Gamblers repeatedly cash in on brutal Angel Reese bet
A group of gamblers is betting against Angel Reese for one specific moment that has repeatedly cashed for them - the Chicago Sky star missing her first shot of each game. Videos from the Stadium Live app and their social media have gone viral, each with a group of bettors waiting to see the first attempt from Reese. After making her first shot in Chicago's season opener against the Indiana Fever, Reese has missed her first shot in each of the next five games. Those bettors are currently perfect in terms of hits, with their next chance to extend the streak coming on Saturday in a rematch against the Fever. The Stadium Live app does not use real money, with the bettors collecting points, which can be traded for prizes, with each hit. The celebrations for Reese missing shots have gotten more extravagant with each game. One successful hit saw a drum set and a vuvuzela used. These elite gamblers have bet Angel Reese will miss her first shot @WNBA and they're killing the game, now 5 for 5 in May — Jon Najarian (@jonnajarian) May 30, 2025 Another Reese miss sent the bettors crazy, who were wearing sunglasses inside, with one individual wearing a virtual-reality headset. Reese is not having a bad individual season, as she is averaging a double-double with 10 points per game and 12.3 rebounds per contest. Yet, the Sky are 2-4 and out of a playoff position in the early stretch of the season. Saturday's rematch between the Fever and Sky will see Caitlin Clark reunite on the court for the first time since their near-dust-up last month. Reese had to be restrained after Clark knocked her down and caused her to spill the ball moments after she grabbed an offensive rebound near the end of the third quarter. As tempers hit boiling point, Clark turned her back and walked away as players from both teams got between the two to stop things spilling over. Reese then walked to the side of the court where a Chicago Sky official stepped in front of her to try and get her to cool her temper. The WNBA has launched a racism investigation a day after the altercation during the showpiece game, with Fever fans as the suspected culprits, but found no wrongdoing.

Troubling Angel Reese Trend is Going Viral
Troubling Angel Reese Trend is Going Viral originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Chicago Sky star Angel Reese continues to be a rebounding machine, averaging 12.3 rebounds per game so far this 2025 season. However, her offense leaves much to be desired. Advertisement Despite expectations that she would improve offensively this campaign, especially with playmaker Courtney Vandersloot returning to the Windy City franchise, that hasn't been the case. Reese has averaged just 10.0 points through six games, and she's making just 31.1 percent of her shots — a massive drop from her 39.1 percent shooting clip in her rookie year. Her two-point shooting percentage, in particular, dropped to 31 percent from 40 percent. Amid her offensive woes, one trend about her game that fans have noticed is how she frequently misses her first shot during games. In fact, Reese has missed her first shot in five of the six games she has played so far. The concerning trend has taken the spotlight thanks to a series of videos by Stadium Live, whose crew has been betting for Reese to miss her first shot since the Sky's first game. Advertisement The six videos from Stadium Live have generated over 1 million views combined, with many poking fun at Reese over the ugly streak. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5) complains to a WNBA Jones-Imagn Images "They are making more than her yearly salary betting on her missing," a commenter wrote, referring to Reese's $74,000 salary for the 2025 season. "Angel reese feeding families," another follower shared. A critic claimed, "She's got 0 post moves her whole bag is just turn around and brick the lay." "The best defense is an Angel Reese offense!" a social media user remarked. A fifth poster noted, "She gotta be betting it too." It remains to be seen if Reese can become a more consistent offensive force for the Sky. One thing certain, though, is that there will be plenty of eyes on her every game — waiting to see whether she makes her first shot or not.
