$3,500 on the Chargers, Flutie marched them down vs I think it was KC and scored a meaningless touchdown like it was the Super Bowl to cover the spread...

$500 last year on september 13 with the under, 67.5, in the illinois-louisiana lafayette game, dumbest and most crazy bet i ever made, i never bet even close to that before and $100 was the max before but somethign about this game just talked to me all week cause there were big storms brewin here in champaign for the weekend, tracked that storm like a junior meterologist lol. plus the week before vs eastern illinois we were dying on the new turf, slippin all over and i figured with the proposed rain, simon and garfinkle mighta reunited for one last rendition of slip sliding away lol. it was the biggest bet ever cause it looked like the mother of all lawks to me and luckily it turned out in my favor cause we had so much trouble moving the ball on their d and so did they and they almost pulled out the last second upset in champaign lol, 20-17=EASY WINNER, treated the guys to a nice nite at the bars

i think $6900 on the REDS last season against houston. harang gives up 6 runs in the 1st. i'd rather lose like that though than lose a long drawn out close game with tons of stress.

I once had $600 on a 3-team MLB parlay that would have paid over $13,000. I won two of the three and lost the third one by one run.

Besides that, I have had over $2,000 on single games numerous times. Never more than $3,500.

i remember this game because i was betting heavy on Det as well and they were up by 12 pts early in the 4th Q and that ****** ****** D Wade brough them back and yea, I was disgusted. I remember the line for the game was Det -1 and thought it was value but D Wade didnt think so....

20K on one horse race, they all ran like they should, separated by 5 lengths as the top 3 crossed the line. It was a relaxing stretch drive.

5k or 6k on an aussie rules game 8 years ago. I bet the moneyline and i won 1k. I was chasing some losses and my balance dwindled from 14k to 10K. I made the bet, won, and cashed.


Lately it has been a few $1,600 and 2k games. Both were losers. Coincidently one was last year an early year sunday night espn baseball game with Verlander pitching against the sox. I had the tigers for 1,600. They lost. Recently same Sunday night baseball tigers and whitesox. I went big on the tigers and they lost.
