Re: Worst Gambling loss against the spread in your life.

I can’t even remember the circumstances now but the most emotional loss I ever experienced involved a home run where the batter never touched the plate.
I don’t remember if I had the over or the home team -1.5 or what the deal was but I remember I had a bunch of money on the game and pulled off a miracle win when a home run was hit and then the guy never touched home so they took a point off the score.

I had the other side of that -- I had the under! It was the New York Mets a few years ago! I won my wager by 1/2 a run when the guy who hit the walk-off home run either stopped running the bases or missed home plate. He didn't care because the runner(s) he drove in won the game and his run didn't matter. I live in NYC and I was the only guy in the whole bar pissed off when the guy hit the home run, until a few minutes later when I realized what happened and what the final score was. Then everyone in the bar was happy!
