Is there any ONE game which sticks out to you in your gambling career??

[Brock Landers]

For me it goes way back to the start really..

SUPER BOWL XXX. I had Dallas ML, laid 6500, which was my entire available credit card line at the time when i was in college, i was new, stupid and should not have laid that big a number, i think Dallas was -450 won approx 1500. But i recall basically hyperventilating the entire last 3 quarters and Pittsburgh just kept coming and coming, if not for Neil O'Donnell and his INTs to Larry Brown, i am SURE Pittsburgh would have won that game.

lets hear yours!

That game seemed fixed. Odonnell threw the ball right to Brown not once but twice.

i can see if Dallas covered because of it, but they did not.

That USC Tex National Champ game
My brother had USC ML in paylays all over the place
cost him thousands that they blew it
Wasn't my loss but was an unreal loss nonestheless

[whatsgood5]

Braves/D-Backs a month or two ago.

Had the Braves -1.5 in a parlay that had all my $$$ on it. Braves were up 7-4 entering the 8th, and the usually very solid Johnny Venters gave up three runs. Braves scored like 3 or maybe more in the top of the ninth to get me the win. Nothing special, but definitely a game I'll never forget.

[Rich Boy]

Pats vs Giants Superbowl...

I had Pats ML after Moss scored a TD late in the game, lost 2k on a fluke drive.

Was pretty fkn pissed

[teaserpleaser]

the cfb 2002 game where wisky was about to beat Unlv and the lights went out and was called no action i had wisky i remember almost all my bad beats

[Brock Landers]

Dallas not only covered but they won the game, as you are well aware.

Dallas DID NOT Cover that game...

[jjgold]

Orange Bowl A few years back and got buried. I tried getting back approx 30,000 I lost the entire year on one bet. I never recovered.

Bet with your head and not over it.

[thebayareabeast]

Dallas DID NOT Cover that game...

Dallas won 27-17...

I don't remember them being a DD favorite in that one

[whatsgood5]

Most idiotic post of the year! You win the IPOY award!

[minet123]

Villanova/Georgetown:Had Hoyas minus the points and we all know how that turned out and what makes it worse is I was living 4 block from Nova's campus, plus I was good friends with the team manger...well everyone remembers the Sports Illustrated article on Villanova's "vices" how can you play like that after that kind of binge...and thats all I have to say about that

Sunday Night Football game Siants/Rams..the game that made Jim Rome famous with the Chrissy Everett interview later in the week ON THE WRONG SIDE AGAIN

[Brock Landers]

Most people tend to remember the bad beats more than their big wins...

[BurtRapp]

Robin Ventura Grand slam game. I had a 100.00 on it but still I remember it like it was yesterday!!!!

[LostBankroll]

Texas vs Oklahoma last yeaars at the Cotton Bowl. Line was Texas -3. I remember I KNEW Texas would win, but I bought the half point just incase. I RARELY buy points but felt that if anything this was the game to buy the half point. Took Texas -2.5 -120 and they won by 3. Game was crazy low scoring could have ended either way. Glad I was on the right side on this one.

[Chi_archie]

it was college...was a hell of a day, like i said, one of those days when all the planets aligned.

I remember how sick i felt that they blew the -7 and then i was horrified when the blew the entire game. I wasn;t betting on it, but i had a vicarious bet because he had so much on it. That showboating piece of crap Reggie Bush ruined that entire game when he fumbled inside the Texas 20 on that big play in the first half where he tried to be 'show time' and didnt take care of the ball. Remember that fumble?

[will2survive]

THIS IS EASY --too many games for one game to stick in my mind

[Chi_archie]

Brock do you recall your worst gambling day?

[Brock Landers]

Brock do you recall your worst gambling day?

well maybe not the worst "day" remember one of the worst beats i ever had.

Was back in Nov 07...

Florida St AT Boston College.

Seminoles' interception ends BC's perfect season

It was over when... Geno Hayes intercepted a Matt Ryan pass and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown to give the Noles a 27-17 lead with just over a minute remaining.
Gameball goes to... Drew Weatherford. The junior quarterback completed 29 of 45 passes for 354 yards and two TDs. He was the team's second-leading rusher, as well.
Stat of the game... 1999. The last time Florida State won a road game against a top-five team, the year was 1999 and Cher's "Believe" was rocking the airwaves.

