    Just made the biggest betting mistake in my life...

    I had the sixers in for 5x the whole game I was following it and rooting for the Sixers.. When I go in to double check my ending bets.. it SAID CLIPPERS PK RISKING 550/500 .... My heart almost dropped How did this happen? I could have sworn I clicked on the SIXERS.... Do some sites change it on purpose or have I just gone crazy?

    Very hard lesson to learn but always take screenshots of accepted bets right after you make them and save on comp. Sorry man I feel your pain.

    Been on the winning side of maybe two bets where I though I've lost but picked the wrong side. It happened to me a few times by rushing my bets in the past, but they were usually small plays.

    I feel for you, since this appears to be one of your bigger plays and you could of had a ton of ammo for tomorrow's March Maddness games.

    ^ what EI said.

    I'd get the **** off SBR and do something else for a while.

    The pain goes away if you don't compound it.

    Tough break though bro.

    you should always check your bets right after you make them. I have accidentally taken the wrong team a few times and have gotten it corrected right away. I have been very fortunate with my mistakes though.

    last baseball season I thought I took toronto ML against the White Sox for 200 bucks. Toronto was winning all game and lost the game late so I was pretty pissed. Logged in to my account to chase the loss and found out that I took Toronto first 5 innings. Lucky.

    I remember 2 years ago I meant to take Utah +21 at TCU but accidentally took TCU -21. TCU ended up killing Utah that game. And what was so sweet about that victory was the fact that my book refused to change the bet 10 seconds after I made it.

    I've done this before and I'm guessing others have, too. It's a terrible feeling when you discover something like this.
