Chugging a bottle of hot sauce for me... Was dead broke and got $40 or so from it but it still wasn't worth it.

When we were kids myself and a friend made a bet about which of us will die first - basically whoever dies first, the survivor has to buy a suit worth £1000 for him to be buried in...

a small action play on the Pats -14 over the Giants in the 2008 SB. I knew it was a loser, so WTF

If I wasn't a Pats fan hoping for an undefeated season, I would have cleaned up that day.

Dumbest bet I ever made was that I could break 85 at TPC SAWGRASS in the early nineties...came in with a 88 one time....but I did par number 17 all three days...

Mine was about 5 years ago, Pinnacle would offer a bet, it was will the Gavel Goat be burned before christmas if I remember right. There was a live web cam to watch this Huge Thing built out of straw and hay some were in Denmark. Well it lost because the year I bet it, no Burn.

Here is a Link I found about this dumb as bet:

late 90's. I won about 3k in a week capping baseball fulltime (was laid off). Friday night rolled around and I didn't feel like capping. Saw that Maddux was pitching at home for ATL vs Tampa Bay. Unloaded the bankroll with zero capping laying -280 just to have some action while I was out at the bars. maddux got shelled like you've never seen. The game was a blow out by 4th inning. I didn't even get any drama for my 3k bet.

If you can learn something from most of your losing wagers, you are way ahead of the game.
