At Pinnacle, do not remember the exact name but it was a huge Goat made out of sticks in I think Sweden or Finland and they build this thing in November and people would try to burn it down, the bet was would it still be standing on Christmas, I bet NO, and it was a loser..They had a cam on it so you could check to see if it made it or not!

Bet on a shootout in the intermission of a capitals game when it was the wounded warriors out there.

December 2005 at Pinnacle. They had bets of "will there be at least 1 inch of snow" at several places in the US. One of the places was Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. This place is notorious for being cold and windy.

I checked the weather station to see if there was snow on the ground already and there was. I then check the record highs for all the days leading up to Christmas. None of the records for any day was above 32 degrees. I bet the max.

Easiest money I've ever won and the only sure bet I've ever bet.

I used to work in the receiving department for a company. The other receiving clerk was a huge gambler. We would set an O/U line on how many UPS boxes we would get that day. Whoever set the line, the other person got to make their O/U bet. We did $20 a day and settled up at the end of each month. I think he took me for about $300 over the 6 months I was there.

When I was clerking before the internet, we used to bet on how many points off the line that we could screw the customer out of...say if the line was -1, I could get the customer to lay -3.....

LOL!

I was at Brennan's last fall the night of the USC/Notre Dame game. The turtle races have been there since the 70's.

I talked to one of the guys there and you should have seen the excitement in his eyes when talking about those races. You would have thought it was his first night there but it turns out he had been there since the 80's. I guess it's good times.

Not strange in the usual sense: But bet -250 up to -2000 for several grand on UConn to beat Arizona in the NCAA tournament, iirc they played the Western Regional final: Reason why I bet it that high and what made it strange: I put my bets in at betfair while UConn was already cutting down the nets from the baskets celebrating midcourt.
But apparently the game was transmitted in the UK on like a 10min delay, so actually the odds were already down to -10000 and 5min after the final buzzer kept creeping back up all the way to -250...easiest money ever made and bets weren't cancelled.

Other than that I'd probably have to take my pick between Nigerian soccer, under18 basketball at the Asian Cup with -80pts spreads for China, under16 basketball African Cup games between the likes of Mali & Madagascar, 4th division Norwegian soccer or somehow obscure sports like Bandy, Floorball, Futsal, Beach Soccer, Roller Hockey or Pelota.

I was haggling over $1000 and the owner of the dealership who was a buddy of mine wouldn't budge on a new vehicle so we flipped a coin. If I lost I paid $1500 more than I was trying to get him down to. If I won I got it for $500 less than I thought I could get him down to. I won.:toast:
