not only does he have to **** it up, the other team has to go the full ice and score a goal in under ten seconds. id say even lower than greears number

It's a really sick beat but, "the line" wasn't -1.5. B00T just bet -1.5 at +xyz prob in the 250-300 range. You can bet +/- 1.5 on every NHL game, but a hockey goal line is not "the line" in the way a basketball/football point spread bet is "the line".

Stuff like this is more common than you think, I think your number is pretty close or maybe a little low because it's a parlay of miss net, have the other team score, win in OT. But here is a recent example of a similar ****up.

Ah, cool. Cheers for clearing that up.

hope someone does a write up on a certain OKC game

Just scoring on the 16 second left has to be like 250-1 right?

When the Los Angeles Lakers played the San Antonio Spurs in the 2008 Western Conference Finals, it seemed pretty obvious that Kobe and company were going to earn their first NBA Finals trip since 2004. At the end of Game 5, the Lakers had all but clinched a four-games-to-one series victory. They had the ball with a 97-92 lead and needed only to run out the clock and get ready for the Finals. Instead of the customary aimless dribbling to wind things down, though, backup guard Sasha "The Machine" Vujacic tossed off a three-pointer as time expired. Final score: 100-92. The bad news for Vegas? The line was Lakers -7.5, which meant that Vujacic's shot covered the spread.

not my write up but i remembered this and found this on it

This has to win in the most amazing comeback ever category.

I think if you lose the game you get disqualified. Might win the "most amazing moment that went to waste" category, of which there are lots of stellar contenders. (Return for touchdown goes to waste because of Carney missing the extra point, Endy Chavez's rob job at the wall goes to waste because of Clutch Yadi ldo whats up etc.) I guess West Plano Texas football would have a thing or two to say about this "category". Obviously "waste" here is hyperbole for "didn't end up winning".

yep this shipped my parlay for like $500

man I forgot about this till now

also forgot about mansion free grand or whatever it was

of course I hedged it...weak

gerry mcnamara 3 pointer way back when in the big east tourney cost me a $600 parlay... was a ton of money for broke college deezy

2012 BELK BOWL

12/27/2012

WAGER: DUKE +9

With 1:32 left and the game tied 34-34 Duke had the ball 2nd and goal on the Cincinnati 5 yard line.

It was looking like an incredible upset was in the making. I didn't care. I just needed Duke to not lose by more than 9.

The next play was a handoff up the middle - standard call to at worst burn more time off the clock and at best get in the endzone for what would surely be a game winning TD.

Either way you have to feel very good about Duke +9 at this point.

But, no. The idiot fumbles the ball.

Cincy ball.

Hope is not all lost. There is still only 1:30 or so left. Cincy has the ball on their own 5 yard line, and would have to score TWICE to cover.

After two rushes and an incomplete pass in between, Cincy had 1st and 10 on their 17 with 55 seconds left.

Still can't imagine losing this one.

Then Duke's secondary decided to let the Cincy TE run all by himself down the far sideline. The Cincy QB finds him wide open and he takes it to the house for an 83 yard TD.

The extra point is good and Cincy now leads 41-34 with 44 seconds left.

Fine. It's impossible to lose this bet in OT, so nothing stupid and I can spend a little extra money on NYE.

Duke gets the ball up to their own 32 on the kickoff. 39 seconds left.

First play of drive is a pass completion to the Duke 45 with a 15 yard penalty tacked on the end.

Time out with 32 seconds to go. Duke ball on Cincy's 40.

Next play Cincy's defensive line causes enough pressure to force an errant pass by Duke QB Sean Renfree that somehow finds the hands of Cincy LB Nick Temple.

Instead of falling down and securing the victory, Mr. Temple decides he wants to get his.

He gets an incredible seal block from one of his defensive teammates turned INT-return blocker and leaps over a would be tackler to eventually take the ball all the way to the house for a 55-yard interception return for a TD.

Cincy knocks down the PAT to take the 48 - 34 lead with 14 seconds left and that was that.

Thanks bud.

