It sounded like a simple enough promotion. Every time the Miami Heat lost this season, the Whiskey Tango All American Bar & Grill would give anyone who stayed for the entire game a $25 bar credit. Assuming the Heat lost just a handful of games as projected by most NBA talking heads, the owners of Whiskey Tango would only stand to lose about—*carries the 3, adds 2*—well, let's just say the promo would pay for itself. But at this point, the Heat have lost 21 games—and the Whiskey Tango owes about 17,000 rum and Cokes (or roughly $85,000!) to its customers. Free promo FAIL! [via Last Angry Fan]
The Miami Heat Have Cost One Local Bar $85,000
LeBron, Wade, and Bosh better be ready to pick up the check!
