Ever had a '1,000' winner on B/F Camel?
Once.
American Football match in running, Chicago against someone about 6 years ago.
The handicap was Chicago -4.5. They trailed by 7 with about a minute left in regulation.
Someone obviously thought if they won it would be a td followed by a fg and put up 1000, I had £8 on. Yet about 15% of games are won by a td in overtime.
They scored the td in regulation and the opposition won the toss and took the ball...
First play of overtime Chicago safety intercepts a slant pass and returns it for a 25 yd td.
Think I must have woke the neighbours screaming him into the endzone
I misremembered slightly.
This was the game:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/scores105/105303/NFL144604.htmChicago led by 3, Detroit had the ball with 2 minutes left when I got the 1000.
I had two ways of winning, Chicago could score a td (or an unlikely fg) in regulation.
Or, Detroit could score a fg and Chicago could win by a td in overtime.. which they did.
I loved Charles Tillman that night.