Bills cover the spread......butnahhhhhh

2011 South Carolina Gamecocks vs Mississippi St Bulldogs - Football
Score
Spread: 3.5

South Carolina in their 1st game without Stephen Garcia, they hold off a close fight vs MSU up 14 - 10 when they are backed up near their endzone and the clock winding down the common man would simply hold the ball for :04 and kneel it, but not this man:


In true FU Spurrier fashion he elects to simply have his running QB run the ball out the back corner of the endzone, ensuring that no accidental second being left on the clock and costing gamblers an estimated 30mil cover

Pretty shocked to see the OBC drinking Coors, thought the man would have more discerning taste

I wonder if he drinks the Banquet Beer at Augusta National

Cincinnati-Duke in their bowl game this year was a good one.

Duke was +9.5. The game was tied, and Duke had the ball at Cincinnati's 5 yard line with 1:30 left.

Fumble, 90-yard TD pass to a tight end, and pick-6 later, Duke loses by 14. Sickest beat I've ever had.

Best one I can remember was Robin Ventura's grand slam single against the Braves in the 1999 NLCS.

The total was 7.5, the score at the time was 3-3 in the bottom of the 15th with the bases loaded. The only way the over could hit was if Ventura homered...which he did. Mets win 7-3, right? But he was mobbed before he could get around the bases, so the homer was counted as a single, which meant only one run counted, and the score ended up 4-3 Mets. Amazingly sick slowroll.

A good story and a bad story. Start with the bad because I remember less about it. Bet the under of a Min @ Van hockey game a few years ago at under 5.5.

I was a late game and I had to be up early so I went to bed after the 2nd when it was 2-0 Vancouver. I wake up to see that Vancouver won in overtime 4-3. WTF? How, ugh, oh well. I look at the boxscore and I see that it was 2-1 Vancouver with ONE MINUTE LEFT. Vancouver scored an empty netter, then allowed Minnesota to score twice in the final minute to force over time. lsfghej;ghjkshgahgkha


Greatest moment has to be Harbuagh declining the safety this year against Seattle. Had Seattle +8.5. Safety or pick 6 was about the only thing I had to fade.

SAFETY?!?!?!?!?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK THIS

10 seconds later

YES YES YES YES YES THANK YOU HARBUAGH

30 seconds ago, Stamkos missed an empty net from the face off dot in Florida end with 15 seconds left up 3-2

Had TB/o5.5 parlay.

Not nearly as much as a layup, but I'm still perturbed.

Yes, missing the empty net from two feet with 10 seconds to go and having the other team score to tied it and then win in OT (I assume) has to be close to the most mathematically improbable loss you can have.

I would think that if you ran that exact scenario a million times from when the puck was on his stick right in front of the net that you would be lucky to get more than 2 or 3 misses. But then to have the other team score from there just magnifies it even more. There can't be a worse loss than that, from when he is right in front of the net.

The best/worst big game bad beat is when the Steelers beat Arizona i the super bowl in 2008. The first half line was Steelers minus 3 1/2 and they are up three with 18 seconds left. However, Arizona has it 1st and goal at the Steelers 2 yard line. The rest is history. That's a brutal beat if you had Arizona first half plus 3 1/2....lol.

There are so many levels of brutality on this play. Al Michaels mentions that there is a flag on the run back (his exact words during the play), so even at that point if you have Arizona you are probably thinking it is a clip in the back and whatever return happens won't matter anyways. There are players all around Harrison and I bet that Arizona bettors aren't even dreaming up the possibility that he takes it the whole way (and it doesn't get called back) at that point.

Then, Larry Fitzgerald gets to James Harrison and brings him down right at the goal line, and it is real close to being no TD. Booth review...TD. Last play of the half..lol.

Watch Fitzgerald get stopped by his own player who was standing out of bounds on the sideline (at 14 seconds in the clip). If he doesn't run into him he more than likely gets to Harrison in time. What are the odds that a player not even on the field (but dangerously close, trying to get a peek at the action) changes the outcome of the first half wagers? Unreal that this guy, who was not even on the field of play, plays such a huge role in determining the winner of the Super Bowl. If this guy stays out of the way halftime wagers are different and there is a far greater chance that Arizona wins the Super Bowl.

Greatest play in Super Bowl history and it effects the halftime total. It may even have effected the halftime over under, but I know for sure it effected the regular halftime line.

this is #1 and quite frankly inec...

that empty net gets missed 1 out of a trillion

kay this is pretty awful too lol
