    What's The Worst Beat You Ever Had??

    Mine I remember vividly, like the first time I got into a car accident, or the first time I hit the showers in gym class (I went to a very diverse high school).

    Bowl season. Christmas Eve, 2014. The Bahamas Bowl, Western Kentucky vs. Central Michigan.

    I had Western Kentucky -2 LARGE

    WKU were up 42-14 at the half and built a 49-14 lead by the middle of the 3rd quarter and at that point I counted it as a win and was hardly watching. Was messing with the crock pot, scrolling Backpage, you know, the norm.

    Then Central Michigan comes roaring back. TD after TD in the 2nd half. Scoring 34 unanswered points.

    It all culminated in this play, with :01 left from their own 25.



    The worst part is had Central Michigan kicked the extra point it goes to OT and I have a shot to win. Instead, they went for 2, didn't get it and I lost by 1.

    i'm sure most of us can name 10-15 horrific beats. I guess this is the most recent

    College Hoops. New Mexico vs. Nevada 2 years ago. New Mexico was up 25 with 11 minutes left. New Mexico was up 11 with 58 seconds left. New Mexico lost in overtime. Haven't bet a New Mexico or Nevada game since.

    not the worst beat but worst emotional roller coaster i've been on and memorable for me

    Steelers -5 vs chargers in 2008

    Steelers down 8-10 and drive to get a FG in last min and go up 11-10 but not enough to cover

    Last play for San Deigo with 5 secs left

    Polomalu picks up a lateral fumble and returns for a TD to put Steelers up 17-10

    the scoreboard shows it like that

    then during post game, with nothing from the refs... they just say. the score was actually 11-10 with no explanation

    I can't remember the particulars (or maybe I don't want to) but about 10 years ago I had a a college football game for Northwestern to cover, at about -6. They were up a few, not enough to cover. With less than a minute left, their opponent threw an INT and the NW player ran it back a few yards to around midfield... and dropped to a knee. The offense then took an knee to end the game. The announcers were crowing about what a smart decision that was by the defender, but any other player from any other team (except for perhaps Ivy League teams) would have finished out the INT and ran it back.

    I was at the bash for that one. Was already an epic trip with the run I had in craps and in poker.... That one was a low blow as I had about 800 on falcons, but nevertheless was still a great trip!

    Patriots/Falcons Super Bowl is an all-timer

    Hard to top that

    Especially because of all the money on both sides

    What a swing

    One of the worst I had was 2 days ago, I had Wolfsburg +1.5 and they conceded in 91' and 94', probably a 200/1 event. The worst was when I had Under 2.5 and there were 3 goals past 90'.

    Fckin Falcons. The bane of my existence. 2013 will always hurt more than the Super Bowl. Only because I don’t remember the SB. I’m sure I freaked out on here. I’d still be broke even if either of them hit. I’m over it, I guess.

    i bet 2000 on the magic against boston like 10 years ago they were covering the whole time except like the last 8 seconds lost 92-88 missed a 3 at the buzzer to make it worse which would have won the bet, up double digits most of the second half

    i probably had worse beats but that was a huge bet for me
