When was the last time you chased and got burned with a sizable wager?

Bout 3 years ago for me.  

 

Was in Vegas on an NFL Sunday.  Got buried in the sportsbook betting NFL games.  Lost about $600.  

 

Drunk.  Said fuck it.  Went to ATM to get out another $500.  Gonna win it all back on New England -3ish vs SF at home on Sunday night football.  

 

After being down 3 or 4 TD's in the 1st half, NE came all the way back in the 2nd half and was even covering at one point.  I was teased as SF eventually won straight up.  Put my career record on wagers over $500 at like 0-8.  

 

Put a $330 wager on ASU @ UCLA 2 years ago in Laughlin.  Won that.  That's really the last time I've bet considerable money on a game.  Most wagers in Vegas now in the $22-$55 range.  Will go $110 if I really like something.

Oh yeah.   I was in Vegas at the Rio for that one.  I was also on the wrong side of one of the worst bad beats of all time.

 

Even people on the local Vegas radio shows the next moring said that was the sickest beat they have ever seen.

Duke was up and Cincy guy busted like a 86 yd td run and the idiot threw a pick 6 after a personal foul that extended the drive ..... I felt sick...

 

The whole scenario was stupid.  Duke up by like 7.  With the ball.  Getting 9 or 10 points.  With only a couple of minutes left.  

 

Horrible beat.

Was once on the right side of one of those.

 

Year was like 1999.  MNF.  Bills at Cardinals.  My buddy from Buffalo and I were at the Mirage.  We bet Buffalo.  As did 90% of the people in the Book.

 

Buffalo covering all game.  Jake Plummer and the Cardinals get the ball with a couple minutes left down a couple of scores.  They go right down the field and score to cover the spread with only a few ticks left on the clock.  Every one in the book is fucking pissed.  Ripping up tickets. 

 

Onside kick coming.  Only ONE fucking way Buffalo can cover at this point.  To return the onside kick for a TD.  And thats exactly what happened.  Henry Jones fielded the onside kick cleanly and returned it for a TD to end the game.

 

Never seen a sportsbook erupt like that before.  It was unreal.

Get this one I had South Caroilina a few years ago they were up 4 or something... The punter runs around takes a safety and they free kick it with no time... The safety ruins my play...

There was a bowl game this year with that hailmary razzel dazzel after the team I had was upby 35 © half...wtf...

I usually only bet totals so most of my big chase losses are stupid shit like errors leading to 3 runs or missed/made fts at the end of game resulting in a hook loss. I too am undefeated....cant remember one that sticks out because it happens so often. Undefeated in the loss column.

Back in 2000 when I was doing a military exercise in Yakima, WA. We didn't have smart phones back then. Was up 7k and fired the balance on Spurs. Started with 100 and wagered by just listening to lines from a 800 number. I doubled up every bet and got up 7k within a week. Thought about cashing all or some out, but was a bit bored at night with no nightlife and early curfew so said fucked it I'm going all in one more time as I needed a nice rush to keep me going and how good would it feel to be up 14k. Lost that evening by a point. Wasn't a good feeling and was bitter the rest of the exercise. Was young dumb and full of cum back then. Not too bad though considering I guess the outcome of like 12 straight winners, before imploding. These were all NBA games and with Caribsports.
