playing video poker $2 denom. $10 bet. Drew AAJAJ on the draw. Full house worth $90. I dropped the two jacks and went for the big hit. Out came A2 giving me 4 aces with a 2 kicker = 4k. I was in the hole about 2 grand from playing blackjack on a horrendous run at the time and I was about to wave the white flag on the day. Left the casino a winner and happily astounded. The "bet" was dropping a sure $90 and shooting for the stars.

From a value standpoint probably a 4 figure bet in German baseball playoff game @pinnacle: Took me about 130 single (string) bets to get my money down, but they opened at -1.5 -105 and I think bet it down all the way to -3.5 -175 when the game was taken OTB for good. My own line would have been -9.5 or -10 because of mercy rules.
Game ended 13-0 after 7innings because of a mercy rule.
And a system out of 12 German baseball games paying 5 figures: The 12-teamer paid 400:1, the 10 teamers mostly around 110:1 and the 4 and 6 teamers 10:1 and 35:1.

Best bet odds-wise would be a 12-team parlay consisting out of bets on MLB, soccer world cup 2002, formula1 paying 602:1 (but from a value standpoint that bet was horrible and was part of me wasting my last 2€ I had in my bwin account at that time).

I've had a few...last year I went on a 78K blackjack run that I started with a $100 Bonus Play on slots from the casino. Hit for $700, walked over to BJ and over the next 10 days crushed them, coolest thing of my life. Biggest financial gain. Coolest bet was hitting a 3K 15 team teaser last year in NFL with the Ravens vs. Chargers as my last game. Ray Rice makes an impossible 1st down on 4th &29 and they win in OT. Coolest loss, missed a 16 team parlay, mixed ML and spreads for $25, paid $6,000 by one game. Had USU vs Idaho -38 as the last game, they won by 36!

Animal Kingdom in the Kentucky Derby......One of my favorite days on Planet Earth. Even better it was posted at the RX and some jumped on it too, including some of my family members from across the country. Made it even more fun.

A best best in my opinion is one that isn't even lucky.

Five straight times have I ever had such a premonition on games in which I had no doubt that the sun, moon, uranus and the galaxy was such in line it was a no brainer. They all won. The amount of money bet on these games is not important. They were without a doubt with full confidence the best bets I made in my life. They are the kind of bets where everything is in line and you just know it with no doubt whatsoever. We are talking a timespan from 1992 to around 2008 this has ever happened. And then...

...And then came a sixth time where things felt just like the times before...

can't recall the race it was part of the triple crown. I wagered on Da Tara the long shot, went $75 across the board because it was my girlfriends name damn horse went wire to wire! believe that was when big brown was the big favorite. won around $2,000.

the Open last year, had Els at x45 netted just under $2,800.

by far and away the two luckiest days I've had wagering and great fun.
