Unlucky loss--worst ever

mdemps9190 · 09-21-10, 10:30 AM

That sounds brutal...I was 6 years old so I don't remember the game but I would be beyond pissed about it...USC WOULD do that though, they are such choke artists.

they were bad that year, and I believe Arizona State went undefeated and ended up number 2. I am not sure about that but they were very good and had a great year. Not sure if they lost in a bowl game.

Minnesota-Arizona in 2006. Laying eight points (I think), Minny leads 31-13 with 10 minutes left and is about to score again. Arizona returns a fumble 99 yards to make it 31-19 then, thanks to two or three 4th down conversions on the drive, backdoors them with a TD with 39 seconds left. Arizona's other TD was a 99 KO return to open the game.

I think it was an NBA bet where the team I bet couldn't cover because they missed 4 straight free throws at the end of the game. I only needed them to make 1.

And empty net goals with less than 5 seconds left in hockey are always brutal.

i got one for you guys also. I can't remember the year, but UNC was playing Clemson or NC State in NCAA Football and it was the first or second year of the new OT rule in college. UNC was favored by over a TD but less than 13. It goes to OT. UNC scores 7 and they gets a fumble or INT for a TD and covers the number. Your thinking your safe with a over 7 dog when it gets to OT. I think that rule has been changed to where, after the turnover the ref blows the play over with no return possibility.(i think)

jayc88 · 09-21-10, 10:52 AM

wow thats a tough loss
i once had a +12 dog or more in cbb which lost by 20 in ot

Giles hit a grandslam to beat me in Astros game by far my worst beat ever!! First game of a double header $3480.00 down the drain on this bs. With two out and nobody on in the bottom of the ninth, the Pirates rally from an 8-2 deficit to beat the Houston Astros on Brian Giles Grandslam.. This was In 2001 I believe!! This game wasnt on TV it was on radio and Ill never forget Bob Walk saying something like the horses are already in the barn. When Pirates got a couple guy's on against Mike Jackson!! Then boom Grandslam off Billy Wagner!!

Isn't this the exact same story I told??

I think you are speaking about the Ariz state/USC game. I don't think it was UNC/Clemson. Almost positive about this, but I could be wrong. Check it out.

Nicky Santoro · 09-21-10, 11:12 AM

you are a lightweight compared to my bad beats i've had in my career. this is nothing..

some of my bad beats.

over 5.5 nhl.. it's 3-2, 3 min in.. 3-2 final.

under 6.5 nhl.. it's 2-0 very late 3rd. a few quick goals, 2 empty netters, 4-3 final

nba under 202.5.. game at 195 with 2.2 secs to go.. a 40 footer, a foul, then another foul, then a technical, game ends on 203.

robin ventura walk off grandslam to win the over.. (big bet, too) and he misses 1b.. game goes under.

i have like 4105, but i only named 4.. and the other 4101 are probably worse than these, so yours ain't that bad.

But my most memorable..Three big bets... NHL, i have a +250 dog, +1.5 dog, and un 5.5.. all on same game.

i'm up 2-0 with 3 min to go, and looking great. now it's 2-1 with 2 min to go, now it's 2-2 with 1 min to go.. now i'm down 3-2 with 24 secs to go.. still not bad because i win un 5.5 and +1.5....... until they score empty netter with 2 secs to go.. final 4-2.. instead of win em all, i lose everything.. biggest swing of my life as they were huge bets everywhere.

No doubt they are all bad breaks. But, in hockey you must expect those empty net jobs. They kill you but they ain't odd.

In college foot you almost always win a game in ot if you are getting 7, almost always. Only two losses in 14 years. Consider that when you are talking about bad luck. Empty nets happen all the time.

autotide · 09-21-10, 11:24 AM

that sucks man I wasn't old enough to remember this game either haha

Okay, so I have a team getting more than 7 points, I think it was about 9 or 10 and I think the team was USC.
I am almost positive about that. This is the first year of the new OT rules in college foot. Game goes to OT and I am thrilled I can't lose. Wrong? Arizona State scores first and is up by 7, no problem, wrong? USC gets the ball and immediately tosses an int that is returned for 6. Final score, I lose by 13. Can you imagine?

Since then I believe that only one other game ended like this. So in 14 seasons of college OT this happened twice, maybe three times, tops. And I had one of them on the losing side.

Can you beat that loss? Do any of you remember that game?

This is one of the worst bad beats ever, but I have heard it a couple of times and might even have used this story myself. I think I heard it on Jim Rome.

Glitch · 09-21-10, 12:30 PM

al harrington hanging on the rim for the tech at the end of the game, del potro getting hurt the day before argentina played (nadalless) spain in the davis cup, bengals broncos last minute tip drill freak catch by stokely at the end of the game last season, countless open netters in hockey, dice-k walking those 2 guys with bases loaded to lose by 1 at the beginning of the summer, devin harris miracle juggling buzzer beater from half court in the corner.....

Regul8er · 09-21-10, 01:05 PM

Not my unluckiest, but one that comes to mind is Florida/Miss State last year in College Hoops.

Looking at my spreadsheet the total was 130.5. If memory serves correct they were at about 105 with just about a minute to play. Florida was up double digits, maybe 14, when Miss St. scored a basket. They then stole a pass, made a layup and got fouled and made the free throw. It then turned into a free throw clinic, and the 3's at the other end were getting drilled. If any of Miss St. prayers went unanswered, Florida probably dribbles the clock out.

