Jimmy McGregor's Bad Beat.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Anyone remember that story linked where the badly beaten guy claims Pratt was in on a bet to limit the scoring?

[HahnSolo]

Is it really a bad beat?

The only chance for him to win there is a home run with a man on base.

Ventura hitting the ball over the wall was like drawing a miracle straight on the river. Pratt stopping him was his opponent showing a better straight.

[Frayed Knot]

The grand-slam was a one in maybe one-thousand play.
But once the ball went over the wall he had won ... until a one in a billion play turned it around.
THAT is a bad beat.

I personally LOVE hearing stories like this, particularly when they occur to gamblers who KNEW what was going to happen.
