Sports Gods Logic

This bet was only based on Sports Gods' logic. Every sport has sport Gods. They are there to have the final say over the game to keep the sport honest and stamp the true legends of the sports they watch over. Math dorks and their analytics think they run sports, but they don't. The equations do not account for the Sport Gods. I used to like to watch baseball but never liked betting on baseball. Betting on baseball was like betting on soccer; the point spread seemed too high for the normal scores. Years ago, the fear that big market teams were going to push the small market teams out of contention was being talked about, and no one seemed to care. Eventually, that happened, and the World Series became a rotation of just four billion-dollar teams. My favorite small market baseball team could not compete and eventually left town. The evil empire won. I could care less about baseball after that. However, one name I kept hearing over and over was Ohtani. He was a pitcher that could hit home runs. He got traded to the Dodgers, the biggest contract. All good, but to me, if he is the greatest, he is going to have to do some Reggie Jackson multi-home run game in the World Series or, as a pitcher, throw a perfect game in the World Series. The 2025 World Series had started, and I missed the first two games; maybe they were in Toronto. So I decided to leave it up to the baseball Gods to immortalize Ohtani, and I was going to bet on the multi-homer game. I knew it would happen in the first game in Los Angeles. Two homers was the max you could bet, and three would have been too many. I needed to pair it with something that was almost guaranteed. Curry hitting threes was a no-brainer, but they start Curry with hitting five threes. Curry can hit threes all day, but he was not looking that great in the past games leading up to this game. I would have been crushed if I got the two home runs and Curry did not hit the threes. I put Curry to hit four threes. Sure enough, Ohtani hit the two home runs. I want to say Curry did not hit the fourth three until the fourth quarter, and he ended the game with only four threes.
