Sometimes life throws you a curveball so wild, you wouldn’t believe it unless there was photo evidence. That’s exactly what you’ll find in these incredible pictures from the r/nevertellmetheodds subreddit.
These are the moments where luck, skill, or sheer coincidence came together to create something truly unbelievable.
From perfect timing to jaw-dropping near-misses, these snapshots are proof that the odds might be low, but they’re never zero. Let’s marvel at these one-in-a-million moments.
1. The setup code on my Watch right after unboxing it.
2. Got a new car last week. Neighbor meant to reverse but was in the wrong gear.
3. The person caught the same fish a month and half later.
4. Tree limb penetrated neighbors roof and landed between legs while sleeping.
My 84 year old neighbor and his wife were sleeping in bed while this +20’ long tree limb broke off during a wind storm and penetrated their house. This happened around 1:00 AM. They called me to tell me about it and ask for help. My neighbor was laughing as he explained that the tree limb landed in between his legs while he was sleeping in his back on that side of the bed. He crawled back in bed to show me. The limb was inches from his groin area.
5. Accused murderer caught by police after Google Maps image showed him putting a body in car trunk in a Spanish village where only 25 people live.
6. I was reserving and I started to slide sideways due to the snow. This is how close I got when I stopped.
7. Found a 9mm in a .45 after target practice into a log.
8. I found a WWII collector who had the exact shirt my grandpa was wounded in.
9. In the Netherlands, two trucks got stuck on opposite sides of the same bridge at the same time.
10. Make up your mind, McDonalds!
11. 3 planes crossing the exact same spot on the sky within short time.
12. Odd-Shaped Clearing
13.
14. A fan bet $50 on Eugenio Suarez hitting a home run, and ended up catching the home run ball live at the game.
15. Parked my truck in the dark last night.
16. That’s a lot of 2’s.
17. Total of Eleven 6’s, this will never happen again.
18.
19.
20.
21. Mixed veggie bag didn’t have a single carrot or green bean in it.
22. Consecutive plate numbers.
23. Crushed a mosquito between my club and the ball on a drive.
24. White elephant gift exchange. Three of twelve people brought the same gift. Too funny.
25. Quad Kings beaten by a Royal Flush 10 minutes before a 100k Bad Beat Jackpot would take effect.
Unfortunately pocket Kings are not in frame. For those that don’t know what a Bad Beat Jackpot is, it’s a bonus that gets paid out when a very high hand (quad 10s or better at this casino) is beaten by another hand. If this happened 10 minutes later 100k would have been split 60/30/10 between the loser, winner, and everyone else in the room.
