Greatest Betting Win
Without doubt, my greatest betting memory was when I won the three-week edition of the Westgate Las Vegas Super Contest in 2021. The format was you entered your 5 best spread picks each week, and I was 9-1 with my picks over a two-week period going into the final week. I was tied for the lead with the prospect of winning more than $20,000. I went 3-1 in the early window to take my record to 12-2, and I needed the Packers +7 against the Chiefs. Jordan Love was starting at QB for Green Bay but I had faith they could keep things respectable. The Packers were down 13-0 and it was 4th and 5 in the fourth quarter. Love took the snap in the 20-yard line and threw it to Allen Lazard, who took it into the end zone for the touchdown. Green Bay lost 13-7 but covered the spread to ensure I collected $20,000. It was the greatest feeling in the world.
