Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Won two bets on important soccer matches (Brazil-Uruguay, semifinal Copa America 2007, and Chelsea vs. Manchester United, Champions League Final 2008) after the opposing team missed the fifth penalty kick that would have given them the win.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
Worse than the ones I lost are the ones that I regret not betting on.
