So I've placed Three sports bets in Vegas in my life...

[LotsOfOuts69]

Bet #1: May/June 2002, Nets at Celtics game 3 eastern Conference Semi-Finals.

Wager $100 on Nets to win at +180.

Result: Nets take 21 point lead into the 4th quarter, then proceed to do the biggest choke job in NBA playoff history, losing the game by 3.

Bet #2: October 2004 Yankees-Red Sox ALCS

Wager: $100 on the Yanks to win the series (-150 ish?)

Result: Yanks take a 3-0 series lead and a one run lead into the 9th of game four, then proceed to do the biggest choke job in MLB playoff history.

Bet #3: July 2005 Houston Astros future bet

Wager: $100 on the Astros to win the NL pennant at 40-1.

Result: You fill in the rest

Hey! Let me know what you're going to be betting on next, and maybe then I'll make my first sports bet of my life [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

will do, funny thing is, my $100 bet on the yanks was an semi-attempt to jinx them, since I hate the yankees.

But I still thought I would win.

Possible, We were actually leaving Vegas like the day the series started and I had my friend go down and bet it for me, cause I was trying to change my luck/see if I could put a jinx on again if it was just my cash.

I ripped up the ticket around a week later. I wish I still had both tickets from both of those bets.

Funny, I had some crazy hedge scheme, basically bought disaster insurance, I bet on the Cards to win the series in 4 5 and 6 games, increasing each bet.
jinx jinx jinx

40-1? good luck man! You should try to hedge your bet and bet against the Astros..Spot bet the series...I would hate to see you waste this opportunity!

Definetly, in a Sox vs Astros series, bet like $500 on the Sox and you are guaranteed money.
