under because again I knew the under was the side and I figured it would be my gift to myself.
instead of making and excuse to leave on Christmas Day I stroll over to the Casino the night before and compare the local books total on the Wizzards/Knicks total some have 191.5 others 192. I go lay a couple grand on 192 under.
It's Christmas Day everyone's happy and all is good.
Literally 15 minutes before tip the total jumps to 194 out of the blue.
Right then, I knew I was fukked and fukked hard. I knew that the only number that could beat me and the total still cashes for the Under is 193. It took a lot of balls but I go online a grab under 194 because I knew the outcome.
If you watch the last bit of that game, a lot of funny business goes on. Like the wizards up big and start fouling the Knicks with under 2 minutes to go because the Knicks kept throwing up bricks and the total was NOT hitting where the books wanted.
What do you know the total miraculously lands on 193 and Under cashes. The books raped anyone who bought the under early or those who misread the line jump and wagered Over the 194 at the last minute.
So should I be happy and feel good I was on the right side?
anyways just thought I would share
this was my worse beat since I was up 19 points in a college football game with 1:43 left and the other team scored 3 TD's years ago to crush my underdog ML. That was about 4-5 years ago.
whats your bad beat this year?
