Basket ticket

A parlay wager that falls just one game short of coming off. Usually denies the bettor(s) massive winnings - and in the most excruciating circumstances possible. Ticket is stored in a basket for eternity as a nauseating reminder of what could've been.

I would've won $50K if the Rams didn't muff that field goal. Mother of all basket tickets.
