Brag Thread - biggest cover you ever had

NajdorfDefense · #1 02-16-2007, 12:55 PM

Friday's are often slow in the office, so let's reminisce. What's the biggest, easiest cover ATS-wise you've had on a bet?

Off the top of my head, mine's gotta be KanSt v Okla football, 2003. I took KSt getting 21 or so at SIA, and they won 35-7 over the usually overrated Sooners. That's a 50-pt cover.

I generally don't even notice stuff like that, but I do recall having the Packers in that 52-3 run against New Orleans the year before last.

Not an ATS winner, but I once had a baseball over bet cover 7.5 runs before the opposing team ever recorded an out in the top of the 1st.

I would love to see proof of this. I think it is impossible.

Boot, I think this person is saying that the team scored 8 runs in the first before an out was recorded, not that he covered by 7.5 runs more than the total for the game in that time. 8 runs in the top of the first before an out isnt impossible, i think the indians went down like 12-0 in the first inning against the royals last year then came back and covered. Ill check on it.

Right, I see what he means now. I couldn't fathom a team being up ~15-0 before an out was made.

It was a game from early 90's, I know it was when I was in Law School, so it would have to be sometime between 90 and 93. I want to say 91, but 15 years is a long time ago. I want to say the pitcher was Dave Stewart that got pounded, but I can't recall exactly. I also seem to recall that either Hentgen or maybe Stottlmyre was the opposing pitcher. Everyone thought it was one of those 7.5 type totals. I think Stewart gave up 9 in the first inning. And from what I can remember he really didn't pitch that badly. Seems like he gave up 2 or 3 walks, a couple reached on errors, 3 or 4 hits and a grand slam. It happened in the blink of an eye. Funny thing is, I don't think he gave up maybe 1 or 2 more runs the rest of the game.

Seems totally reasonable. I remember the Phils scoring 8-9 runs in the first v Braves a few years back in a low totaled game, and Braves had at least 2-3, iirc.

On a different note, I went to a Schilling v Maddux game at the Vet back then...game took 1hr, 41 mins. Crazy. You went to the bathroom you missed 2ip.
