If Kerr Kriisa did bad business at UK it was 100% on the Georgia State game Nov 29, 2024.

[CameronCat22]

I still have the messages with my brother complaining that he single handedly cost me my bet. The line was 31, UK was up 35 with a minute to go and he came in firing the most atrocious 3’s. UK ended up winning by 29 and not covering. The reason given was he was 3 points away from 1000 and his family was there to see him that game. It was one of the weirdest last minute of a Kentucky blowout that I had ever seen.

Check the end of the game when he came in.

Kriisa?? - Forums

WTF was that in the final 2 minutes, forcing up back-to-back-to-back guarded 3’s as fast as he could. That is concerning

That was fishy AF. Those were some awful 3’s in the final minute.

There are probably hundreds of guys doing this in their games across college and pro sports. Maybe thousands.

That's a reach. He zero'd in the first 2 free throws he took that gave him his first 2 pts. The first 2 jumpers were off but not that bad, They looked like legit scoring attempts chasing the 1K pt mark. The last one was indeed terrible, but I dont think he did anything in this game that got him free coffee from the FBI interrogation room. It will all come out in the court proceedings.

Are you saying that you were betting on the UK game?

 

[ScWildcat3]

He was going for his 1000th point or something.

 

[Vek96]

I don’t think so. He was 2-6 from the field. 4-4 from the free throw line in 16 minutes of playing time. Not anything eye opening.

 

[TigerMoving]

If he was on the take he would not have drilled those free throws or genuinely tried to make a 3 that would have made it a 36pt game.

Maybe just don't bet.

 

[Titpwhahi2014]

I remember that and even cracked a joke about it with my father. Makes you wonder.

 

[rob_47]

Nah he almost drilled that 1st 3 attempt it was in and out..he was just being selfish and trying to get his 1000 points

 

[UKgrad22]

Echoing what some have said, but it was said on the broadcast during the game and after that he was 3 points away from his 1000th point, hence why he was just chucking up shots

 

[Padsfs07]

I actually remember that too and there was a thread here discussing it as well.

People don’t like facts only conspiracies

 

[Padsfs07]

well that’s a rather dumb reason and I don’t know that I’ve seen another player do something like that and now the FBI is involved.

The last 3's seemed suspicious but I agree that he would have missed at least one free throw and he was definitely trying with 2 minutes left. How could he predict the other team would hit a 3 or that one of his 3's went in and out? I don't see evidence to prove anything at least in this game.

Yeah, nothing really stands out to me about him in this particular game.

 

[FurdTurgason]

When you are shaving points it's much easier to do on the defensive end. Oops did my man get by me again?

Kansas getting ready to pass us in the all-time wins lead against due to us vacating games this time?

You probably shouldn’t have bet on a spread that large but what do I know.

This most likely true and absolutely pisses me off. Money/greed ruin everything.

This stuff has been going on for decades. It’s nothing new.

Interesting. You put a sentence in quotation marks that I never said or even implied, used the version you invented, and then concluded I shouldn’t bet.

I’m a casual bettor. Losing the bet wasn’t the point, it was the bizarre ending to a game that was already over. Kentucky was up 35 with about a minute left, Krisa came in launching contested 3’s at a time teams try to run out the clock, and UK ended up winning by 29 instead of covering 31. It was such an unusual sequence that people were talking about it that night, long before his arrest.

Thanks for demonstrating how much easier it is to come to a conclusion with something you made up rather than with what I actually wrote.

I’m sure but I also thinks it’s on a whole nother level now.

Not sure about that. I think it’s much easier to get caught now than it used to be. Cellphones are a tracking device. And all of these sportsbooks can see unusual betting on games that immediately gets their attention.

If he was trying to get UK under the number he would have at least yoked one of those FTs. If you're trying to throw a game or at least get it under a number missing FTs is the easiest way to do it, ya know, it happens. And he didn't.

He also rimmed out the first three, could he have been trying to miss and just accidently almost shot a perfect shot? I guess. But you're taking a leap there.

He also never does anything egregious on defense like letting his man just blow by or committing a dumb foul, and the bench is up and exploding every time he shoots, so obviously they know he's trying to him some milestone and the staffs been made aware.

I'm not seeing anything bad bad here. Could be wrong though, I'm not saying it isn't possible, I'm just not seeing where he's throwing the game. Just trying to hit a milestone in a game that's already over.

Now if the FBI would only look at refs...

Nobody had this on their bingo card

Former UK guard Kerr Kriisa allegedly operated $2.2 million online scam, indictment says

Former University of Kentucky men’s basketball guard Kerr Kriisa was arrested by FBI agents and is expected to be extradited to West Virginia in connection with alleged fraud charges, according to a report from On3.

It's a lot harder for players to shave points than it is for refs to move the score one way or another. The real action has always been on the officiating side.

Players who owe debts to the wrong people can and do give insider information about injuries or other not publicly known things that can help people making bets. But throwing games invites a lot of attention.