BOSTON (AP) -- There goes another No. 2.
Geno Hayes returned Matt Ryan's third interception for a 38-yard touchdown with 1:10 to play on Saturday night to help Florida State beat second-ranked Boston College 27-17, ending the Eagles' run at an unbeaten season and shaking up the BCS standings yet again.
With the loss by BC (8-1, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), only Ohio State, Kansas and Hawaii remain unbeaten. A handful of one-loss teams -- LSU, Oregon and Oklahoma among them -- had their hopes for reaching the Bowl Championship Series title game aided by Florida State. LSU will probably take second-place behind Ohio State in the BCS standings when they come out Sunday.
"This does not deter us from what we want to do," BC coach Jeff Jagodzinski said, "and that's win the ACC championship."
The No. 2 team in The Associated Press Top 25 lost three consecutive weeks before Boston College took over the second spot on Oct. 21 and held on with a comeback victory over Virginia Tech last week. Southern California, California and South Florida were the others to lose as No. 2.
Drew Weatherford completed 29-of-45 passes for 354 yards for Florida State (6-3, 3-3), hitting Preston Parker nine times for 93 yards and a touchdown and De'Cody Fagg on six catches for 111 yards and a TD.
Ryan finished 25-for-53 for two touchdowns and 415 yards -- his fourth career 400-yard game, tying Doug Flutie for the most in school history.
But his interceptions were costly.
"One of the things you can't do, I don't care what level you're on, you can't turn the ball over," Jagodzinski said. "We had four."
Ryan was picked off once in the first quarter inside the Seminoles 10. He also threw an interception early in the third that allowed Florida State to move into position for a 40-yard field goal that made it 10-0.
It was the second consecutive game BC trailed 10-0 before mounting a rally: The Eagles spotted Virginia Tech a two-score lead on Oct. 25 before Ryan threw two touchdown passes in the final 2:11 to vault himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation.
This time, he had more than 20 minutes to work with.
"You can never count out Matt Ryan and BC," Weatherford said. "I was nervous the whole time. He's a great player, he's led his team back before and I knew he could do it again. I was nervous until the final play."
Ryan led BC on a four-play, 70-yard drive over 63 seconds, hitting Ryan Purvis for 26 yards to the Florida State 30, and then Brandon Robinson for the touchdown. The teams traded field goals, then Weatherford hit Fagg on a 42-yard touchdown pass to give the Seminoles a 20-10 lead.
Ryan hit Rich Gunnell on a 42-yard pass to the Florida State 6 with 7:24 left. Two plays later, including a penalty that moved the ball to the 3, Ryan hit a wide-open Purvis in the middle of the end zone to make it 20-17.
BC forced a punt and got the ball back at its own 7 with 3:30 left and a chance to take the lead.
"I was excited," Ryan said. "As soon as they stopped them, and forced the punt, they gave us another chance to go out there and win the game."
Ryan moved the Eagles out to the 33 before Hayes ripped the ball free from Purvis on a pass across the middle and went easily into the end zone.
"This is the fourth game that we've been ahead at the half and we've lost two of them," Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden said. "I thought we were going to make enough mistakes to lose it at the end."
The game began in a frigid and soaking downpour, with wind gusts forecast at up to 50 mph as the remnants of Hurricane Noel proceeded up the East Coast. The rain had stopped by the end of the first quarter, but the winds battered the U.S. flag and played havoc with a couple of second-quarter field goal attempts.
"Everybody believed, until the very end, that we could pull it out at the end, after what Matt did last week," BC linebacker Mark Herzlich said. "Hayes made a great play and sealed the deal."
Robinson caught seven passes for 163 yards for BC, fighting off a grabby defender to make a beautiful diving catch for 38 yards to the Seminoles 6 midway through the fourth quarter. But the Eagles, trailing 13-7 at the time moved backward on penalties and managed only a field goal.
Weatherford answered with a two-play, 61-yard drive that took just 41 seconds before Fagg ran 42 yards into the end zone to make it 20-10.

[Brock Landers]
