Betting Highlights
Favorite Bet of All-Time
Two come to mind - one high and one low. I was on the over in Bayern-Barcelona when Bayern won 8-2, cashing my ticket after only 20 minutes of game time. On the flip-side, I was on the under when Tottenham boatraced Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford, and was a loser after seven minutes.
Most Heartbreaking Bet
I don't know if this is of all time, but I had a really bad beat just this past week. I was on under 2.5 goals in Atletico-Porto and it was 1-0 Atletico entering stoppage time. Then, all hell broke loose. Three goals in the final six minutes meant I didn't just lose on the hook, but by a goal-and-a-half instead.
