Okay wow. That's a horrible beat for sure. I'm trying to think if it's as bad as Mr. Rodgers beat though. Real close. I guess it depends on how much you had at stake. Both absolutely awful beats, but I think Rodgers' loss is tougher to take since the guy hit a half-court 3 pointer. That's super shocking.

You had that game too from 2010?? I brought it up in one of my daily articles a few months ago hoping someone would remember it but no one else did. I share your pain in that one.
However, there was an eerily similar bad beat this year in a Giants/Braves game (I remember Vogelsong was one of the starters, Minor might've been the other) that was 1-1 going into extras... you can guess the rest
I'm sure some of you had the wrong side of one of the most ridiculous endings I've ever seen. I had a very small bet on the wrong but winning side of the game. I'd already lost big that week, so winning the miniscule bet didn't mean anything to me. It was one of the Arizonas, favored by 12. I gave the 12. Overtime. Arizona scored 1st, going up by 7, then intercepted on the other team's do-or-die possession and instead of just falling down, the player risking fumbling and losing possession, ran it all the way back to win by 13.
Well it's not sports but I have a beat that is almost mathematically impossible to beat.
Given when it happened makes it ten times worse. Poker tourney and there are only 12 players left. Winner gets $100k. I am one of the big stacks and look down at KK in middle position. I raise and small blind calls. Flop comes K99. Small blind pushes all in. I snap call of course. Turn 9, river 9 and he has AQ. I went from easily the chip leader to 8 big blinds. I almost cried I was so angry...

I would like to add to the worst beats. Last night I hammered the UNDER in the Reds/Giants game. 3-1 going in to the top of the 9th inning. Reds score 2 runs on wild pitches. 5-1 now bottom of the ninth. San Fran gets on base and men in scoring position on another wild pitch. 2 outs now and 2 strikes and a wild pitch now scores a run and of course ends the game with a strike on the next throw....Wanted to throw my TV out the window.
First....Who is Ron Howard? It's that Opie Taylor? Haha.
I have had my share of crazy wins and losses. That Maryland-NC State may have been the most frustrating. But this was my far the most pissed I ever was...First year of betting college hoops. Still in college. A $420 swing was like ripping off my balls.

Go to about the 8 minute mark....Needless to say I had UConn -2.5.

In terms of worse beats, I once had a greyhound twin-tri paying 49k. The dog I needed for 3rd was 5 lengths ahead of 4th about 50 feet from the wire and lost 3rd in a photo. There were no winners and I would've had the only ticket.
I know someone who once had the whole field in the last leg of a pick 6 coming back for about a half million. I can't remember the specific details, but it ended up being declared a "no race" and they wouldn't pay off on the ticket other than consolations.

You got 40 to 1 on this guy:

That sounds like a ripoff buddy..lol
I didn't bet this game but was watchng. A few yrs back Mets vs Atl in MLB playoffs. Game tied. Game def under. All the way. Mets hit a Grand Slam. Games goes over.
No Wait.
Fans flood the field. Umps only count the winning run and everybody runs off the field due to crazy fans-thereby keeping the game under.
If you had the Over, I think that is worst beat ever.

That description of why they didn't count the 2 runs is incorrect. Game stayed under because the backup catcher Pratt, who was the runner on first, stopped at 2nd and hugged and tackled Ventura as he arrived at 2nd. I don't believe either guy ever touched the plate. Because Ventura was ruled to have passed Pratt, their 2 runs were not allowed to score. In addition, I completely disagree that it was a bad beat. My opinion is that if you played under and got beat because of a Grand Slam in the bottom 15th, that would've been a horrible beat. If you had over and won that way, you were lucky as shit.
I'll NEVER forget this beat for as long as I live:

I was in college at the time, had a great weekend. I was drinking with a few buddies and decided to place a $2,500 wager on Cleveland since I was up. Cleveland was down by 7 and already covering. They drove all the way down to the Baltimore 5 yard line with .45 seconds left in the game. Jeff Garcia throws a pick in the end zone to Ed Reed, not only in the end zone, but 6 yards deep. Of course, Ed Reed doesn't take a knee and runs it back 106 yards!
Damn, this gets me pissed off just thinking about it!!
