CaneBrain 95 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 200+15 Live. 100+9 online.Largest single bet on a sporting event.3500. On the Heat to cover the regular season win total line for last year.They needed 53 wins a total that seemed amazingly low for a team with Shaq in the Eastern Conference. First 2 weeks of the season I was sweating and then they reeled off that 14 game win streak and I knew I was golden. Never underestimate Shaq. Link to post Share on other sites

They might cruise until the playoffs. And take a while to gel.I doubt I would make that bet again. The oddsmakers still didnt have a handle on just HOW good Dwayne Wade was. So they set the line way too low last year. (52? in the East? Shaq and Wade? Seemed like the golden opportunity, hence the enormous bet)This year if anything they will probably set the line too high. I expect to see it be like 58 or so. Which they could exceed but might not for the reasons you stated and others.Now I ended up making a profit of 3300 on that bet. I actually won more money by betting less on the Heat last year. I bet 1500 getting 4.5 to 1 odds that Miami would sweep New Jersey in the first round of last year's playoffs. That was a huge score for me. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 ok, first of all toronto rules and ottawa sucks. how many stanley cups have you guys won? thought so. and since this is my main point, feel free to make fun of me if you live in any of the two dozen or so cities that have won one more recently, and even more so if you live in montreal.more purposefully, i'm going to be in ottawa the last weekend of october (hoping to catch the sens/flyers on sunday). are there are good poker rooms around there, or low-limit underground games?thanks,daniel Link to post Share on other sites

BETNFOOL 0 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Out of curiosity, what is the largest amount of money you've paid out of pocket to enter a tournamnet? I'm not talking about "I won a satellite to a $10K tourney" I talking about walking in and laying down cash to enter. There are so many ppl who are great on this site, I'm just curious how many put their money where their mouth is.My largest entry (of multiple times) is $150050 fpp on stars Link to post Share on other sites

Biggest, and probably the costliest mistake I ever made. Funny how you can do so well at the lower tables, but once you hit the big ones... :cry: Link to post Share on other sites

For those that have been to T'stone, did you ever play a guy in stud named "Hugo"? He was the ugliest human i've ever seen, and he always barked/gaggled when he bet a good hand, one the funniest things ever. Link to post Share on other sites

For a Re-Buy Tournament, I've been in for about $1000 or so I think, I never really keep track, because I'm a machine when it comes to Re-Buy Tournaments :-)An ATM machine?... ;-)$550 Link to post Share on other sites
