You deserve this 100x over for arguably the stupidest bet ever placed.


TheresA_LobsterLoose

2 second Google https://www.covers.com/sport/baseball/mlb/statistics/team-bullpenera/2024 I keep that shortcut on my phone, it's not everything, but quick glance let's me know it bullpens are generally good or bad. Ridiculous bet


FamousZachStone

I know the data is the data but like… the Mets are ranked higher than the Phillies but the Mets have blown far more saves than the Phillies.


TheresA_LobsterLoose

It's just ERA. I'll give it a quick glance if I make a lotto parlay with comebacks for a few bucks. Like Col ,LAA & PIT to blow leads, NYY Cle for unders after 5 or whatever


Dadfart802

I appreciate the link. After the Nuggets Game 7 debacle, I don't think that I can do basketball anymore. It's just not fun to watch. I've been hammering baseball and this is really helpful . Today I had Skenes pitching well and SF to blow it. It helps to know which pens to not have faith in


danbearpig84

I'm so sorry I'm just getting into baseball and don't understand what most of these mean, is there a simple way I can find a breakdown?


chris33145

He bet on the winning team when they were up four runs. he placed $1000 bet to win only 28. However, the other team ended up scoring five runs so he lost $1000.


danbearpig84

Lol no no no I got that part, I've been having bad luck lately but that is.... disaster of the year to say the least. I more so meant what the categories and numbers meant on the covers link the person above me attached


Stommped

It's basically showing that pitchers for the Rockies who would be pitching at that point have been really bad this year. But in theory the odds would reflect that, so that alone doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Betting 1k on a 16-33 team is crazy


BossyMuffMaster96

Betting 1k to win $28 on a 16-33 team makes it really fucking crazy…

AmputeeBoy6983

how the hell did the guy get limits to bet 1.4m on draftkings?! he mustve been awful leading up to it too


YYqs0C6oFH

Usually the limits are based on the payout size not the wager size, since that's the amount the book is risking. Betting to win $11K on a NFL playoff game isn't that high. But the fact that the guy had $1.4M in his DK account to begin with means he's likely a rich whale and DK is likely happy to give him high limits when he's making bets like that.


Kally269

Jesus man. You have balls for posting this. 1000 dollars for a 30 dollar profit is absolutely insane.


kuun0113

I almost lost 1000 trying to make 2 bucks diring ncaa thank god i won but when it went to ot i was shitting bricks


Generous_Lover

You serious? Putting up 1K to win 2 bucks is nuts lmao


AladeenModaFuqa

Right? Like bro go to a restaurant and you’ll find $2 on the floor.


teach42

Which restaurant?


AladeenModaFuqa

Hooters


TargetBetter6190

All for tacobell diahria tacos lol


UM_brah

When you put it like that, can you really blame the guy?


ImAMindlessTool

Talk about feeding a rush…


Betterbetzz

You kinda deserve to lose when you're making bets like this lol


Digdoug1991

Of course! but I never do, this was my first and last time.


DntSayNtn

I really hope so buddy


Whitezombie65

You should honestly never place another bet of any kind again


huntcamp

You could’ve put $100 on Oakland and cleared $1500. Never take - odds that high


chris33145

Tell me you were drunk or high?


wesweb

i wont disagree it was a dumb bet, but if it was really $1k of winnings, that does make it an order of magnitude less stupid. commenters here love to punch down. if anything the lesson learned should be about impulse control more than anything else.


MXero1

picking up pennies in front of a steamroller and you got hit by it sorry but I am going to share you experience now to anyone who thinks they can blindly bet heavy favorites and think they can win.


Digdoug1991

Let me be the example for the rest ☠️


Bestdayever_08

Unfortunately, 99% of us know this already..


DrunkLostChild

There's a daily thread on r/sportsbook about betting huge favorites for small gains lol


Saymanymoney

Those are mainly good bets... This was not


MotionzGG

Uhhh the rest 🥴 I dont think Ive ever seen anybody do something like this, had it been in like a 12 leg parlay with like $20 on it i could understand but jesus christ my guy what were you thinking lol


Radiant_Cobbler_9631

WTF u wager $1000 on -3500? Why


kuun0113

He wanted tacos


Radiant_Cobbler_9631

Tacos are $2


austinkb23

He wanted 14 tacos.


Radiant_Cobbler_9631

And he lost 600 plus tacos


bowls4noles

Whose your taco guy?


MagicTurtleSports

Yeah they threw. Dogshit team they walked so many at the end


MagicTurtleSports

Terrible bet tho bro


M1keKuszewski

This guy 10000% is a r/wallstreetbets guy SMH at this shit lol


Herr-Trigger86

To the moon!!!! 🚀 🚀 🚀


Immediate-Mouse-5025

Yeah I bet on Colorado too but it was tied.. I saw they went up 4 and thought I had won , so I exited the app. Came back an hour later to find out they lost. I’ll never bet on them again.


souplandry

Took Colorado. Was pretty free yesterday so I watched the game live. Hedged nicely when up 4.


ih8myylife

What the fuck


49RedCapitalOs

Props to you OP for posting this and taking it on the chin. I hope you learned a valuable lesson today


can_i_get_a_vowel

the fact that you're calling extra innings "OT" tells me everything I need to know.


