Oh, bad beats. They are always terrible.
This one is a pretty standard one in basketball — a last-second shot at the buzzer than makes no difference to the winner and loser goes in, but because bettors have money on the spread, it makes a HUGE difference to them.
Here, we have the Kansas and Baylor ending from Monday night. The Bears were up 77-66 over the Jayhawks when Kansas’s Chris Teahan took a DEEP three near the logo at the buzzer and banked it in. The final score was 77-69, and if you had Baylor minus-8.5 or 9, you are VERY mad.
Also: check out the bottom right corner of the screen as it goes in and you’ll see someone who might have been mad at that outcome:
