you boys all have no idea what you are talking about. Hockey is the sport filled with the worst bad beats, by far. The only reason why no one has mentioned it yet is because hardly anyone bets it.. If you bet 1000 games a year in hockey and 1000 games in NBA totals or NFL, you will see the difference. Your blood pressure will be so high. Here is why.
Almost every game is decided by the last shot. And more important, a lot of games come down to the empty netter. And to lose a game on an empty netter, really kills. I can't tell you how many times I would have +1.5 goals, and you think you are looking great very late in the game, then the fav scores with 1 min to go, then they score the empty netter, and just like that, you lost. Or if you have under 5.5 and it's 2-2 late, or 3-1, and one team scores very late and then adds the empty netter. It is sickening!!! And what about OT?? Losing a game in OT when you're +0.5 goals.. The perfect example of a bad beat was yesterday.. atlanta is +0.5 and in OT with the powerplay, and late, a giveaway to cause TB to score late in OT and you lose. So instead of winning with +150, you lose, a big swing indeed. Your heart just splashes when you bet hockey..
The sport that is decided by 1 shot, or an empty netter. It doesn't get worse than that. Try betting hockey and come back and tell me if this ain't the most stressful sport to watch and definitely filled with the most bad beats.
If your heart is not racing when that net is empty, then something is wrong with you...
