If so what was the amount you came home with?

I bring this up because I thought I bet the Braves/Fish total, but by mistake bet the Braves mL. (it wont be any major dollars though)

YES....

My most outrageous story was a MIDDLE I thought I was getting in NCAAF last year....

-1.5 vs +3.0

I put 3K on each side......


LO AND BEHOLD, I accidentally the first wager placed was accidentally a FIRST HALF WAGER & the second was a FULL GAME wager, what a huge mistake.

they both won. :dancefool

(ive got several stories that went the other way aswell)

Yeah a few times. More than anything though I have been caught with one side of a scalp, especially when I was starting out, bet the hot side but still not be able to execute the other side. One I remember in particular was accidently betting a game 3 minutes after it started, went in fine though at one side but not the other. LOL. When those games win you feel like a champ. And oh yes, had to eat a few along the way that did not make it home. Those mistakes hurt, one screw up will more than ruin your week.

Been on both sides, but there's nothing better than trying to figure out why your figure is so much lower than the one the book has & then finding out you had the other side & won.

When I was in high school, I had one game left on a 5-game parlay for $800 when I noticed my last game was accidentally opposite -- I meant to bet the Oilers/Capitals game Under but my ticket said 'Over'.

I hedged and bet $600 with my local on the Under (which I was what I wanted in the first place), and the game of course came in as an Over. I only won $200. Should not have mucked with my ticket, I guess, but who knew?
