Part of the battle of sports gambling is being hit with inescapable variance and bad luck. Injuries, missed poor reffing, field goals turnovers , bad play and countless other factors??could swing an game that is disabled to your reduction from a triumph.
Just take the conclusion of last weeks Cardinals-49ers game, for instance. San Fran was up 30-26 with time quickly running out and Cardinals (+9.5) bettors were easily covering. Until…
It could be recency prejudice but 69 percent of the audience whod Cardinals +9.5 said it had been the worst beat theyve ever experienced.
This??unfortunate turn of events??prompted me to take??to Twitter to hear about a number of the other beats that sports betting Twitter endured and I chose to feature a number of those best/worst??stories.
Tom Brady had been -112 odds to throw a touchdown against the Eagles. Hes thrown this season to 14 and has a minumum of one touchdown in seven??of the Patriots 10 matches played so far. Leave Belichick with it , however, to get cute with play-calling and twist fantasy gamers and unlucky prop bettors .
Melvin Gordon was being looked at by bettors. The strategy should have been easy, restrict Rivers game and also then run the ball from the teams worst defense. That didnt happen.
This game struck on a couple of people and it struck them in different directions, included. Id those two teams chose to put a joint zero issues in the next quarter and 35 in the fourth to depart the match UNDER with an field goal and OVER 62.
And for people who had been holding a +10.5 ticket, then it turned into a bad beat of all bad beats.
Watching it is as gross as studying it out loud.
Ohio State is one of only three teams in each of college football with an 8-2 ATS listing. Thus, adding them to some ticket is a bet that is fantastic , correct? Not to this fella, who missed out because Ohio State was shy one single point, on cashing a 7-team parlay.
As there were some breaks and wins, it wasnt all bad, however.??
Theres always somebody on the opposite end of the spectrum that won a bet while bad beats tend to get more attention.
Have a peek at this guy, who flipped FIVE DOLLARS into $63,000. Unreal.
