everyone loves a good bad beat story. that's what makes this thread so great, no? well, i've got one for you. maybe. if Buffalo can't cover 4 or unfathomably loses to the Patriots at home, then this post won't be nearly as entertaining. but for the sake of this story, let's assume that Buffalo will win by more than 4.
see this bet right here? 👆
Cincy, check
Philly, check
now to Arizona.
they were down 30-27 with :02 left. they lined up for a 58-yd field goal to tie the game. if the kicker misses, i win. but even if he doesn't, the only way i lose is if Carolina scores a touchdown in OT.
Chad Ryland, the Cardinals kicker, makes the bomb.
when it went to OT, the odds of me winning were still quite high because i was getting 5 points. if AZ scores a TD, i win. if AZ kicks a FG, i win. if Carolina kicks a FG, i win. if they tie, i win. the only way i lose is if the Panthers stick one in the house.
sometimes you can just feel the bad beat brewing. and boy did i feel it. i knew i was cooked. the little voice in my head was saying, "you're dead."
Carolina got the ball first in overtime and went 3 & out. that's good.
then Arizona got the ball. one first down, then the drive stalled. that's not exactly good, but not terrible.
with 4:11 left, Carolina got the ball a second time at Arizona's 49. a FG wins the game. all i have to do is avoid a house call.
the Panthers broke off a 28-yard run to the AZ 21. i started chuckling. here it comes, i thought. i had zero faith in Arizona simply stopping a couple of obvious runs -- 3 max -- to force a FG. right on cue, on the very next play Chuba Hubbard breaks two tackles and walks into the end zone. 36-30.
it was so weird watching that play because even though i knew it was coming, i still couldn't believe my eyes. i thought about everything it took for me to lose that leg of my bet, and when i processed it all i started chuckling again.
hope my loss was your gain from a reading enjoyment perspective!
Lost out on a 2200 payday because Russell Wilson fell 7 yards passing short of my number, last drive needing 7 yards it was 2 handoffs, then a wild throw out of bounds followed by a senseless punt then game over.
Drake May had 260 yards passing had he hit 275 I would have cashed for 750

Brutal December gambling for me
That is a real tough way to lose. Brutal. Almost wish one never gets that close. I have had a few of those this year, but missed out on a score much less than what you had at stake.
Successful transactions:Tookybandit. "Everyone is equal, some are more equal than others".
Had 3 live parlays into GB game. Needed the over. Between GB deciding running the ball was the way to go and the NO Aints deciding to quit early I was smoked early.
Saw Lefleur is 0-4 in last 4 playoff appearances. This year defeated twice by Detroit,once to Philadelphia, once to Minnesota. Tough hole to dig out to advance.

I foolishly thought the Saints +14.5 and the over 43 was a sound play.
Here you go GRP…. vintage electric football circa Christmas 1972. I’m in the long sleeve blue shirt most assuredly about to take out my brothers team. 🏆

hey D...
That Has To Be The Greatest Picture I Ever Seen...
You have a 618 Board there...Yep..like this one...
It's kinda hard for me to incorporate my flannel there, but you get the idea...
My aunt had that exact brown & tan oval rug that weighed a half million pounds...
I swear that rug & Tudor had to be together on corporate sponsorships or something...back then ya almost needed the rug to get in some Tudor...
Lemme take a wild guess; looks like the Cowboys or Colts & Giants or Vikings...
GRP…. So cool that you can identify the board. 😀
I wish the picture wasn’t so blurry, I honestly don’t remember the teams but it looks like we’re both going to get flagged for an illegal formation.😂

No Worries about the Blurriness...
It's That Special Memory That Counts...👍
Up here in the both after further review...I do not see an illegal formation...
talk about Blurriness & Poor Quality...I was A Little Ahead Of My Time in '82...
hey D... gimme a little while...and I'll PM you An Inappropriate Letter that I wrote to Tudor in 78...
hey D...
I've been looking at your picture, looking and looking... and thinking....And Thinking...
It is Very Possible that you had the Lions & Rams...🔌🏈
Now too if your players were from up to 1971...Those guys are known as Hoglegs...like my Lions here... another way that you can tell if they're Hog's the players; mainly the Guards will have a very tiny circle on their butt, which is from the Tudor Molds...
That's my 6072 Board & And All Pro Al Baker Putting A Stop On Payton...
My 615 like this one is A Noisy One; I don't use that one too much, it almost sounds like I have a cement mixer going...🤣😂🙃

why are the Patriots ruining my bad beat story with a less-bad bad beat to make it irrelevant
