My best betting memory is the New England Patriots covering the spread against the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl LI after trailing 28-3. Even with Tom Brady at the helm, that wager felt like a lost cause. To win a bet in a marquee event in such thrilling fashion was incredible.

I’ll let recency bias take over here and go with the San Francisco 49ers losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII in 2024. I was convinced the Niners were the best team in the league by a clear margin and – even as an Eagles fan – made a big futures bet on the 49ers to win it all the August prior to the season. For them to blow a double-digit point lead to the Chiefs – just a year after they crushed my soul beating the Eagles – was so disappointing.
