OT: State of Ohio Prohibiting Bets on Alabama Baseball Games After 'Suspicious' Activity; Alabama baseball coach is fired
David Purdum of ESPN reported gambling regulators in the state informed licensed sportsbooks to stop taking bets on Alabama games due to "suspicious wagering activity" for Friday's contest against the LSU Tigers.
The Alabama head baseball coach has been fired, I would guess in direct relation to the betting angle:
Apparently the bets were placed by someone who knew the head coach of Bama.
Yeah I just read he was on the phone with the Bama coach shortly before placing the bet(s).
It's better than that:
Protip: If your inside information is so hot you can't wait until you get off the phone to place the bet, use the mobile app at home instead of doing the whole thing in front of the book's surveillance cameras.
Someone was trying to communicate with Bohannon? Probably Chris Frantz.
