It happened to a friend of mine yesterday and here's how it went...

He loves to bet baseball and he loves to bet for big bucks...

His first bet he had yesterday was on the Cubs Total to go OVER 9 RUNS for 40 dimes...

The Cubs Won that game 9-4!!!

An obvious Winner, right?

Wrong!

However, he never KNEW that there was a pitching change until today which voided this winning bet...

The next sequence of events occurred last night...

He had 20k to WIN on Atlanta which was an easy winner for him.

He also had 20k to WIN on PHILLY, another easy winner...

Now here comes the tragedy...

He has a 3 team parlay, 10 to get 60k on the Braves, UNDER 10 in the Red Sox game which was tied 3-3 in extra innings when he went to bed, and he also had the BALTIMORE ORIOLES who were leading 9-5 after 7 innings!!!

An easy winner right?

Finally,, he had the ROYALS for 20k getting back 7-5 odds, who were also tied in extra innings and he had the Anaheim Angels at 7-5 odds who were also TIED late in the game...

Now if you do the math, this friend goes to be thinking he wins over 200k last night...

Well, for starters, AROD hits a grand slam in the Red Sox game, giving the gambler a push instead of a WIN because it ends 7-3...

The ORIOLES game was even more flukey because they had the game WON on a strikeout in the 9th, only to have the catcher let the ball get away and the tying run was able to score all the way from second base when the first basemen dropped the throw from the catcher!

The ORIOLES them proceeded to lose in the next inning, 10-9...

Then, the ROYALS lost in extra innings to the White Sox and the Angels lost in extra innings to the YANKEES by the score of 2-1!!!

This guy goes from THINKING he may have won over 200k to losing over 30k when he wakes up today!!! ...

OH WHAT A LIFE WE GAMBLERS LEAD!!!

Steve,

I don't know which sports books he plays at but I do know that I have heard a lot of gambling horror stories before, and this chain of events is amongst the sorriest of them all...

The only thing good thing to come out of shit like that is that it toughens you up mentally so that future bad beats don't anger you as much. Youe learn that they are part of the game.

Last year I was breaking TV's , now I only bust the remote when I take a bad beat.

If you'd have stuck with the OTB and powerball tickets this NEVER would have happened

Online Gambling corrupts children, and provides a laundering platform for terrorists

That's definately a tough beat. As unbelievable as it sounds I had the Yankees, Twins and White Sox last night but we ain't even taking nickles or dimes in my case.
That dude is some HEAVY hitter!!

If you are worried about pitching changes hurting you, bet "Action" and you are playing the teams and it doesn't matter who starts the game. I can say that I've had several bets lost but because I specified pitchers, the bets had no action. So it can work for you not just against you.
