The Punt! To Dunk or Not to Dunk...That is the question.

With only 0.01 seconds left Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder a meaningless dunk by Jason Terry sent the gambling world into a frenzy. If the dunk counts then the Mavericks win by 6 and both sides 'push'. 

As the twitter world exploded with punters desperately hoping if fell on the right side, the decision was made that the clock had reached 0.00 before the ball left the hand of Terry and therefore the score ended up 100-96 and therefore those that took the +6 on the Thunder were lining up for some cash money and the Mavs bettors were left with another bad beat story.

She is a cruel game 'The Punt'. Thankfully those stories tend to even out and they just contribute to stories reminiscing over a few cold beers with friends over the years.
