Top of my head these are tough to get over with. MIN@NYJ Under is a peanut compared to the following...

#1

Had a 4 NBA game teaser, which one happened to be the Pacers game. To this day I want to vomit, as I got a brake from dealing cards, I go to check the score...3.53 remaining in the 4Q, Pacers are up 103-102...They were 7.0 underdog, and I teased them to +17.5. All 3 other games went safely, so I go back to work thinking I cashed $700, untill I check the scores the next brake. 121-103 Pacers lost. So mad to this day cant remember who they played.

#2

Portland moneyline, 108 -100 at home with 58sec. left against Orlando, I mean how can they loose right? Just burn the clock out...but the next thing I know its 108-106, 4 sec. on the clock Orlando advance the ball and.... well see it for yourself LOL

The Dennis Dixon injury a couple years ago was a huge loss for me.  That game was looking fantastic, he got hurt, and they ended up losing straight up. 

And I don't remember who they were playing, but Army was going to win and cover and instead they fumbled on the 1 yard line to end the game and lose.

Ravens/Browns a few years ago was rough also.

However, without a doubt my worse loss ever was the steelers and the chargers in 2008.  Polamalo intercepts and covers for me at the end of the game.  Two backwards laterals lead to a legit interception but the refs took it away. 

A guy dealing with a bad elbow I can handle.  Inferio officials I can not.

this is mine as well.

Minn backers certainly weren't moosed, the under was.  

I've had my share of suckouts too.  Couple of OT games when I had the over, etc.

Another painful one:  Had the over last year with Houston/Zona.  Houston had first and goal with about a minute left and I needed them to score the td.  They were stoned 4 times.

Cinncy Bengals -3:

I put $100 on 8-team parlay. I picked 4 colleges and 4 NFL. Cinncy Bengals screwed up my card. Went 7 out of 8 teams. I was so pissed.

Saints -6:

I put $50 on 7-team parlay and Saints loss killed the card.

Colorado +12(CFB):

I put $200 on 3-team parlay and got killed by them.

Bills -1:

Put $100 parlay Bills and Over, and they loss.

49ers:

Put $100 parlay them with Atlanta and they lost.

Frustrating weekend but ended up on the plus side.

This was a while back but like a tard, I had $3280 (my whole account balance) on WVA over Rutgers -7.5. This was I believe ll the way back in 1999 or so. Well I was up by 14 with 3 mins left AND Rutgers was punting away, which essentially meant WVA could kneel it out for the game and I doubled my account (minus vig). Well, the asshole muffs the punt and Rutgers, 3 plays later, are dancing in the end zone and the game ends WVA 28-21 or something like that. I was speechless. My wife at the time walked into the room all cheerly, unknowing of my plight, and I told her to get the fuck out and leave me alone.

So, yeah, I feel ya on bad beats, been there.

Also, I lost a 10, yes 10, team parlay on a missed LJ free throw. I think $10 would have paid $6600 or so. Maybe my math is off but you get my point.

Well, i can't imagine what it must have been like to be a titan fan at the game.  but i can imagine what it feels like to pick up soap in the shower in san quentin, because that's what it felt like to me.

looking at the videotape, i was reminded that I was also on the titans in that Super Bowl, the one where Dyson came up "one yard short" on the final play that made Kurt Warner's Rams the SB Champs.

I read this thread just to see if anyone lost several years back on the Steelers/SD game.  This would be the one where the Steelers needed a score to cover, but were winning and SD lateraled the ball twice, but on the second Palomalu batted it into the endzone and fell on it as time expired giving them a miracle cover... The ref signaled touchdown, they flashed the score without the six points and immediately cut to commercial.  The NFL later stated that the points should have counted but oh well!  The next week I read in the times that something like 75% of the money in Vegas was on Pitts.  I didn't have a ton of money on it, or anything, but I have never felt so screwed (excepting the Snow Job... RAIIIII DERRRS!)

Bad lost this year was San Fran scoring a meaningless touchdown against KC with less then 7 seconds to push the game Over.
I had Under 38      final 31 -10
Lost $ 2,000 plus my TV for kicking it
