Bad luck in sports betting comes in many forms. We heard this story during today’s telecast of the #Royals #Cubs game. We hope we recall the details correctly.
There was no batting practice before today’s game, but the Cubs’ Cody #Bellinger insisted on seeing some pitches. Cody dragged a coach and a curve ball machine onto the field and asked the coach to change locations on every pitch. He expected Royals’ starter Brady #Singer to throw him a lot of curve balls and wanted to gain a fresh command of the strike zone for the day.
Cody hit home runs on his first two at bats and drove in another run in his third at bat for a total of four RBI.
Three top sports handicappers had picked ‘under 8 runs’ for this game. They lost when the total runs landed on 10. The difference was Cody’s 4 RBI.
This was somebody else’s bad luck today because we didn’t bet on the game, but it’s remarkable how many different forms bad luck can take.
