Farthest-from-winning bet you've ever made

parlayin · Jun 13, 2008

In honor of VD's "Celtics not to make the playoffs" bet, I decided to create this thread. I didn't title the thread "worst bet you've ever made" because worst could mean a lot of things, e.g. overlooking an injury or other obvious indicators, forcing a bet for way too large because you craved the action or were chasing, etc. But this is for the bets that lost by the largest margin and never had a shot, like when you take a baseball game under 8.5 and the road team tops the total in the top of the 1st and the final is like 22-16. :103631605

Although I didn't wager on it, I thought the RAYS under 72.5 wins was a very, very solid investment.

Who knows though, it still may be.

Hard to say in actual wagers, as I've made literally 100,000's of wagers over my lifetime, many of which were dead right out of the barn.

Rangers-Birds under 10. Rangers scored 30 runs in the game themselves.

I had bowling green in the bowl game vs tulsa this year.

Largest bowl game loss blowout ever.

I felt like a bird without wings holding that ticket.

OU v. USC, Orange Bowl.

Artie Lange once told a story where he action pointed the over in a Pacers/Knicks playoff game for something like $1k/point, turned out it was the lowest scoring playoff game in history. He lost something like $60k.

Lol, I had BG also in this game. I also had Texas +3 over Memphis in the tourney this year. What a joke that game was.

No offense, either you story is complete fabrication or you mixed up the teams. The Eagles and Ravens can't play 3 OT game unless it is in overtime of the Super Bowl.

I did a 10 team parlay once and lost 9. Didn't lose much but it was ugly.

Bet Toledo a few years back when they were playing Kent State. I got "inside information" that Bruce Gradkowski was going to play when he was listed a doubtful, of coarse he sat. I think the line was something like Toledo -10.5 or something in that ball park.

Final score: Toledo 14, Kent State 40.

My buddy still gives me shit on that one.

10 years ago or so. UCLA at Texas. Texas -10. UCLA won 66-3. I had Texas. I lost to the spread by 73 points! HAS to be some kind of record.

Gimme a break it was 11 yrs ago.......The teams are correct but it was 1 OT and the score tied 10-10.
