ALL TIME WORST BAD BEATS... LET'S HEAR YOURS

[Enfuego]

I had the WKU Hilltoppers who were up 49-14 in the middle of the 3Q of the 2014 Bahamas Bowl.

With one second remaining on the clock, Central Michigan had the ball on their own 25 yard line down 7. Think WKU was like -3 or something. You guessed it, CMU lateraled the ball all over the field for a 75 yard TD. They went for 2 and missed it but covered the game.

CMU outscored WKU 34-0 in the 4Q.

Nothing beats this! Had Dallas to win in regulation last leg of a six team parlay!!!! Not only does Stefan miss the empty net but the Oilers come down to tie it with 7 seconds left!!!! Fucking unreal!!!! Still can't understand why Stefan passes the puck backward with 10 seconds left. Leave it behind the net and the game is over!!!

Duke was +9 and they had the ball on the 5 yard line 2nd and goal with 1:30 left against Cincy tied up 34-34 in the Belk Bowl a few years ago and they managed to not cover the spread in regulation. That was a pretty brutal beat.

I remember this game, I was on the other side luckily. Didn't even watch it, turned it off and chalked it up as a loss.

Northwestern vs Ohio State comes to mind from a few years back. NW had the ball but were covering as +6ish dogs. Last play of the game guy tries a lateral on the hook and lateral and ball somehow bounds like 5 times backwards into the end zone and OSU falls on it with triple zeroes.

That play also put the game over the total. I remember Brent Musberger was calling it and he made references to gambling....and I was also on the bad side of both

I had GSW -3 in last leg of a 4 Teamer. My other 3 games hit To win $1,500. Notice GSW 4th qtr.
i wish I had video of me watching that 4th Qtr. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Yall watch every NBA game over the next 20 years and let me know how many games where an NBA team scores 1 bucket in an entire quarter. Btw it’s only happened twice in NBA history and I was on one of the games. Other was in 1997 when the Mavericks did it.

I've been on an over where a team scored 6 in the 4th.
2 is just another level though.

That sure is a qualifier, Bourn. That totally sucks.

I've told this one a few times but I'll tell it again. I had UNC like -16 or something on a West Coast bail out special at UCSB or some shit California team like that.

UNC was up 18 with .30 left in the game. The kid from UCSB misses the shot so UNC will just dribble it out right? No fouls and the game will be over right? Well, UNC had just put in all the white scrubs and this PG gets all excited to get a rebound and starts dribbling and the ball literally goes off his foot out of bounds with like 0.5 to go.

You guessed it, UCSB inbounds the ball and the kid drains about a 30 footer to end it.

Opening Day 1999, back when I was a parlay bettor. I had a 4 team, 7 team and a 10 team parlay going with $50 on each one. Every game was going 100% as planned. Among the many games I was on I had the Redskins, who were 2.5 point home favorites over the Cowboys. The score after three quarters was Redskins 35, Cowboys 14. So what happens in the 4th quarter? Cowboys score 21 points, Redskins score none, the game goes to overtime and fucking Aikman hits Rocket Ismail for a 76 yard TD. Game over. I hit every other game that day. Every one.

Ran the numbers one day. Home teams that lead by 17 points or more heading into the 4th quarter are 43-1 SU & ATS in week one since 1994. 43-1. That hurt for quite awhile.

Back in the day I would bet Proline because they had nice lines. Was cashing some nice tickets and decided to go for a 6 gamer. I believe it would have paid out approximately $3k. I lost the parlay on this game:

Took the under 5.5.

After that I quit cold turkey betting Proline.

i have three that i don't see mentioned here and two of them apply to me only most likely but here they are.

1) anybody remember the 13 point victory in overtime by ariz st over usc in a game in which usc had gotten steamed from almost +10 down to around +5

2) patriots are playing fortyniners i have patriots +4.5 points in the first half. sfran is at the twenty going in and the score is tied. they get stopped and it is fourth down with
less than ten seconds remaining. fortyniners line up for the field goal no way sfran will fake it.
sfran doesn't fake it. instead they muff the snap, the holder rolls out and throws the ball into the end zone for a td. fortyniners win the half by seven.

3) this one is about as hard to not win as any i have ever made. dodgers and cardinals in dodger stadium when nomo was at his peak. dodgers were a big favorite like 220 to 240 and the total closed about 7un30. my bet was cardinals +2 runs even money and under 7.5 flat. (can't beat the value)
cardinals take a 1-0 lead into the top of the ninth after several controversial plays in the bottom of the eighth. cardinals get an insurance run in the top of the ninth and my 2-0 lead is looking pretty good. i figure the only way to not win is if they tie it up and then hit a grand slam. well here is what happens:

the first batter gets retired on another controversial play the manager comes out to argue and gets ejected. another player continues the argument and gets ejected as well. the fans greatly dismayed at this point begin pelting the field with baseballs in protest. (it was ball day at dodger stadium). after issuing a warning to fans they continued to throw balls out on to the field so the umpires declare a forfeit to insure the safety of the cardinal players on the field and the game ends 2-0 cardinals.

because the last two outs were not played i only get a push on both bets no action run line no action total.

it was small money but a bad beat nonetheless

1- I was at that ASU-USC game...My friend had USC +7..the game goes to overtime and he tells me he can't lose and I agree with him..SC scores first to go up 7. Then ASU scores to tie..Then ASU scores to go up 7. SC has the ball and Sean Salisbury was their QB..He throws an int and Courtney Jackson (who?) takes it back for a score to win by 13..Has to be the only time in history a team getting 7 loses in OT
