As an Illinois basketball fan, I had big money on the ML of this game.

Game was crazy. Deron Williams, Luther Head, and Dee Brown... ugh, Illinois basketball needs to come back. Glad they won you some money though. Hope you didn't bet on them against UNC though... that game was unwinnable 5 on 8.

For me it was this.

The situation:
July 25, 2008. I had Jays. Jays had been trailing almost the entire game. They tie it up in the 8th to take the game to EI. Mariners get a run in the top of the 10th. Jays come up, manage to get bases loaded but also had 2 outs, trailing by 1 run. My heart was racing when Inglett stepped up to the plate. Then this happened.

One of the luckiest wins ever! 9/10 Ichiro catches that. Bounced off his freaking glove it looks like, unbelievable. Was also the most I've ever won on a single wager, so that added to the excitement.

Had like 40% of my bankroll on Warren...still can't believe it ended like that.

LOL, yeah, didn't expect that kind of play out of Ichiro, definitely not 3 years ago.

Had a total degen parlay 4 years ago. 7 teams to win about 4k. Last game was the browns moneyline. The kicker hits the support bar and the ball comes out. They rule it no good and the other team celebrates and goes into the locker room. Then they reviewed the play and the rules and ruled it good. The browns won in OT.

[Rich Boy]

Had Steelers -3.5 2 years ago

Steelers score a TD to take the lead, but then give it right back on a kick-off return for a TD

Steelers up 3 at this point, even if they get the ball back they probably just run it out. Somehow they recover a fumble off Favre and return it 80+ yards for a TD to win by 10 and cover ATS

Can you find the highlights of it? That sounds hilarious.

For the most exciting moments to occur, you need to be losing your bet for most of the game.

Oh shit, I remember this! Great stuff!

[Golden Bullet]

It was 1987 January 11 I'm in Vegas, the guys back home patiently wait for my call. I phone bet Denver. The Drive begins with 5 minutes left Clev. had never allow 100 yds all year never mind in one rush. I'm DONE. During the game I felt like I was the only one who bet Denver.
I put big money on the game and so did the guys back home with the books. Give me a double. Then the Drive and the Win. I cancelled the car to go to the Grand Canyon. Took myself to a couple of shows and jumped a flight home, to a hero's welcome, and a big party. You see they all liked Clev. and changed their bet when I told them Denver. Very exciting to be their and WIN.

Blazers ML. Brandon Roy saves the day.

[ProfaneReality]

had the boise st. ml to close out a parlay against oklahoma

same here, but was just a straight wager...what a fukkin roller coaster of emotions

[brooks85]

one of the best comebacks ever

action starts about 3:06 mark of the youtube video, that was after 4 rounds of the say stuff by the guy on top

[Brock Landers]

i had the bears here...even after coming all the way back they fell short. But the guy who caught the ball will always be a cool reminder of the fall of 1995

[brooks85]

^tosh needs to find that guy

[Junkyard Dog]

what a fukkin roller coaster of emotions

seriously, the highs and lows of that game were incredible

i dont even have a comparable second place choice

Yep, winning a bet that seems dead feels like free money.

Losing a bet that feels like its in the bank feels like someone stole from you though.

Have had guys hit a couple half court shots to win 1st half bets the biggest was Baron Davis against the Warriors in the playoffs

[kerrywoodwins20]

And I find this kind of cool... the game Kobe scored 81 points I took him over like 33 or 34 points or something as a prop bet.

screen shot or it didnt happen. #AIR

[rm18]

Though one of the most unreal bets I had was actually a push but I had no chance to push it looked like. I bet Michigan +11 1st half against the #1 team in the country Kansas and they were down either 21 or 22 point with a couple minutes left in the half and then go on a big run to close the half and push it.

[rm18]

how are you going to get a shot of a bet from 5 years ago profane unless you saved up but really no reason to

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Brock, that was a great game. Steve Dahl had that guy on his morning show the next day.

Dont mind him, he has been following me around humping my leg for a few days now.

was a joke.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Colorado +4 at Mich. Kordell Stewart hail-mary to Westbrook.

[Glitch]

most exciting was lebron leading the cavs back against the clippers from down 16 in the 4th quarter with cavs ML to finish a 8-team parlay.

also the last two superbowls ive predicted the person to score the first touchdown correctly. pierre garcon, jeordie nelson- thats fun and exciting even if you dont put much on it, plus it makes you look like a football guru.

[Sunde91]

Dallas Mavs ML Game 2 Finals, though not big, $200

but it bore more weight for me as a life long Mavs fan. I put a whole in my wall after slapping it open handed in mania after Dirk hit the go ahead 3. That was the point where I went from despair and belief they would lose series to conviction they would win it