Final score ended up 69-62. Guess what side I was on..haha

yes - it was ASU/USC. I clearly remember it. I has ASU and was overjoyed after assuming a loss. I saw it on TV which made it all the better. And , yes it happened one other time - 2 MAC teams I believe. I remember looking it up and I don't think it was a Clemson game.

Saying it happened only twice in all these years is misleading because they changed the rules soon after those 2 games and will now blow the whistle when the team that's ahead gets possession. That makes your bad beat worse - it will never happen again.

A faggot running back on the Colts trying to play hero fumbling the ball with 1:30 left in a blowout to kill my under.

no I just had the wrong team. It was Clemson vs Duke in 1997
http://clemsontigers.cstv.com/sports...103007aae.html halfway down at the 1997 bullet point explains it. I had Clemson and got the miracle cover. They won by 9 in OT cuz they made the FG on their first posession and then the INT for the 6 and the cover. You don't get too many 9 point wins in OT. The sportsbook I was at was going crazy with that INT because we all had Clemson.

hhsilver · 09-21-10, 01:25 PM

ronjon, sorry --- I didn't remember ever seeing it happened with Clemson. I thought it was 2 MAC teams. Maybe it happened 3 times.

iceminers26 · 09-21-10, 01:35 PM

if you've been betting for 10+ years you have at least 50+ bad beat stories, forget em and move on, will only have a negative effect on you if you keep em with you

You are right and I was with you.
+8 1/2 and it was USC vs. Ariz. St in 1996.
I could not believe it . Did not fully understand the OT rules as they were in it's 1st year. Kept waiting for them to blow the whistle like the play was over. Game was on TV in the Md. area,maybe nationally.Terrible beat.Wanted to puke.Never forget it.

milwaukee mike · 09-21-10, 01:42 PM

football always has crazy endings
look at last night, under got ruined because of overturning 2 pt conversion

SCRAGGS · 09-21-10, 02:05 PM

can not remember every detail, but it was GB and Minny about 12 years ago (i think) gbay giving 7.5 up 9 with the ball and under 2 mins. gbay runs it into the line 3 times and with less than 10 seconds left they snap the ball on 4th down on their 35 and run the other direction out of the endzone for a safty and no time left on the clock gb wins by 7.

fuk you beat that.

Jimmy Proffett · 09-21-10, 02:19 PM

My worst bad beat in sports betting:

2007, the AFC and NFC championship games, I noticed that weather conditions were particularly bad for field-goal kickers, with the 25 mph winds in Foxboro and -20F wind chills in Green Bay. Sports Interaction used to offer a field-goal betting prop, so I decided to bet that within both games, no kicker would make a field goal over 43.5 yds. Paid out about 3.5 to 1.

The Patriots/Chargers game went through with little fanfare, some <= 40 yarders by Kaeding, but no sweat. Then Lawrence Tynes proceeds to miss a 43 yarder with about 7 minutes left, a 36 yarder at the end of regulation............ and then he hits from 47 yds in overtime.

Simply incredible.

unusialsusp5 · 09-21-10, 02:35 PM

orioles vs kc royals baseball game back when camden yards was a couple of years old. was in area and we decided to try to get into game. somehow got tickets and of course had to bet it. total was 7 1/2 and of course we bet over. 3-3 after 1 inning. final score balt 4 kc 3. those college football overtime interception runbacks are worse but luckily i wasn't involved in those lung busters.

Yeah, me too. Hard loss.

Sometimes we forget that when we get a loss like that many other players get a win, naturally. So I think we forget about the games we win with great luck. Probably evens out over a lifetime.

I just looked this crap up and according to the records I found only two games ended like this, and naturally I had one.

heres a list of Historic OT games. I not sure if these are every OT game ever played before 2008 or not. There are only 2 games with a final score difference of 9 or higher. It's the 1996 SC/ASU game and the 1997 Clemson/Duke. I'm not sure when the rule was changed but now once your 8 point dog team gets to OT you are SAFE and you can rip up all those 8.5 point FAVORITE tickets.

brxbmbers42 · 09-21-10, 03:07 PM

i had gonzaga against arizona about 10 yrs ago b4 gonzaga was well known. maybe 12 yrs ago. it was in arizona. i was getting i believe 14. they were down 3 with 1 minute left and kept fouling and ended up losing by 19. i hate college bb.

the rule was changed a while back - they blow the whistle if the guy doesn't take a knee - so it can't happen again

Patrick McIrish · 09-21-10, 03:15 PM

Worse beat EVER was from a poker hand in Biloxi. I've had a lifetime of sports wagering beats but none comes close to this one. I'm playing midsize limit game where the Bad Beat jackpot is about 55k or so. I have QQ and flop comes Ks, Qs, Qh. I am praying for someone to beat me, I have my mind on the bad beat jackpot, if I am beat with a bigger 4 of a kind or better I get 50% of 55k. The turn comes Kd, there is a chance now at bad beat! I'm thinking please let someone have 4 kings, I feel it's possible since it was 3 bet preflop, I know there are potentially some big hands out there. River comes As. Make a long story short the first guy makes 4 kings on turn, the river made another guy a ROYAL. So of course I went from praying for one guy to beat me so I could get big end of bad beat to having two guys beat me. The Royal flush got about 14k, the guy with quad kings got 50% or 27.5k, I split 14k with 7 or 8 other guys. It was by far the worst beat I've ever taken, the 1600 or so from the table splitting 25% felt like a kick in the balls. They still talk about that hand, it retired me for about 2 months or so from playing it was so brutal. Never saw it coming, will never forget it.
