Do you remember your 1st ever sporting wager?

[HUDSON]

I do......NCAAF BYU +3.5 home dogs to Texas A&M season opener when Steve Sarkisian was their QB I believe it was his sophmore season when BYU started to make their run the next couple years with him at the helm. I just got my first local book and won $50 lol!

I bet $30 to win $25 Sugar Ray Leonard over Thomas Hearns.

1980? Something like that, not going to look it up.

Bet $11 to win $10 on Super Bowl 1 on the Packers because Lombardi was from my neighborhood in Brooklyn....

Dont remember specific game, but i know it was college football in 1987. Being young, stupid and ultra competitive, i was hooked.:toast:

My wife brought home a football parlay card from work. And it was all over. Since then I probably bought my local a couple of new cars! :mj07:

Three weeks after moving into the dorm at the university of Iowa, football season started.
One of the guys on my floor came around and asked if anyone wanted some action on the Iowa game.
I remember betting 10 bucks on Iowa over Iowa state.
Hawkeyes won and covered and that was all she wrote.
The next season I was a runner for the guy as he moved off campus.

With a bookie when I was in high school, my friend who's boss owned some subways was a bookie too, I bet 25 dollars on the bulls -5 or 6 in the playoffs, had to pay him 27.50, :mj07:

No, but I probably lost :mj07:

Spent every day at the track growing up so it was probably a $2 win bet on some nag.
