    Me: $600 on an under chase on the 2nd half of Alabama/Oregon. Was like Under 38, or so. Jumped all over that. Easy cover.

    I was sitting next to a guy @ Red Rock Resort last March Madness. Can't remember who Duke was playing but he had Duke -6 or 7 2nd half for $4500. He didn't win.

      Something in the thousands. Don't want to remember it because it'll remind me of the losses also in the thousands.

              Made $700 off of live betting, when the Mavs were trailing the blazers. Blazers jumped to an early, first quarter lead and I took Mav ML and cashed. Other than that, I am probably one of the most boring bettors on SBR...1 unit is $50. Rarely do I bet over a Unit, or to win more than a unit/game (MLB).

                    2 grand on 1st half over Eagles and Giants two years ago like a week before xmas. Won and put another 2 grand on the 2nd half over and won. Turned out to be a total shootout and helluva game to watch. Best day that year by far. Treated all my buddies to surf and turf that night at Bally's Steakhouse.

                                    My biggest parlay win was a little less than $1500......It was on 4 small dogs NFL straight up Moneylines on a $20 bet (Something like +250,+200, +170, +160) or something similar. I was in college betting on Bodog with an initial deposit of $100 LOL........Ended up making like 5 or 6 grand between football season, poker, and basketball season all on house money.........

                                    That same year, Giants won the superbowl against the undefeated Patriots and I bet on the Giants $150 (+400) for a $600 win

                                            That is my favorite type of bet probably only come around 1-2 times a year a team will be favored by more points than I even think they are going to score.

                                                  It was a few years ago.

                                                  Packers vs the Bears, I teased it for bears and the over.

                                                  I remember packers drove it down and shanked a fg to send it to over time and bears won.

                                                  I covered because of that shanked fg lol.

                                                  was to win 2grand haha.

                                                      Mine was posted all over the forums before it even came in. Had Florida Marlins to win the National League Pennant and had a little over 2200 on it combined between Vegas and a few offshore places at odds of 45 to 80 to one. The screen shots might still be in some forum archives somewhere. Covers, RX, maybe majorwager. After I hedged about 10K on Cubs in a couple games it was still close to 130K profit. Far and away the biggest profit simply because I dont bet a lot of futures and when I do they obviously arent paying odds like that. But when I bet it it was after the Allstar break and Florida was tied in the wild card race. So it wasnt like it was a long term tying up of the money.

                                                      It was also probably the biggest and best call ever on the forums. I know a few guys who made a bit of money on that future, thats why the odds went from 80 to 1 down to 45 to 1. Canbet was 75-1 when I bet there and think they got all the way down to 25-1 before it was closed. A few other guys had them to win the world series at 225 to 1. But I figured they would be a +300 dog, (they ended up +260) so I didnt want to be locked in, but I took some of the pennant winnings and just bet the +260. Was one of my top 5 scores there also. Since it was basically a free roll and I wasnt too concerned about money management.

                                                      Those were the good old days of forums, where people could make money off the help of other guys and didnt have to worry about being terrorized by a bunch of nitwits. Also the end of finding odds like that at books that deep into a seasn with a team that actually had a chance.

                                                                I won 14k on a horse last year at belmont.

                                                                I won 12.5k on Houston/atl under 7.5 in September 2009... Hanson and rodriguez pitched.... final was 2-1 I think.

                                                                Also won 12k on Miami +5.5 and ml vs fsu in September of 2009.... I would say that was a good month for me.

                                                                    The top scores after that Fla marlin play were all on horse races. I had half a pick 6 with a guy cant remember exactly what it was a little over 120k we split, but after taxes it was gross. Then a Pick 4 that was 35 or 36K, and a twin trifecta that was 24k or 26K. Then the Marlins versus the Yankees, then probably Pats over Rams in their first SB win with Brady.

                                                                    Also had a few poker bad beat jackpots but those really dont count as bets mostly just dumb luck.
