[ebbearsfb1]

September 2nd 2009

I had the Twins on the +1.5 run line. Line was -125. It was the first of a 5 part parlay for decent $. The game was an early start @ like 1pm est. I was listening at work. Minnesota is up 2-0 going into the top of the ninth. Joe Nathan come in to close the game out. He proceeds to get the 1st and 2nd batter out easily. Then fuckin Gordon Beckham homers, like seriously this is before Beckham was any good. he goes yard real deep. Next up Konerko he belts one out. Im like shit its still ok We are on +1.5, but nope Nathan walks 2 more gets pulled and they both score. The worst part was watching the next 4 plays of the parlay hit.

[nyed1010]

led to me going broke on Sunday.
Cal poly 2H -1/2
http://espn.go.com/ncb/playbyplay?gameId=310572239
This was easily the worst beat I've taken. Far worse than the second worse beat in a soccer match where I had the under. 1-1 going into extra time and a goal was scored. The cal poly beat was just gross on so many levels. They were up like 12 for the half(not the game) with like 6 minutes remaining. Add the missed FTs at the end and the pointless 3 by Fullerton with 3 seconds left. And the worse being, the line opened up at +1 Cal poly.(no joke) I had to take a shit and I come back to see it moved to PK, then I look over the schedules quickly and look over how the teams played in the second half, and looked good for Cal poly. So I'm about to lock in cal poly PK, on the confirmation page, it moves to -1/2 cal poly. I still take it and the rest is history. On tilt, I go all in on hawaii-NMS UNDER 2h and lose. Just reloaded at betjm.

[ElCapitan]

Music City Miracle. Had $500 on the Bills +5 and they go up 16-15 with 16 seconds remaining. I get up from the couch to grab another beer, silently celebrating my win. I'm sure you can guess what happens next.



I don't know why this stands out as I've had a number of bad beats but I just remember my heart sinking as I hear the announcer getting louder and louder.

[ApricotSinner32]

Had 5500 on the raptors +13 and 5750 on the lakers -6.5 raptors @ lakers

Lakers up 8 with 3 seconds left... raptors inbound the ball from full court jarrod jack dribbles up the court and throws up a prayer 3 and hits it to make the lakers win by 5 and cost me just about 11k

[james4512]

So many to count I don't even know where to start but one this college football season I had Oregon st vs Washington under like 64 it was 20-20 at the end of regulation and it went over in triple ot

[lolguy999]

Lightning vs Hurricanes two weeks ago. I have under 6...game is 3-1 and under 1 minute left. Carolina then scores with 52 seconds left, pulls their goalie and scores again 19 seconds later to make it 3-3 and that would give me a push. Nope Tampa Bay scored a minute and a half into overtime for a loss.

lol i remember that one... had money on it too =\

[lolguy999]

memorable NBA few months back. Had the under. Home team was leading by like 10 points at the end of 3rd. And i still had around 55 points to work with. Long story short game went into OT somehow and ya... overball hits lols

bud, once they tied it at 3-3, you were done. This isn't euro hockey.

[robmpink]

Years back on MNF when Pitt was playing Jax and Pitt was kicking a fg to end game. Only way Jax could cover number was a block returned for a TD. Of course it happend and Cowher almost tackled the Jags player as he was running down sideline. A 6 figure swing for my booking operation. Shot one of my tvs in disgust.

Ha, I remember that. it was 1997.

I had this one as well. Losing end. I keep remembering the replay. I was at Dave & Busters in Philly.

[robmpink]

Only a few $100 on it, but the Bills played the pats around 1997 or 1998 and the Pats scored at the end of the 4th quarter. The Bills refused to come out for the extra point and Vin ran it in for a 2 point conversion. It cost me a push.

[Sunde91]

2010 World Cup Netherlands vs. Slovakia

Netherlands leading 2-0 in final seconds of stoppage time.

Slovakia defender takes a dive in penalty box @ 2:49 of STOPPAGE TIME as the final whistle was about to blow with the next clearing. Slovakia awared a PK on very last play of game, made it.

Game finishes 2-1

I believe I had Netherlands -1 for a bad push, but I know of those who had Under 2.5, with a goal in the 84th and then the one on the final play, which has to make for one of the worst beats you can think of.

How many bets has stoppage time fuked for people? It is an unreal joke sometimes how refs arbitraily let the game run on.

[Cuse0323]

i forget bad beats easily, right now it's this womens tennis match i'm watching and these dumbfck line judges or whatever you call them making terrible calls.

[BetterBizness]

Kevin Durantula Anyone... Handing the ball off to Rick Carlisle ... Not my worst beat ever, but maybe my worst beat OUTSIDE the rhelm of the arena.. outside of the frame of the rules of sport... It killed my side, and I believe crushed alot of the Unders in that game as well... One of the dumbest plays in the history of sports gambling...

[isles71]

I remember a college football game from two years ago....just one of those 2nd half bets on the last play of the game where the touchdown blows your cover. Those suck in every way something can suck.

