Imagine you had money on the Oilers to win it all and Steve Smith scores that own goal. Blame is pretty squarely on his shoulders for a massive screw up and the loss.
Little different from just having a bad game or a depleted roster

My favourite of all time was in the English FA Cup, some minnow team barely had enough players and so their Goalie Coach was also their backup Goaltender on the bench.
Someone placed a bet that he'd eat a meat-pie on the bench, of course he got wind of that, placed some money and brought a meat-pie with him to the game.
Now...obviously that bet was invalidated and I believe he lost his job, but I thought it was hilarious!
The English will bet on anything.
