Jimmy Cinnabon Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Maybe the suspended Iowa wrestlers got off easy? New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was arrested Thursday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, over allegations of illegal sports betting while he played at LSU. Louisiana State Police said the charges against Boutte, 21, include a felony count of computer fraud and a misdemeanor count of gambling prohibited for persons under 21. The investigation is ongoing, police said, with additional charges possible. Investigators assigned to the Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division found that Boutte bet on sports from April 6, 2022, until May 7, 2023, when he was 20. Boutte allegedly used an alias to get around the age requirement for placing sports wagers in Louisiana. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39386960/patriots-kayshon-boutte-arrested-illegal-betting-lsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is about as dumb as it gets and he should be arrested for that. And the sportsbook needs to be fined for booking the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Seems like mental mindset for some is to not hold people accountable for their actions. Deflect and blame the people who caught them for doing something wrong. I dearly hope this mindset doesn’t expand to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnwtwg Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 You can add up the quantity of bets quickly and not interested in playing blackjack. Let's say I like to watch the NFL on Sundays and there are 7 games I want to bet on. 7 games X 1 bet = 7 singeles bets Now I want to parlay those bets. 1 parlay x 1 bet = 1 parlay bet Aw shucks, I want to hedge so I'm going to do a full round robin where it's packages of all parlay combinations of two game (21x), three game (35x), four game (35x), five game (21x) and six game (7x) bets. 7 singles bets + 1 parlay bet + 119 round robin bets= 127 total bets FYI, seven games would be less than half of a full NFL weekly slate (16 games). If you bet something marginal like 50 cents to $1 per bet, you're statistically not going to go up big or down a lot throughout the course of the season even as a broke college kid. So you keep betting every week because it's fun and you're only up/down net $10 bucks for the season. 17 weeks of the NFL regular season multiplied by 127 bets per week (see above example) = 2,159 total bets before the playoffs. Should student athletes be betting on their own sport or their own school? No. Should pro athletes bet on their own sport? No. Do the pro leagues and NCAA taking that sweet, sweet legal gambling money have anyone to blame but themselves? No. i am an idiot on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always get nailed by the Feds for using it.

It literally is just reframing back to the way it used to be before NIL almost. The NCAA is still working so very hard to maintain an asymmetric (ie domineering) relationship with athletes. They are so bald-faced in their motives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
