Georgia’s men’s basketball team beat Georgia Tech this evening, 82-78, to move to 4-0 on the season. That’s not the reason for this post, though.
The spread of the game is…
Georgia entered tonight’s contest as a 4.5-point favorite. The Bulldogs were leading by 7 points with time expiring.
The Yellow Jackets then put a halfcourt heave at the buzzer and it went in. Georgia won by four points. Georgia Tech covered the spread.

That is what folks in the sports gambling community call a “bad beat,” a.k.a. a game that shouldn’t been a winner, but lost in crushing fashion.
This guy seems to know what we’re talking about…
You only react to an otherwise meaningless buzzer-beater like that if you have money on the game. At least his Bulldogs came away a winner tonight.
