It's sports betting-- so you can never say you've lost every way possible. Took BC today -45 vs Howard-- 76-0-- everything went as it was supposed to---- but, 65-0 at the half, so they played 10 minute quarters in the 2nd half. Result= no bet. :arg:

Yeah, some guys tend to forget that-- but, it's amazing that they all seem to come in bunches.
M.Cassel at QB (T.Taylor at WR). L.McCoy left end to BUF 21 for -6 yards (K.Langford).
Bills kick off the game with a trick play
That is quite possibly the worst beat I've ever heard.
So lumpy what convinced you he was going to start at that price?
I live in Buffalo and I'm a fan of the Bills. I watched their preseason games and was pretty informed on the situation. I thought it should have been 50/50 between Cassel and Taylor. Outside of Buffalo I'm guessing it was still assumed that EJ had a shot. The odds were really all over the place but I got lucky and nailed Taylor at the best time. After Cassel started week 1 of preseason bookmaker opened the odds with Cassel as the big favorite so I jumped on it. I was surprised to see that I was allowed to rebet this one but since they allowed it I made several bets.
The cruel part was that we had a party at our house for the first game and I missed the beginning. I logged on later and when I saw it was a loss I contacted support to inform them of their mistake. Pretty common for them to screw up prop grading, I even provided them with the link to the game to show Taylor was the only QB in the stats.....and then they dropped the hammer on me.

After that I STILL thought I was right so I insisted that was a mistake and turned to a friend who had watched the beginning and said hey did the Bills open the game with Cassel under center as some sort of trick play and he said yes......and I died a little bit inside.
you bring back many bad beats and some good memories at the Big A. I used to be there almost every morning watching workouts and made a couple of connections and used to love when the trainers would fuck the owners and we would get the str8 sinny from the traner and jock. Hated it when I would try to pump the B/R and go broke before the hot horse which was usually the last race collect the money and out the door. 9th race was famous for that. So back to OTB waiting to get more money see that the horse won and head to yonkers later that night to get screw by the Abbatiello and the Filion brothers. They would throw us a bone now and again to keep everyone happy. Could have been Roosevelt Racetrack so many years forget which track was running when the Big A was running.
I was at Ruidoso years ago when they still had their little bullring track-- 10 horse field, and leader had never run at any track smaller than a mile. Coming around the tight corner into the stretch he bolted towards the outside-- 3 horses ran into each other-- jockeys down-- the next group had to try to avoid the carnage-- one horse over the railing into the infield-- 2 more jocks down. And the 2 longest odds-- so bad they had been about 30 lengths back-- wind their way through the wreckage-- run 1-2, and have the biggest exacta payout in New Mexico history. I'm sure somebody's girlfriend who liked their names headed to the window.
Oh yeah those where wild days. Herve Fillion used to have a helicopter waiting for him when the races where finished and fly him directly to AC where he used to lose all the money that he stole that night. Real degenerate gambler. Not sure if you knew Vinny the Hair and the Jersey Bear 2 Jewish guys which are both deceased now, but Vinny used to run a lot of the bets for these guys and a few times they stiffed him on his end with excuses like we need the money right now, w'll pay you next week. So one night Vinny see's me and says I have a nice poker game for you in the back stretch, but I want 50%. So the first thing I ask him what is the limit and he says No Limit, front plays and no pocket money until next hand. Takes me there the first night and my eyes lit up when I seen all the cash on the table. Only problem was they where playing some stupid game like draw but with 8 cards called "racetrack poker" took me a while to figure it out but once I did it was payback time. In 2 weeks time I started to clean them out and Vinny calls me and says don't give them credit during the game tonight because they won't pay you. So I was like ok, I will take a single file race around with no movers in return instead of the money. I go that early afternoon to play and after 1 hour of playing Gagliardi goes broke and asks me for 5k so I give it to him. 30 Min later Jimmy Marohn goes bust asks me to loan him 3k and i give it to him. Game finishes about 4:30 pm and Gag comes up to me with a piece of paper for that night's last race and says to me "we're even now is that okay". So I opened the paper and there's 3 numbers on it, and i said to him how? He say's straight. On my way home here come's Vinny hounding me, asking me what did he give you? So I give him the paper and 2k to play those 3#s every which way possible and I tell him I will see you tomm because I can't make it back tonight. Would you believe Vinny goes broke before the last race, junking out on all the other races and doesn't have a fucking dime left to play the last race, which I'm kind of glad now that he went broke before that race, because a big investigation took place afterwards on those drivers. Yonkers and Roosevelt was Highway thievery every day. They could of kept it going but their greed got the best of them.
ha this is why i'm still hoping to be able to connect with you for a drink around hoboken. great story thanks for sharing.
Even though a lot of people think they don't--- laid 42.5 with Akron at the open-- they were down 9-6 in the second Q-- ended up winning 52-9. Now that's what's called skill. :thumbup:
