Marvin Hagler over Ray Leonard. Still pisses me off. Boxing was actually a somewhat legitimate betting option back then.
I had the same wager, very big.. think it was -280 or so.. ruined a vacation in Hawaii with GF and 2 other couples.. No way anyone can tell me leonard won that fight.. he played chicken for most of the fight
You sure you didn't bet 200 instead of 12?One time I had a sports book at the end of the night with a balance of something like 1988 bucks. I had the bright idea of wagering 12 bucks on some obscure soccer match or cricket match that's was playing in the middle of the night that I never heard of. The plan was to make the bet and wake up the next day with a smooth balance of 2000
I woke up the next day and lost almost 200 on that 12 bet. Then the next day I spent the whole day trying to get that back. 24 hours later my balance was a smooth 0. This was a long time ago. ESB
Agreed Hagler won the fight. I bet over my head on that fight at -300. They gave it to the prettier boxer with a nice personality. Hagler had the personalty of a rock and came off as a mean man. Last fight I ever bet.
Mine would go back to the 1970's... MLB
Took Two 4-1 Favorites and put them in a reserve !!! I remember one was the Oakland A's with Vida Blue pitching
and I believe the other was the Yankees....
Both went Down ^<<^
Was he with Nicole that night? He was married for about two years at the time. What a beautiful creature she was man. Less than 7 years later he was filleting her like an animal. Sorry off topic.I remember I had some kind of shirt made for the fight.. pretty cool.. I remember OJ Simpson saw it and signed the back of it for me.. April 4th 1987 if I remember correctly...
