[QUOTE="GT14, post: 934278, member: 3056"] In 2016 I'd just been hired back by GTRI out of grad school and I went for a run from my office and swung by Bobby Dodd. It was Wednesday, Nov 9 after Justin Thomas had been knocked out of the game vs. UNC the Saturday prior and coaches, media, and message boards (this one included) were optimistic that he would be ready to start on Saturday vs. #16 VT. On my run I saw JT come out of the Edge center with a sling and just *so* sad. I was (and am) a big GT fan and alum, but more importantly at the time I was fresh out of grad school and broke. So I knew that I had to make the first sports bet of my life and put the farm (or lack thereof) on VT. Ultimately, I couldn't figure out how to do so easily, then forgot about it, the didn't think about it again until the broadcast showed Matthew Jordan warming up with JT on the sideline. So my secret was out, no point in betting now, I no longer had insider info. Anyways, GT upset #16 VT that day and Matthew Jordan ran for 121 yards, although he was 2/7 for 34 yards passing. I haven't had much temptation to bet on sports since. [/QUOTE]
