      By final score, I guess it would be Michigan -7 against Oregon. Pittsburgh +7 @ Virginia wasn't close either.

        The bet I regretted this season the most because I think my reasoning just plain sucked was Week 5 Clemson -2½. I went 5-1 that day and felt like i lost over one stupid loss because I knew I had made such a major mistake in that one. It was not one of those oh well i ****ed up, I just read my whole write up later and was like "did I actually write this"

        Worst bet of my life I can't even recall the team any longer it was maybe 4 years ago. I bet a -4000 ML and lost 60% of my bankroll and the only thing that saved me was that the other 40% was tied up in a middle or arb or something like that. Its all fuzzy I did not bet for like a month I just let my money sit in my accounts and had trouble getting up in the morning. I still bet those things some times when they are -2000 but have value but it is 2 units to win .10u type thing now. Once time learning that lesson was enough.

                OSU both championship games, taking NEB too late to get 4 points in their bowl game against Auburn, and lastly, Texas AM against UM a few weeks ago. Over at the half. I could go on, but time would run out and I would get carpel tunnel.

                        If memory serves me, yes I have Doc. I was one of the few on here that had Oregon vs. Michigan, and I won playing against Minnesota their first few games. Not to mention Florida in the BCS game.

                          Betting the Ball State Money line vs Central Michigan this last saturday. Man I felt stupid, Made the bet last second too. Ruined my whole day, Made another stupid bet to chase, LSU Money line, Even though LSU pulled it out, I felt Stupid again.

                              had C Mich +13 +102 and liked it. Then about 1 hr before game I saw line changes that made me think line would go up and at the same time I saw I could get Ball -13 +105. I took that for a nice little arb, planning to bet C Mich again later at what I figured might be at worst around what I originally had. I don't even know what the final odds were because I got distracted and got back about 3 minutes too late to bet C Mich again. Of course they won big. At least I set up the arb for all profit on C mich, none on Ball. My lesson to myself : don't get too fancy trying to improve a bet you like.
                              The only consolation ---- I had CMU in BTP and had a perfect score this week for 9th place and prize money.

                                    Philly at the NY Giants last Sunday night. Can't get any dumber than laying points on the road with an Andy Reid coached team with McNabb at quarterback. Add in no talent on offense and you wonder what was I thinking.

                                                    Ditto. I compounded my error by coming on this board, explaining why I bet USC, and suggesting that for the reason I gave it seemed a decent bet.

                                                      Denver vs San Diego. I had Denver for some stupid reason and it was a blowout. Worst bet of the year for me thus far.
