Unlucky loss--worst ever

[brxbmbers42]

No , it's 3 times. ASU over USC, Clemson over Duke , and CMU over EMU by 13





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

is that true. they can't return int for td in ot if they are already leading. the rule was changed?

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.

CMU 36 , EMU 23 in 1998 is on that list--- that's the one I thought I remembered --- I didn't know about the duke game until today ----- i think the rule changed soon after that

back to back nights. I have red sox over tigers. tigers commit 5 errors, jd drew goes 0-6 w 10 lob. red sox lose 6-5. next night my rockies get 1 7th 1 in 8th then tie it on a homer on 0-2 pitch 2 out in 9th, win in
11. Bad beats are gonna happen. And yes I did have Saints -4 last night.

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.

That's pretty hilarious. I'm sure there was more like 7 seconds left, but still

Bad beats don't really come to mind now, but I remember I had Dodgers over Arizona in April on the last leg of a 5 team parlay and a 4 team parlay. Dodgers down by 2 in the 9th after being down by 3 two different times in the game. Dodgers get some hits together, score 1 run. Now it's 2 outs runner on 2nd (or 3rd?). Dodger player hits routine dribbler to Arizona SS (game over 99.9% of the time), SS throws the fuking ball in the stands, runner scores, EI. Broxton shuts em down, Dodgers win on walk-off.

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.

You're always going to get bad beats with totals....

Also, for College I think it's still feasible for one to lose in OT with +7.5.

I believe if the game is tied after 2OT, then teams must go for two after they score the 3rd TD in OT. So a team could score a TD + 2 points and then hold the other team and win by 8.

Worst I ever had was Feb 14, 1993. Took Knicks/Magic under 200, and with about 2 seconds left, game was tied at 79, Shaq at the line for 2. Needless to say, he missed both, and the game ends up going TRIPLE OT and ending 102-100. There were only 6 points scored in the third OT, but once the game tied at 100, the bet was lost. Didn't bet an NBA the rest of that season.

yes sir......2 point try must be attempted after the 2nd OT

one of my worst just happened on Sunday. I jumped all over the Eagles when it opened at 3.5. Anytime you beat the closing line by 3 full points, you think it is a good sign, no? now everyone else was fukked after the second TD, but if Detroit fails on the 2 pt conversion, I still win. no such luck.

right in my ass

BTJ has the sickest beat of them all

[mightyminnow]

had the Irish very large on the ML for the "bush push" game against USC. You all know how that went down.

This was one of the biggest bets of my life.

I had chosen Chilean soccer league leader Colo Colo to win over Brasilian league team Gimnasia who was about in the middle of the league. Colo Colo had been winning by outlandish margins previously. They were up 4-1 until the 87th minute when someone threw a rock at a player. The match was suspended. Pinnacle's rules state that if a match is suspended and not replayed within 24 hours the bet is voided.

Also had the over 2 1/2.

[brxbmbers42]

had a first quarter over in a heat warriors game about 10 yrs ago. total was 51. this is a true story. game 25-25 with a little under 4 mins left in quarter. not another fukkin point. i couldnt believe it.

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.

are you serious? I've never won a bad beat in my life and I would gladly take a share. I don't understand how you can be upset here unless this was like a 200/400 game and you ended up losing money on the hand or something.

would you of been upset if the turn and river came 4 and 3..... you would of got nothing!

I can still see why you thought it sucks but considering you made $1500-$2,000 and none of it was by skill i would still be pretty happy with how the situation turned out.

We all bitch about losing especially when the manner of the loss is incredibly unlucky. Tell me if you can tell a story worse than this loss that I suffered in 1996? If you aren't at least 32 or 33 you won't remember this game and may not even know about it.

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?

Dante you are correct, I had that game too I think the line was 10 on it. I remember it cause I put it as a win in my notebook. I foolishly thought if the ball was turned over in OT the game would just end cause AZ ST already had the lead. Boy that one hurt. I had an even worse one with the Steelers

Almost 13 years to this date Sept 22 1997 Pitt Steelers against Jacksonville on Monday night football. I had Pitt +3 They were down by 2 with seconds to go lining up for a Field Goal. So make or miss I didn't really care cause I had the 3 points. Well of course it was blocked and Jax ran it back for a touchdown. I vividly remember Bill Cower almost looking like he was gonna jump on the field to tackle the guy. Nothing like going to bed after Monday night football losing like that

[ericthegangster]

whoever returned the ball instead of just going down is an idiot.

The meaningless Dook 3 at the buzzer to cover v UConn was pretty damn painful in the Final 4. 45-footer....swish!

I had Ivan Durago when he fought Rocky Balboa in Moscow.

P.S. Rocky never loses.
