Yeah. I made the mistake of betting on Pro Football twice: The first on one of the last games of the season when one team, who had already clinched, rested all but one or two starters against one of the worst teams in the league. The 'champs' lost by less than a touchdown.
The second bet was again involved a heavy favorite and, though, it was not at season's end, my luck ran true again.
With that second one, I learned my lesson...it helped to have friends to remind me.