[xxdjstriderxx]

lost a nice amount the other day(s)

heat first half when the knicks went on that crazy run to close out the half

and another nice little chunk on phx -1.5 vs nets. phx up 3 with seconds left and nash fouls the 3 point shooter and of course they win by 1 in ot

[tony_come]

Recently Illinois vs northwestern
Illinois 1st half -6

buzzer 3pter with1.8 sec by northwestern before halftime. Illinois had the ball with 30 sec left therefore northwestern should have never got the ball back.

[Ace_of_Spades]

Got to be a late, late goal in 90+ minute.

[Roadtrip635]

A couple come to mind
2008 Had a 5 team parlay with the Steelers/Chargers game left to hit. I had Steelers (-4 or -5), looked like a loss but Polamalu gets a turnover in the last seconds of the game and scores a touchdown and covers. We were in Vegas at the sportsbook at Bally's and then we all find out the play is being reviewed. 15-20 minutes go by and find out it was overturned, the place goes berserk. It was unreal people screaming, shouting started to see extra security coming to the sportsbook. Then to find out that the NFL stated the touchdown should have counted but the score would not be changed. Score stays at 11-10. I heard it had gotten ugly in a few sportsbooks around town.

The other that sticks in my mind was a race at Monmouth Park, I cap the race and find a steal, Briefcase Beauty at 12-1. The horse hasn't raced in almost a year but only showed 1 workout and sizeable drop in class. I'm thinking the trainer has been working the horse privately and is trying to sneak in an easy win. Sure enough the horse is 4 lengths ahead coming down the stretch and pulling away when all of a sudden the horse stumbles badly. The jockey goes flying forward and is actually on the back of the neck of the horse and somehow the horse manages to stay up but loses by a nose. Fortunately I caught Briefcase Beauty's next start and won easily but at only 6-1.

[Thunder Gulch]

Horse racing doesn't count since the margin of victory is often a nose anyway. I have too many blown up trifectas to count.


The Music City Bowl with Tennessee and the under was the worst I've ever had. In the last 5 minutes figure this: Missed XP 99% play fails. 80 yds in 30 seconds, aided by dumbass spearing penalty. Clock ran out with 15 UNC guys on the field, but they snapped it with 1 second according to replay which took place after coaches shook hands and fireworks went off. The allow UNC to kick a FG, which sends to OT and eventually UNC wins, covers, and it goes over in double OT. IMPOSSIBLE

[LegitBet]

cmon post ur beats!

[LChruscial85]

I did a 12 team progressive parlay for $10 back in December and had the Kings +12.5 or something like that against the Thunder, Kings kept the cover going in to the 4th quarter to get outscored 30-20, and lose by 15 points. Cost me a few grand...I was pissed, but went away rather quickly because i had the mentality I wasn't gonna win it, but the fact it was that close killed me!

[LChruscial85]

also when you have a parlay or straight wager on hockey spreads +1.5 and the favorite nets a late empty netter. I'd have to say those sting me the most...I think one happened to me with 6 seconds left! Pisses me off

[bobby heenan]

ohhhh so many....

i remember one from college football this year....troy vs uab i hink it was....lost on a 50 yard hail mary as the clock expired.....

i remember following the game on my phone...my jaw dropped...troy got outscored 27-10 in the 2nd half to lose 34-33

TD 00:00 Jackie Williams 44 Yd Pass From Bryan Ellis (Josh Zahn Kick)

had troy on the ml...that loss prevented me from going in big on some other games i liked later in the day(most of them won too)...so it cost me a big day(well i guess not really...i just chickened out of playing them after that)....luckily they got me my money back from that one in their bowl game against ohio

sooo many to choose from....the magic/knicks game the other night....and there was one earlier in the year....bulls/nugs....where karl calls a timeout with like 2 seconds left and runs a meaningless inbounds play for a layup as time expires....with no chance of winning the game and costs the bulls a cover

i was on the wrong side of that one too!

i was down in florida for the holidays visiting family...me and my uncle must have watched the end of that one like 5 times on dvr....

the worst part of it for me is...how you can snap the ball with too many men on the field and the clock will stop....bob davie kept saying how he couldnt understand why there isnt a time run off there

[jstblaze]

think i might have the worst!!!!

11 team parlay in NFL, 10 had hit, 11th was the giants game against the dolphins played in london 2-3 years ago.

the parlay was 30 bucks or so to win 30,000.

giants ended up winning, but by a field goal, think the line was 7. They were covering earlier and the game got ugly in second half. Real low scoring.

And the Giants are my team!!! I have season tickets. And they didnt cover on the last leg of 11 teamer that would have won me 30,000!

i remember that game....wasnt it 07? im a pats fan/season ticket holder....and i do believe i was watching that game while tailgating...think it might have been the day we played the redskins and killed them.....the one thing i remember about watching that was the rain...wasnt the field a slopfest?

[jstblaze]

yep, really rainy game, think it might have ended 10-7 or something like that. Gmen might have been up 10-0 and didnt score in the second half or something like that.

07 sounds right, time flies.

Yeah gotta be cause even if u didn't u have to bet gianst ml for a huge amount

not if you were betting futures pre season noone expected things to turn out that way. Futures are uneffected by individual game lines

I attended that game.
The field/pitch cut up horribly due to the relentless rain, moving the ball was hard in the 2nd half.
