    What’s the dumbest thing you ever bet on?

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

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

    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.

    I once bet $50 on an esports team named "lanadelrayfans." The bet was cancelled when they had to forfeit due to one of their team members having been caught fixing matches.

    I second this. Falcons vs. Seahawks 2013. 20 point lead in the fourth quarter. In Vegas and feeling good with my biggest bet ever. Proceed to shit the bed and can’t even get a first down to work some clock. But hey Seattle goes up 1 then they have no problem getting in FG range to win by 2. I took -2.5 instead of the ML. It was for an extra $1500 or something. Got greedy and got burnt. They still should have just got a first down or two and iced the game. Bums. Terrible play calling led to quick three and outs, over and over. Then Russell Bitch magic happened. Would have been chilling with like 13K cash if they just didn’t blow it or I took the ML and had like 11K. Dumbass. I don’t even wanna tell the story of my dumbest “bet.” It was more like giving money to the casino for nothing.

    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.

    The true degenerate bets can’t be found in a casino or sports book.

    Couple weeks ago at my nieces birthday party I lost $50 on the Over 2.5 breaths to blow out her candles.

    I got 10,000 to one from a guy once that I could not name the next song on the radio.

    I lost. picked a popular Justin Timberlake song at the time.

    I know there are a gazillion songs but I knew the range of stations he had it was somewhat current pop pop rock or country. I think I was still +Ev in that spot.


    we used to bet a round of custards if anyone could name the flavor of the day shown on the outside store sign at Culvers which changes daily. Granted now you can go online and see the listing etc etc.

    That was hit several times but not as often as you might think

    and one of my favorites with high school buddies each person gets a digit 0-9 on the second clock at the hockey games. Bet is the digit on the clock when the back wheel of the Zamboni leaves the ice after resurfacing between periods. wow people around would be watching our aciton with interest on that one especially in the second period when they knew what was going on. fun times. put in $10 each or whatever.

    Pretty dumb for him to give you 10,000 to 1. Around here you hear the same 15-20 songs all day on the radio.

    Backgammon games with a degen and single card high pull from a deck wins blind with that same compulsive degen.

    He'd keep wanting to play and double up til he won. I was in my early 20's and just starting to gamble myself. We were roommates in college and he won rent off me one time and I threw the Backgammon game on the roof and never played it again.

    Online, bet 10 bucks on a new pope, several years ago.

    Yesterday, I was at Texas Station from 1 till 9.
    With a friend who was an inexperienced bettor.
    I was betting horses which was the norm, but he wanted to bet greyhounds.
    So we bet all the dog races at Derby Lane, lost every one of the 14 races, still had a good time. Had 6/7 top shelf whisky shots and about 8/9 beers each.

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

    Honorable mention was my bet on John Cena at -500 to beat The Big Show at Wrestlemania 20. Risked $250 to win 50 but at least grabbed it before going off the board!

    I bet on cricket once. Had absolutely zero idea what I was betting on. Looked at the odd's, and found some decent one's and snap bet it. 2 days later it finally was graded as a winner lol.

    From actual books I have to go with Snooker and Russian Golf.

    From just friendly bets, the win place and show for Camera Infragante, which was like the Mexican AFV, even though we only knew some of the language.

    I called the winner several times.
