"I accidentally bet USC instead of UConn last night Not the first time I clicked the wrong team. FUCK!"





Guess who?

Who else has ever done this?

When you bet the wrong side did you win or lose?

A couple of times I bet 5 inning lines for big instead of the game, both worked out. They were sweats for sure.

One time the Cowgirls/Packers played. I loved OVER. I bet it. 3-0 at halftime and they could still be playing some 10-years later and still wouldn't have gone OVER. I chalk it up to a loss. I log in to my account and find more money than I expected.

I saw I ACTUALLY played UNDER...............and easily won

I always take screenshots of my plays because I once had a book actually change my plays once the game started. I had no way or proving it until I took the shots and had proof. It was a credit shop so I ran up a massive amount due and then told them to fuck off since I had proof they changed some of my best after the games started.

I wanted to bet an MLB side laying a run-and-a-half.

My team went out and scored six runs in the first inning.

Shortly thereafter, something told me to double-check the wager in my betting history.

You guessed it.

No bet found.

I forgot to hit the submit button.

Costly mistake, miserable feeling.

I always double-check tickets in the race and sports books in Nevada.

I've seen too many horror stories to do otherwise.

Betting is a two-part process: 1) You have to call out the bet you want and 2) You have to receive the bet you called.

100%!

I do not leave the window until I check over every ticket to make sure it is right.\ because I know once I walk away the bet is mine - whether I wanted it to be, or not.

I make online mistakes when I get in a hurry. Trying to bet seconds before game starts. Happened a couple of times.

Here's a good one for you JK,
I was playing blackjack online ( very late night )
and my mouse clicked on draw rather than stand
on a 20 and of course busted. Insane that the programmers
do not have an auto stand on 20's ( that are without 2 x 10's
or a hand with an Ace included ) like they do on 21's .

best way not to make mistakes make a home made betting printout from microsoft excel -- with date, game # , team , price , amount wagered , win / loss, office where bet took place...etc... much slower process but you can check your work. Just betting on computer is quick but easier for mistakes.

No auto stand on 20 for this very reason.

Good story, BIMMER.
