Gambling on football games/sports in general can make you go crazy. It can also make you go broke, or so I’ve heard from others.
Just when you think you might have picked a winner, something crazy can happen that reminds you that gambling on games is bad for your bottom line and for your heart.
That happened Sunday in San Francisco where the 49ers were favored by 10 points over the Arizona Cardinals. They led by four in the final seconds and with Arizona having the ball it looked like anyone who bet on the Cardinals would make a little money on a Sunday afternoon.
Then this wild defensive touchdown happened for the 49ers. And yes, it was absolutely WILD:
49ers closed -10

I mean, come on. That’s a tough push right there for anyone who had the Cardinals getting 10 points.
Some places even had the spread down to 9.5, which must have been brutal for those who had the Cardinals:
If you had Cardinals +10 or 9.5 … I'm very sorry for you.pic.twitter.com/71SEhbpKK6

Gamblers couldn’t believe it:
Hope all you Cardinals bettors had the hook or you just suffered the worst push of your life.

That was near Ohio St-NW levels of a bad beat just now in that 49ers-Cards game, line was -10, winds up being a push in most Vegas books

The 49ers were -10
This is the worst backdoor push of all time 😂😂

The cardinals 49ers finish might be the worst bad beat I’ve ever seen #NFL

That last #49ers play is a bad beat of the year candidate. Yikes. https://t.co/NgdYNbCcFh

New worst bad beat of the year in betting. The Cardinals have a weird backwards lateral and the ball springs towards the end zone and as time runs out the 49ers get a meaningless TD that lands on the point spread.
