So my 2
bets from yesterday were looking good. The Kings +10 1/2 and Kings to win for
+465 against Golden State. Kings were up 5 at half and generally hanging tough
with Golden State. (Well hanging tough for a preseason game)
The +465 on the Kings to win was
looking especially good as the game was winding down. The Kings were up 5 with
3:14 to go in the game. All of the main players for Golden State were out, and
you gotta figure the home team would really try and win for the fans and GS
wouldn't care too much.
Whelp. This is what I saw as I was
following along on the box score play by play.
(Ian
Clark makes a 27-foot three-pointer from the left wing assisted by Patrick
McCaw) 96-94
Christ that is a really long 3. Keep in mind the 3 point line is 22-23 feet long. Kings turnover leads to...
(Ian
Clark makes a 26-foot three-pointer from the top of the arc) 96-97
Ugh another really long 3. Kings throw up a 20 foot brick then...
Patrick McCaw makes a 26-foot three-pointer assisted by Ian Clark 96-100
Now there is 1:50 left to go in the game.
Golden state just went on a 9-0 run in a minute. Even the back ups are hucking
3's like Curry. Kings call a time out. At this point I'm thinking there is
fair chance the Kings can still come back only down 4 and make me a winner on
my +465 bet.
Turnover: Foul on Malachi Richardson
Ian
Clark offensive rebound and lay up 96-102 1:19 remaining
Ugh ok looks like my Kings win bet is shot, but at least I have the Kings +10 1/2 so it isn't that bad ... well....
James Michael McAdoo makes a 26-foot three-pointer from the right wing assisted by Cameron Jones 50 seconds remain 96-105
!!!!! Another super long 3 pointer! 14-0 run. Now all GS needs is one more basket and I blow both bets from yesterday.
Ian Clark misses a 32-foot three-pointer from the left wing 27 secs left
I swear to God Ian Clark was trying to kill me in this game. Thankfully after this shot no more points were scored and the Kings cover the 9 point loss.
The previous games this week I watched on an illegal stream, this game I was just watching the box score update. It can sometimes be more fun to watch games this way. You don't know what's happening, and all of a sudden an update can bring you a ton of joy or panic.
3-0 so far on my straight up bets is pretty good so far, off to good start.
