Re: Most you've ever won on a single game?
Oh why not?
I got DRUNK 4-5 years ago when Tampa Bay was playing Calgary for the Stanley Cup in Ice Hockey...
It was game 7 and I don't know why, but I had to have downed at least 7 Martinis (one for each previous game)...
Please keep in mind that I NEVER had bet HOCKEY before in my life and I barely understood what a puck line was...
The offshore world was thriving and I had accounts everywhere...
I started dialing each bookmaker on my list and betting TAMPA for at least 5k a shot on the Money Line...
I remember JAZZ refusing to take a 10k bet from me and calling a mutual Friend because they heard me slurring my words.
JAZZ actually made me call back after raising the line much more than normal, figuring I wouldn't bet anything else on Tampa Bay at that ridiculously high of a ML price...
But, I did, lol...
I recall laying anywhere between -130 and -180 as the size of my bets on Tampa Bay helped trigger a rapid fire heavy line move on The Lightning...
Although I was moving for BW at the time, the sports books knew he didn't bet Hockey but because of the size of my bets and the fact I was betting the Tampa Bay side so hard, they didn't know what to think...
Well, if I recall correctly, Tampa Bay was up 2-0 going into the 3rd period but Calgary scored a goal in the 3rd period and even came close to tying it up as I believe they may have hit the goal post in the same period...
I was in a drunken stupor not realizing I had risked over 200k on Tampa Bay until I called up all the sports books the next day to find out how much I had bet and won...
Even my record keeping that night was off by almost 50k...
TRUE STORY!!!
