Pick 6's happen every year about 100x combined between college and Pro, but in 25 yrs of gambling I can not remember but one Saftey waived off...

This is a top 5 bad beat and nobody will convince me otherwise.

#1) Cincy has helmet to helmet hit to have Duke fumble at goal line
#2) With a minute left in 1st half Cincy has 3rd and 8 from deep in their own territory, QB gets loose and they end up scoring a TD on an long BS pass
#3) Duke gets robbed on FG to end 1st half(Would have/could have changed the whole end to the game)
#4) Duke fumbles inside the 5 with around a minute left. Basically anything else but a TO here and we cover the game
#5) Give up an unacceptable TD when very easily could have drove down to kick FG. Have no idea what the defense was doing
#6) Pick 6

So many things went against Duke backers in this game. I had Duke +6 2nd half as well to add icing to the cake.

That was the correct call. You are right, pick 6's happen all the time, not in the string of events that led up to this loss.

I also thought a huge play was that PI call on the Duke freshman CB. It was an un catchable ball that allowed Cinci to keep driving and eventually score a TD.

Declining the penalty was the correct call in the game.

#1 is not top 100, I didn't have a penny on the game so I was very objective as I watched it over and over again.....60/40 at best that the call was blown.

The Robin Ventura grand slam that was not a grand slam has to be the worst beat ever.
Until someone has a team +8 in the NFL one day and then loses when the other team wins by 9 in OT.

How about the Leon Lett screw up against Miami on Thanksgiving?

Did that one impact the spread? That one had to be bad for some people.

Arizona +3 1H in the Superbowl a few years ago had to be pretty tough.

Harrison lumbering down the sideline had to piss some people off.

Did someone say pic 6's happen did you watch this game you had to see it to believe it the qb gets hit fumbles up in there air bounces off the lineman who rumbles down the field 50 yds for a td with 14 secs left... And what lead to this was amazing...

Once again i had no bet on this one but easily is the worst i seen besides the ventura

Ventura worst of all-time.

Miami vs MD start of 2011 season pick 6 at the buzzer.

Best win ever- TEX vs Oak under 8.5, score is 17-8. Oakland doesn't bat in btm 9 due to rain. Wager canceled.

Jake Plummers senior year I had Arizona State -9 @ USC. Game went into OT so I left for something I had going on thinking "fuck that bet is lost." Arizona State scored in OT first then got a pick 6 to end the game, win by 13 I hit for a nickel I believe. Don't remember the amount but I will never forget when I heard the final score on the radio, initially thought the guy said it wrong.

I also would have taken Duke last night but I messed up on what time the game started so I didn't get my bet in. Wouldn't have been a fun loss to be involved with.
