Greatest Betting Win

Two come to mind. One was Kansas City moneyline against the Bills in that instant classic Divsional Round playoff game. At the time, it was the biggest bet of my life and the range of emotions I felt in the span of 13 seconds was just epic. I basically blacked out on the floor after Travis Kelce caught the touchdown in OT. Secondly was the most recent FIBA World Cup; I bet Germany 35/1 before the tournament started, essentially fading the United States, and they of course went on to pull off some major upsets on the way to taking home the gold medal.
