What was your biggest miracle win/push in your betting history

kidman232 · Oct 5, 2010

we always remember the bad beats, so lets here some lucky stories. My lucky story is kinda of a bad break, but still lucky.

believe the game was uconn vs louisville in fb. I was on uconn and they were covering the spread most of the game. Louisville gets the ball right at the end of the game and drives down the field for a meaningless touchdown (only important to us gamblers). Louisville scores on the last play of the game, giving me a push. But the asshole refs not knowing the rules allows louisville to lineup for an extra point even though time has expired and it has no effect on the the outcome of the game. The kicker shanks the extra point and I got from a win to a loss to a push. In a matter of a few seconds.

not the biggest but last week had a huge 4 teamer and two of the teams were zona and the yankees.. i dont know if you saw those games but janikowski misses 3 field goals and a easy game winner. can you imagine sitting through that game and the extra inning red sox yankees game for the last leg.

Wow extra innings for that is torture.

Last night was pretty good, monday night football; miami and the the pats. I had $85 on the pats 1st half(loser) $200 on the over $200 on the pats and a $75 parlay NE and the over. Me and a friend left applebees at half time. I said this place is bad luck lets just head back to my house its good luck there. As i turn to ESPN i see that 103 year return and it was smooth sailing from there. 13 points at half time, then 28 in the 3rd quarter and the rest is history. Netted me $472 and a good night sleep. I have hit a 6 team parlay once in my life, got me close to even that week lol.

Minnesota covering against USC a few weeks ago was a good one

Definitely the miracle Duke half court shot during the Final 4. "The shot that made a lot of money change hands" They lost but covered.

I bet way over my head that game and lucked out.

That by no means is a miracle. I didn't exactly read the subject line.

biggest bet ever was on the Music City Miracle... I layed the points.. so much had to happen for a cover...

cocktailsnlongshots+ · Oct 6, 2010

well i will admit i was on the losing end of that music city miracle...but for me had to be the over in a sunbowl game w/n'western and ucla a few years ago...had the over and it was looking good til the game came to a halt in the 4th quarter(game total must have been in the mid to high 60's i believe?) then in the last 2:30 mins of play. 27 pt.s were scored..how u ask?...2 RETURNED on-side kix..by a kid if i can remember named brezelle?..he returned both of them i believe...i would have thought this only happens in 'the mac'..ps. on a side note in typical n'western fashion i think they missed like 3 extra points....

Giants beating the Pats in the Super Bowl...that counts ya? :lol:

kingebeneezer · Oct 6, 2010

can't really remember it too well, but i know i had a run-line bet on the phillies last year and they were getting smoked and i believe is was in the 7th or 8th inning. anyway, the game ended up being called due to rain and the bet was a push. that was a lucky one.

billhill999 · Oct 6, 2010

There was a game in the 1980's, Penn St and I believe Michigan.
I had Penn State, they were up 12-10 with 4 ticks left on the clock.
Penn State was -1.5
Michigan's last minute drive stalled at the the JoePa's 5 yard line.

Wolves call time out, then send out Joe Automatic to kick a game winning 22 yarder.
Your proverbial chip shot, and your pal Bill is out 2 yards, or so it would seem.

Snap, clean as freshly changed newborns diaper.
Hold, perfect as perfect can be.
This beefy PSU lineman leapfrogs the center, gets his meathook on the leather, deflects it.

You pal Bill did this all night.

:dancefool

I've got the winner, forgetaboutit

Bet Air Force in a bowl game 20+ years ago. Just over one minute left, I was losing by 15.5 points. AF was losing SU by a lot more. AF brings in a senior QB that never played a down. He leads them to a quick TD. they get a 2 pt conversion. They recover an onside kick, and then with the clock expiring just as they snap the ball, he throws a 20 yd TD pass. In those days, you went for the xp still. They converted another 2pt conversion with no time on the clock and I cover. AF however, still lost big

Monday night game between Pittsburgh and Jacksonville when the Jags block the Fg and Cowher almost decides to tackle the dude running it all the way for a TD for the cover and that just got me back to even for the week.

JoeFalls · Oct 6, 2010

had a wager on a boxer. got his arse kicked pretty much the whole fight. when they read the judges results, i got a draw. couldn't believe it..

onemwtheone · Oct 6, 2010

One that will always stick out for me. It was somewhere in the 2003 time frame, I had the under in SF@COL (one of those ridiculous 15.5 o/u back in the days at Coors Field before the humidor). Anyway the game was over by several runs, and Rob Nen was closing it out. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, two strikes on the batter, and it starts pouring. Never finished the ninth, I get a push.

krk1030 · Oct 6, 2010

Had VCU +1.5, they led the whole game, then shit the bed.

Down 4 with 1 second left, game pretty much over and the guy made a 3 from the opposite ft line.

RenoChazz · Oct 6, 2010

It was in the wnba. I needed 3 points to cover with 0.6 seconds left and they went to foul line got the first one which I thought didn't matter, the second one was a miss they got the rebound put it in and I covered on the buzzer. The funny thing is they were already ahead and didn't even need the basket to win but put it in anyway.

This one is hard to top...

Late 1990's. Monday night football. Bills at Cardinals.

My buddy and I bet the Bills minus the points at the Mirage in Vegas.

Buffalo was covering all game. The Cards got the ball back down double digits with a couple minutes left to go.

Jake Plummer leads the Cards down for a TD with just seconds left on the clock to pull within 1 score. That TD covered the spread for the Cards.

Bills betters were DONE at that point. EVERYONE knew the Cards would onside kick. So either the Cards get the ball back, or the Bills take a knee. Either way, we were toast.

Well?

A miracle happened. The Cards onside kicked. Henry Jones of the Bills fielded the ball cleanly in stride and went untouched the other way for a TD and a miracle cover.

Game over. Went and cashed at the window.
