Reeds little stunt just cost me $350
- Thread starter Drudis
- Start date
Reed, did in fact, commit a foul. He got him with his leg when he jumped by to block the shot.
The spread started at UK-1 and by game time it was UK-3 1/2. You lost your money b/c you didn't bet early enough.
He must have bet during the game because if he bet either time before the game UK was the dog. He had to bet during live action when they had UK +3.5, IF that ever happened and his story is true.
I try to live a Christ centered live…as best that I can… that’s why I don’t bet on anything…even if it’s a “sure win.”

Wow. Thanks a bunch for explaining that to me. I have always heard those terms and when I tried looking it up, I didn't get it. So thanks again for explaining them in a way I understand. That's really helpful.🙂
GO BIG BLUE!!!💙💙💙
Absolutely. A block so clean and amazing that the refs must have blown the whistle accidently in shock!!!
And if Reeds play at the end of the game cost you money, hope you keep losing it till April!!!!
He must have bet the under. The under was anywhere between 169.5 to 170.5. The two free throws put it over on some of the lines.
Yeah, UK escaped with the W, but I wonder what all of you who think that play was no big deal, would think had he given up a 4 point play?
OP, troll or not is correct, that was one of the biggest boneheaded things Reed could have done in that situation up 4 with a couple of seconds left.

Didn’t we have a guy a few years back that ALL he posted about was his sports betting?
I agree it was a mistake to go for the block because of the potential for a foul call
I also think it was an instinctive reaction and it might’ve been the right one had it been a 3 pt game rather than a 4 pt. He should’ve let it go
The block was clean though, he got all ball
Still he should’ve just
Which is dumber? What Reed did or betting on college athletes to beat a spread? I think the dumber person in this scenario is quite obviously the original poster.
I love Reed, but in this situation, it was one of the dumbest plays in sports. UK had ZERO percent chance of losing that game if he just let the guy catch and shoot like 999 out of 1000 players from high school to pro would have done.
It was a clean block so Reed did absolutely nothing wrong he did what he was absolutely supposed to do block the shot…… If you want to blame someone blame the dumb@$$ ref that blew the whistle for a phantom foul…
He did not touch the guy. He only blocked the shot. The official who made the call was out of position and did not see whether he fouled him. He anticipated the play. In 80% of the time, the ref would have swallowed a whistle.
Really hard for a freshman not to "play" right there. On the other hand, a senior (like say J Phelphrey) has the discipline to stay at home and not foul a guy who maybe has a hot hand and hasn't missed a foul shot all day. You have to learn that game/clock awareness. HAHA
I just love these kids are all dawgs. I thought Wagner got the lane whenever he wanted (a la SGA), the bigs both made a couple big plays. Reeves had a quiet 19. Next game it might be Dilly and Edward's. After that Shep and Bradshaw. By March, we could be a match up nightmare if everyone keeps their head right.

The line closed as underdogs. Only a live bet would have gotten him at -3+. Florida opened -1 on draftkings and many other sites. I think he was on the under, just can’t see anyone taking Kentucky -3 and up in a live bet for that much unless they didn’t watch any of the game.
Nope, just the reflexes of a stone cold assassin. Reed's a competitor, saw low hanging fruit right in front of him, and stuffed the stiff's shot. AND it was a clean block. LOVE this kid's fight!
I'd gladly venmo 350 if someone could fine and suspend that officiating crew.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time...
The UF players flopped and threw their head on any contact to get a foul called. The PG fell to the floor on every shot and it worked at least 2-3 times that they called a foul on no contact. The one play when he drove past Reed, dribbled the ball off his foot and then dove to the floor trying to get the ball before it went out and the ref trailing the play called Reed for pushing had me just shaking my head. 😂😂
if wagner or edwards did that... this board would have blown up.
Reed does it... haha no biggie.
I get all the love for Reed, but man some of our fans...
The backstory: this was literally my first time betting on sports. I was listening to the game 5 hours into a 7 hour drive through rain/snow while dealing with chronic back pain.
The outcome: me screaming the f word for a solid minute, making this post and then smoking 3 cigarettes back to back while severely breaking the speed limit.
The aftermath: I’ll never bet on sports ever again. And I’ll always remember Reed for that “Are you f***ing kidding me?!!!” moment and being the reason I don’t bet on sports. Perhaps that bone-headed move saved me from going down that rabbit hole….
Lesson learned. Quite ridiculously.

The first lesson is to bet responsibly. Nothing wrong with throwing 5, 10, 15, 20 on a game if you've got it. I make small bets, so if I lose, I'm not you, and about to shit a brick.
Sort of like what Feldhouse and Pelphrey did against Latener (sp?)?
Freshman making a freshman play. Sort of like the end of the Kansas game. Reminds you they are freshmen, learning on the go.
One thing they kind of left out is you win more or less on the moneyline depending in if you take the favorite or underdog. For example, the UK-U of L football game. If I bet $25 on UK and took 6 1/2 points (the spread) I would have won $23 and collected $48. I bet the moneyline instead and got around 2 1/2 to one so the same $25 bet won $62.50 and collected $87.50. If you would have bet the same $25 on Louisville to win and they would have won the game (ha ha) you would have won maybe $10 and collected $35.

Thanks for the additional information and clarification. I really appreciate it.
GO BIG BLUE!!!💙💙💙
Nope. We were up by 1 in that game and the guy catching it was 9-9 from the field. They should have defended. If we had been up 4, then they should have done what they did.
The ref that called that foul needs to be looked at. Maybe he has your 350$ because no one could see that on tv or in person and call it a foul unless they were really stupid or had another motive.
I don't see any contact but even if he did it was because the guy kicked his leg out. When they do that it is supposed to be an offensive foul as it was one of the infamous points of emphasis a couple of years ago.Reed, did in fact, commit a foul. He got him with his leg when he jumped by to block the shot.
I always just do $10 parlays. Hit last night with Maryland, FAU and Illinois. I like to have a little action, win some beer money for the bar, and if I lose its $10 so no biggie.
I'm up $600 doing that since online started. Doing I know a ton about the NBA? Not a ton but I will do their no sweat same game parlay because if I win, I win. If I lose, I get the free $10 bet I was going to do on NFL this weekend anyway.
