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

[boeing power]

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

Op is talking 1 game.

Cards were actually 999-1 at some point.

Dude won 250,000 in Vegas.

No i dont think theybwere that high.

[YorkHunt]

If you mean one game. I bring back my comment this is definitely top 5.

[CanuckG]

Well obviously it was about one match or people would say 1969 Mets too 100-1 to win World Series

[yisman]

Don't know what Bastl was either.

I did multiple searches for it and I don't see any odds.

[Dad]

Pastor Maldonodo won the Spanish Grand Prix in Formula 1 last month.

Odds for him to win that race were 300-1

[CanuckG]

Racing like F1/Nascar ....not even a sport. I heard the Undertaker was 150-1 to win a wrestling match

[thetrinity]

I think lt means one guy or team against another one, not futures or things like auto or horse racing with multiple opponents. This is definitely a bigger upset then a 16 seed beating a 1 seed in the ncaa tournament. Usa beating england in 1950 wuld have to b the biggest upset ever.

SBR odds is showing Bookmaker closing odds at 7500 to 100. Is this accurate?

Yes it is! I was using 5750 closer at 5 Dimes so take your pick

[Hangoverblack]

My local book had it -15000/ +7500 online all morning.

+7500. Of all the money I've wasted...

[maletaja]

Sharapova vs unknown player (qualifier)
Sharapova leads 6-1 4-0
I asume the odds would be +50000 to upset...

[Optional]

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

Trevor Bayne +15000 - 2011 Daytona 500 winner. (and I hit it )

[CanuckG]

Lol @ people bringing up in-game live bets or racing

[LT Profits]

I think the official winner is USA over England in 1950 soccer.

[Optional]

Webb Simpson 50/1 to win US Open a few weeks back (hit that one too)

USA was 500-1, doubt anyone will find higher (non-horse)

[Tchocky]

What was the closing line on Rosol? I got him at +2816.

Can I still claim the highest anyone here has bet on? ;-)

[wikkidinsane]

nascar and baseball dont count

[beefcake]

I think a book in the Valley Elah had David at 1,000-1 to beat Goliath.A few goat-herders threw down a few bucks on him and then retired to a nice Villa on the Red Sea..

[LT Profits]

What was the closing line on Rosol? I got him at +2816.

+7500 at Bookmaker, +5750 at 5 Dimes. Did you get +2816 live?

[HoulihansTX]

Ram were north of 500/1 to win the Superbowl during the season.

[Glitch]

he doesnt mean to win a multi-competitor event or any other future for any event.

i had rosol in 3 parlays today...all losers.

[gummo]

Stanford over USC was the first thing I thought of. What was Chaminade over Virginia with Ralph Sampson?

[yisman]

I assume you meant Nadal.

[benrama]

Rafa just signed with Pokerstars in the last week or so ... something to think about.

Silly me thought he meant what what he said.

[jjgold]

Even though Nadal has done well on Grass he is not a natural grass player

Not a big upset with tennis people

[Glitch]

I assume you meant Nadal.

assumption incorrect sir. the parlays all lost...the picks at 50-1 53-1 and 57-1 sequentially on heritage were all correct

[BrianLaverty]

Technically, Razzano was a bigger upset at Pinnacle since she closed at +6000 last month, and Rosol actually closed at just +4000

[daimoshokage]

GSP losing to Matt Serra for the belt is the BIGGEST UPSET OF ALL SPORTS! PERIOD!!!

[stevenash]

Your'e pretty much an idiot, aren't you?

[TheCentaur]

Were there ever any accusations of England throwing the 1950 world cup match to USA?

[Goat Milk]

in terms of odds for one game/match? Yeah probably considering Tennis is the only sport where they will throw out ridiculous odds like that. Wimbledon is a joke this year. All the scrubs getting fluke wins
