When they were down by 10, covered the spread for Jacksonville. That's the kind of last second bad beats that drove me out of the gambling game, used to just absolutely make me pull my hair out.
OT: That FG by Jax with 25 seconds left
- Thread starter Tskware
- Start date
I had Kansas City yesterday so I lost on it but I don't consider that a bad beat. That was exactly what should have been done there. A bad heat to me I'd like the Mississippi State-Illinois bowl game where a bunch of laterals get fumbled and the other team picked it up and returned it for a safety.
Fun fact: I am 0 and 8 betting on the playoffs this year.

It’s so worth it if you’re on the other side. UK/Virginia Tech bowl game (UK was a dog), I sold points and had UK -2.5…the last play was amazing. Jordan Wright is my hero. Should’ve only won 31-30. I was SICK before that happened. (WHY didn’t I just take UK’s moneyline, etc!)
Sorry Bengals fans but I took you and San Francisco today. Better luck next year.
Nooooooooooooo I’m JK your gonna win atleast 1 game. Bengals by 10 with a minor butt whipping on the Bills. The defense comes up big today with 2 picks and 2 fumble recoveries plus 5+ sacks. Bengals 34 Bills 24
Those socks just aren’t getting it done for football, huh. May as well mail them my way!
I knew I was going to lose when KC didn't make that first down. Just the way it goes sometimes. On the bright side, I had the Eagles & 49'ers to cover. I didn't touch the Bengals v Bills because of the weather forecast.
Oh yes, have experienced that feeling all too many times, just need ONE MORE first down and I am golden . . . but NOOOOOOOOO
Yeah I think the idea is with just 25 seconds left its better to kick now and save time for an onsides and hail mary. Otherwise the 25 seconds would probably have been eaten up just trying to score the touchdown the other way with no chance at getting the other three
Agree. There is no right or wrong answer on that decision. My thought though is that you need both a TD and a FG, so you are going to need a recovered onside kick either way, and it is a lot easier to score a TD from the 25 or so (I forget where they were on the field) than a 50 or 60 yard Hail Mary.
But I can see kicking the FG there as well, if you are reasonably certain your guy will make it, then if you do recover, maybe you have time for two or three plays, instead of a Hail Mary.
So you were 0-8 until you picked the Bengals?
This convinces me the Bengals are inevitably the Super Bowl Champs.
If Glenn can’t f@&k it up betting either side . . . .
