Question What Winna Are You Thankful For?

There's always bad beat threads being created.

Bad beats are always easier to remember than lucky wins...

What's the luckiest wager you've ever won?

I remember having UCONN 1st half in hoops a few years ago, and some guy who'd never made a 3 pointer in his career hit a near half-courter at the halftime buzzer to cover spread by 1

Thanks Gambling Gods

What's yours?

I had the Chargers +6 @ Pittsburgh last year, 11-10 game, SD starts the eternal lateral play with no time left on the clock, and after 3 or 4 pitches, Polamalu scoops it up and scores to make it 17-10 Pitt, and a loser for me. Then, the refs, in their infinite wisdom, go back and review all the laterals and determine one was forward, killing the play and reverting the score back to 11-10. The NFL later issued a statement that the TD shouldn't have been taken off the board because of a forward lateral...............

Had that too judge but dont cinsider it lucky really as I felt they played better the entire game... was gonna feel unlucky if they didn't.

For me can't remember anything specific, but I know I have had a handful of games laying the pts that had no business covering till my team returns a pick 6... those are always the luckiest... and sweetest

im not going to get into this again because i've had this discussion/argument numerous times over the years but USC owned the majority of that game, including the vince knee down td pass and the idiot reggie bush play, 4th and 2...etc

I can't remember why I thought the way I did so I won't bother to argue either

Yes, USC did and still does not handle running qbs well. Still tho, epic collapse...their own mistakes combined with some nice texas fortunate breaks and then VY. game
