After several seasons of the Milwaukee Flamingos riding the dopamine of their marriage to the Tucson Butchers , including an unserious performance getting knocked out of the Rainbow/Season 6 Unwest Championship Series, they were finally ready to be serious postseason contenders in the Rainbow/Season 9 postseason.

Embracing their love of high-stakes with some reckless dice-rolling, they blazed straight through the Unwest Championship Series, clinching the pennant in a series of wild, improbable, and high-risk maneuvers that walked a chaotic knife's edge. Commentators were stunned by the all-in strategies and reckless tactics that seemed geared to unleash chaos, only to deliver a victory formation for the Flamingos by the final generation, game after game.

The high-risk all-in gambles continued into the Rainbow Cup series, and continued the Mingos' unnatural success. They trounced the Seattle Sneakers (the only team that came close to catching up) (the Salt Lake Turbulence and Alewife Arsonists left in the dust) - by Game 7, it was a no-doubter for the Mingos. They clinched the Season 9 Rainbow Cup with 71🌈.

Many fans of the Sneakers, Turbulence, and Arsonists expected the Flamingos to collapse at any moment, particularly critical moments, given the extreme gambles the Flamginos were taking, but the other shoe never dropped. The Flamingos themselves were surprised at their luck, continuing to let it ride and continuing to win.

The Rainbow/Season 9 Rainbow Cup series win made the Flamingos the patron saint of gamblers everywhere.