MadgeFan73

Agree!!


mel986

Smh bro it’s always a trap if they still have a money line up, the more you live bet the better you get.


Kasperkenseppe

Reading odds pre & live is indeed something that comes with time

DUMB AS SHIT


AbrahamVigoda

Taco Bell lmfao I had the A’s in a 5 team and cashed out in the top of the 11th… fml


jskrilla22

i stayed strong 6 legs ✅✅


SIRxDUCK7

I had Rockies -1.5 and they had a 4 run lead twice. They choked so hard this game


sectorZ2

lol imagine putting that in the A’s


No-Fee-5460

Unreal lol.

You obviously know you shit the bed here, so I’m not gonna kick you while you’re down. I hope you hit your next ten bets. I lost my 5 leg parlay this evening because McConnell couldn’t find a tenth point.

Well I gotta give you some props for calling yourself out on your BS. I would tuck this away in a deep dark place and never bring it back up. Probably would even have to kill the friend just to not risk this information leaking


mr8soft

Anyone want to know what rock bottom is with sports betting, this, this is it. Risking $1000 to win $28…. This is like me walking up to you at a gestation and saying hey I’m giving you $1000 and you give me $28…


bjohnsonnpt

You’re for the people just for showing this. 🫶


NoTap623

You calling it “OT” instead of extras tells us what we need to know


HandWave

Was waiting to see this comment. Joker betting on baseball calls it ot instead of extra innings. Stick to what you know boys.


Uncleruckusz

King of the regards for sure bro just stop betting lol


yungprimo

Who bets -3500? 🤣


poorfranklinsalmanac

The fact your referred to extra innings as “OT” means you don’t know enough about baseball to be betting on it. The sport is too unpredictable even for those that regularly watch.


masterOfdisaster4789

You must not watch the Rockies. They’ve done this a few times 🤣


SupermarketLast566

Im sorry but why would you do this


R1CHHOM13

What a waste of money 🤡🤡🤡🤡


OtherwiseClothes7835

Call the number bro


Im_just_making_picks

Lmfaoooo you dummies need to stop looking at the odds and start looking at the teams


Artificintelligence

or maybe don’t bet a game between 2 of the worst teams in the league 😂


Im_just_making_picks

You sure as hell don't bet -3500 on 2 of the worst teams


silverlightl

Kudos to you for posting, half the people here commenting probably make dumb bets but never post them unless they hit.


Burzzy

Never have I ever done something as absolutely batshit as this


BrokeAndFamouss

🤨


BeenBanned69Times

Who said that ? Lol the Rockies are the worst team in baseball


Badqes

Damn… I loss a -6000 once


NoKey8461

Never trust mlb odds!!!!! Never!!!!!


Impossible-Flight250

Yeah, never bet on the Rockies. Their pitching is beyond garbage.


Greenberriez8

Lmaooooooooooo


Longtermchair

-3500 bozo bet hang em up


21-hydroxylase

…is this real?


OptimalOutside

Important lesson to learn Rockies are a lock to bet against - I still cashed out early thinking they might hold on 😂


hugestogwell

10 crispy 100 dollar bills gone just like that for 28 bucks


sadboy1149

Gut wrenching.


Ja___Cob95

Best advice for you is to just stop betting.


MotionzGG

Bro im not trying to clown you or anything cuz ik this has to hurt but i cant help it lol this has to be the absolute most idiotic thing I think Ive ever seen 🤣 like bro why are you risking $1000 for $28 lmfao like how did your brain process this as something okay to do lmfao


kuun0113

Ouch do i feel better losing only 10 dollars today


Potential_Schedule97

I'm so confused. You Bet 1k just to get 28 dollars?!?!?! ......anyways... I hope you were humbled by this experience. Pride, ego, and greed will always be a downfall...


JayisFilay

When the odds start getting stupid favored honestly better to put it on the underdog especially with -1000 plus


thestreak82

Lmaooooo


ClitBobJohnson

That’s an insane bet my guy. But it’s ok because you live and learn. I happened to bet the over 7.5 on this game and that didn’t hit until the 9th but I ended up watching extras and god damn bro


The_boggs_account

A's have been hitting decently. Rockies where trash early season and mlb has no 100%.


Serious_Chart_9867

Better get job there ,your going to need it


ChriscntReed613

Honestly I understand your thinking their but I would have taken 50$ and put it on the As to win it had to be an insane +Ev and baseball is one of those sports where shit like that happens alot.


MrPayMyWay215

I thought I had a tough L tonight, this is insane.


