Bad beats in soccer and NFL highlight weekend in betting
Who’s ready for another wild weekend of winning or whining? All of us! Who learned our lesson last weekend? None of us! So, with that, the action didn’t waste any time making the collective betting community yell with joy or pain.
World Cup
Bad beats aren’t reserved for football only! They can also happen in football. Or futbol? That’s right, I’m making “soccer guy” angry out of the gate with jokes on jokes, but there was no joking about France taking on Poland in the World Cup.
If you’re like me, you were today years old when you figured out what a “clean sheet” is. But everyone who had money on this game certainly knew after a handball penalty resulted in an extra goal that put Poland on the board. Leave it to The Bear to professionally point out the bad beat here.
France to keep a clean sheet goes down in Bad Beat annals! @StanfordSteve82

If you ask me, though, I like Michael Taylor’s take even better.
There has to be someone that had a parlay bet with a france clean sheet that threw their phone through the TV@MichaelDanger19 December 4, 2022
I’m not sure how to say “Why does this always happen to me?!” in several languages, but I feel like the language of angst was universal for people all over the world who tried to convince themselves that this is part of the joy of watching?

Why?
Well, Minkah Fitzpatrick sealed the game with a huge interception, but rather than try to score, this happened:
Minkah Fitzpatrick picks off Mariota and rather than walking in for a TD, selflessly gives himself up to secure the W!@MainTeamSports December 4, 2022
That decision not only kept the game under the point total (42.5), it also enraged fantasy fans all over the internet.
