Was Nadal's Loss the Biggest upset in Sports History?

[LT Profits]

Excluding horse racing, does anybody remember a 57/1 (or higher) shot winning in ANYTHING?

[LT Profits]

Buster 42-1, Stanford +4000 over USC. Nadal the biggest I could think of.

For a full game line i cant think of anything. what was line when Henin lost to Bartoli?

[gregm]

What were the odds on Michigan and Appalachian state. I doubt there was anything like this match, this has to be the biggest upset in the history of tennis.

Michigan was "only" favored by 33 points so ML was lower than Stanford.

I am talking based in actually money line, not on perception.

I have searched high and low for USA vs, USSR, but apparently books didn't take individual Olympic games back then, although USSR was like 3/5 to win Gold before Olympics started.

NASCAR. Drivers at longer odds than 57/1 have won several times.

Definitely not the biggest upset in sports history, although it's the biggest this year.

[good2go2mexico]

I wasn't betting back in 2002 but how about Bastl over Sampras?

I read someone in another thread btching about losing a parlay on him. It probably added 1% to the overall payout lol. I don't even like putting anyone above -500 to -700 in a parlay.

[MartinBlank]

The Americans beating England in the 1950 World Cup had pretty wacky odds.....I think it was either 500 or 600 to 1.

And I think the USA to win the 1980 Olympic Gold in Hockey was up there as well.

The first 12:20 is a bad flash

[No coincidences]

I don't think it was quite that much, but I don't remember for sure.

Rosol was bigger. Closed +5750 at 5 Dimes, can't see Pinny right now

[The Irishman]

far from it

[good2go2mexico]

Any idea was Bastl was over Sampras?

[thom321]

I've seen articles quoting Greece as being 150-1 going into Euro 2004 (soccer) which they won. Can't find an original source for that odds though.

Yup, they were at least 100-1 but I've heard 150-1 also.

[k13]

Maybe not individual but a lot of 100 to 1 futures hit like NY Giants this year.

[LT Profits]

Maybe I should have been specific, I and talking biggest odds on ONE individual game/match. Futures don't count. Besides, even though Greece was 100-1, it is doubtful they were more than +5700 in any one game.

1950 world cup, America was 500-1 to beat England and beat them 1-0.

[lakerboy]

Cardinals was 75-1 in early august last year to win the world series.

[LT Profits]

1950 world cup, America was 500-1 to beat England and beat them 1-0.

Sounds like a winner. Other that MIGHT have surpassed Rosol if they had betting lines were USA over USSR and Chaminade over #1 Virginia with Ralph Sampson.

[LT Profits]

Don't know what Bastl was either.