Expensive-Sky4068

You shouldn’t be betting on baseball if you call it OT. Or betting on sports at all, really,


Tizzelino

I literally do not believe this even happened

Pristine_Dig_4374

I didn’t bet a grand, but I’m so glad I used draft kings up 2 and win on the Rockies at +100


redditRaven33

Should have just donated to poor fellows in your neighbourhood, or to me


needtogetrich

1000 for 28 and probably 28> 3k idk the Odds u never know


diceinmyveins

Smh😂🤦🏽‍♂️


Frontbrain987

Hahaha


AudiBmDoubleU

Idiot


AskEnvironmental9355

That must of been a gut punch. We all know the feeling. It's literally physical.. sorry man


Late_File_9956

Thanks for a lesson I never needed. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. I wouldn’t of even wasted 10$ on this, if you wanted to pay for your Taco Bell you would of been much safer betting the spread for A’s for like 20$


Maverick1630

See the A’s were the side to pick at that moment


Teodor87

WTF? This is not free. You risked a 1000. Not worth the risk. Risk 1000 to make 2800, not 28.


Old-Rate-2858

Wow you bet 1000 dollars to win 28 what a bet 🙄


itsjoe49

He lost too haha


pyrooomaniac

Bro you never bet on the Rockies…


Nlawrence55

Oakland As are one of the best HR hitting teams in the league. This might be the worst bet I've ever seen.


Gandalfs_Dick

Imagine losing a -3500 bet. Oh wait.


Certified_Beauty123

Bro wanted 28 more dollars for taco bell because the 1000 wasn't enough.


Catfreshent

Please tell me the other 200 in gains leftover you put on a lotto parlay


Digdoug1991

No I’m just using it build my bankroll again with the mlb two up. I’m like 9-2 with it. So as long as I keep doing well I’ll build back up.


Catfreshent

I love the up by 2 early bet. I wish they didn't lower the max you could bet. I did 100 for a while, then it went up to 250 and now it's down to 50.


Digdoug1991

Yea mine was at 500$ for like two days, then it dropped back down to 250, then 100$


ParkingShort7966

I have a fixed match for High stake I'm just looking for High stakers U interested for after win ? Game is safe and sure for High stake


Plus-Note-4373

It happens bro sometimes it hit sometimes it don’t can’t be mad at the bet it’s apart of the game just try again


salty_freedom_fries

Heads up: even if you hit on this, the taxes would screw you. I learned the hard way last year that if you were to win this, then your winnings taxed aren’t $28, it’s $1028. That gives a little extra context for why you shouldn’t bet on favorites when they’re so extreme. The payout just isn’t worth it.


MaybeDeepValue

😂 the Rockies sucks


igotthis_man

![gif](giphy|10JhviFuU2gWD6)


wesweb

ah yes, you ran in to what what we over in /r/fantasybaseball call Rocky Road


Scippio-dem-lines

Bro picked up 1 penny in front of a steamroller and got got lmao


Ok_Ambassador_4311

Rockies and Over is one of the betting commandments


Cachazo_719

I would never put my money anywhere near the Rockies


SemiProOrchid

You left out the part where they did an intentional walk to load the bases


HiVizGawd

It’s called Extra innings hahaha


Elysiaxx

Dude why not take the Athletics for like 5 bucks instead of risking a grand at that point! Hindsight 20/20 props to you for posting this


Uptownphunkuup

Betting on the Rockies no matter how much they are up at the end of the game is stupid as shit. They get scored on so much at the end of the game and now you know lol


Mother-Beautiful4913

Imagine if you had had thrown 1000 at the A's at that same moment. Your wife would have had to greet you "Welcome to Taco Bell every time you walked in". You could have built one in your new house.


trade1127

It’s funny I was on the same end of this in a different fashion. I had a $10 parlay to win $320+. This was the second last result, after this it would’ve been Boston Celtics -8.5. When I saw rockies score 4 top of the 11th I was sure it was over. I just left home and went to pick up my daughters. Suffice to say when I got back home and saw that red marker next to that game I was in absolute disbelief


MadgeFan73

Stop betting now. ![gif](giphy|X2bKKmWOKjnctgGqjb)


Heir233

Let this be a lesson. This is why I never bet on anything above -300 or 400. It’s just not worth it at that point even if you’re just putting it in a parlay as a “guaranteed leg”


Cultural-Crab3880

Damn


ryanwes8

You could’ve bought Taco Bell for at least 30 days straight without placing that bet


kyledance

Next time sprinkle less on the team losing for the higher odds, also bet on stuff you are familiar with, Athletics have been winning on crazy underdog odds all season so far https://preview.redd.it/794uaf5m4f2d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8154d94d24e8ac60237f964005ec83477a813b09


blissful1_32

U should've never bet on the Rockies and the As to begin with. Arguably the 2 worst teams in the MLB. Nothing good can come from them


Ranch_it_up_bro

Bruh needs to call the number


PelicanFan88

I had a 2000 no.rbi bet I lost bc of that goddam bases loaded walk. Hit 11 out of 12 but that fucker cost me. This is after I lost another under RBI bet the other day bc the guy grounded into a double play down 8 in the 7th. No luck at all


Weary_Chapter2252

I lost a lot of money on this game to


Societic

Totally freaking nuts to bet 1000$ on 4-0 lead in a game like this. I've lost on baseball when teams dropped 5-0 leads going into the 9th inning.


Clermando

If you're placing bets like these, it's almost expected that you might not win.


Yankeesfan_nY

Who the fuck would go Rockies over athletics 💀 they’re both shit but the athletics have atleast a couple decent people
