Unless the pit bosses, err, I mean the refs, throw UK a little home cook’n for their gambling interests, this UK team ain’t beating any SEC team by 13!

Not unless Pope starts playing the best 8 guys in the correct combinations, for the correct periods of time! Which by all indications, goes against his DNA.

I’m really surprised the spread is that high. We’ve done nothing to earn that much respect.

But it usually turns out that Vegas knows what it’s doing when there’s an odd spread on the board.

Keep betting and you’ll keep going deeper in the hole over time. It’s proven. What do you think builds those big casinos and things?
With casino games you are quite correct but that's not my experience from sports betting. My experience with sports betting tells me you can win but you won't be allowed to do it for a real long period. It's not that hard to hit over 53% on sports betting if you are selective on your bets but if the bookies think you're going to continue to win they just stop taking your bets, or for online sports books, they might just limit you to $5 bets. It happened to me 4 times before I realized no bookie was going to let me get rich taking their money.

And what does that tell you? They will either win or they will shut you down. In the end they will not let you win.

They really don’t care if you win 40 bucks or 150 bucks. They will let you win a couple hundred bucks or maybe even a couple thousand bucks, but when someone rolls in with several thousand or 15 or $20,000 and bet on something their sphincter muscle gets really tight. Eyes get focused on the situation. This betting thing, and I do include referees in this, along with this NIL crap has ruined our sport.

Yes, I'm in agreement that you won't be allowed to win much. I'm just saying, that in sports betting, not everybody are losers.

I'm terribly upset with Pope's coaching ability and recruiting. I think he's in over his head, but I will never bet against the Cats.

On principle I won't bet against UK. But the money line is juicy on a game i see as basically a flip how were playing

I stand corrected. This time Vegas didn’t know its *** from a hole in the ground.
