Part of the challenge of sports is being hit with variance and luck. Injuries, missed untimely turnovers reffing, field goals , poor play and other factors??can swing an otherwise absolutely game to a loss.
Take the conclusion of the Cardinals-49ers match of a week . San Fran was upward 30-26 with time fast running out and Cardinals (+9.5) bettors were easily covering. Until…
It may be recency bias but 69% of our viewers who had Cardinals +9.5 said it had been the worst defeat theyve ever experienced.
This??unfortunate turn of events??prompted me to carry to Twitter to hear about a few of the additional awful beats I chose to feature some of the stories and that sports betting Twitter endured a week.
Tom Brady has been -112 chances. This seasons thrown 14 and has at least one touchdown in seven??of the Patriots 10 games played so far. Leave it to Belichickto find cute with play-calling and screw fantasy players and unlucky prop bettors .
Melvin Gordon having a big day against the Chiefs was being looked in by bettors. The plan should have been easy, restrict Rivers game and then run the ball against the teams worst rushing defense. Only, that didnt happen.
It struck them in different directions and this game struck a few people, myself included. Id those two teams made a decision to put up a combined zero issues in the next quarter after which 35 from the fourth to depart the game UNDER with an field goal and OVER 62.
And for individuals who were holding a +10.5 ticket, it turned into a bad beat of all bad beats.
Viewing it is as gross as reading it out loud.
Ohio State is one of just 3 teams from each one of college football with an 8-2 ATS record. Adding them is a bet that is great , correct? Not to this fella, who missed out on a 7-team parlay because Ohio State was bashful just one point.
Because there were wins and some lucky breaks also, it was not all bad, though.??
While bad beats have a tendency to get more attention, theres always??someone on the end of the spectrum??who won a bet.
Have a look at this guy, who turned FIVE DOLLARS. Unreal.
