Just last summer, I was having a good year capping in baseball, but I got into a stretch where every single little break went against me to turn what felt like it should be a huge profit by that point into being down a little. After the White Sox blew a great performance by Burhlre as the blewpen gave a Saturday night game away against the Padres the night before, I happened to be out in Chicago, and when I got home -- quite far from being in the clearest of minds -- I decided I loved the KC/AZ under 9.5 on Sunday.
So I bet my entire account on it.
0-0 in the fourth. 1-0 Dbacks heading to the 7th. Woo!! KC ties it in the seventh... game goes to the eighth, the ninth... still 1-1, we're going to extra innings. But it doesn't matter, because I can still give up SEVEN RUNS (very similar to BDB's story) and still win. The teams each score one in the 10th, and again in the 11th. No worries, though, still only 3-3 and we're in extras. Well, in the 12th, KC decides to put up a 6-spot. I could not believe it. I honestly felt sick. But life goes on, and I ended up reloading and rebounding in July.
Here's the box score from the f*cking game... still pisses me off just to look at it.
