OT—Former LSU WR arrested for illegal betting
https://www.nfl.com/news/patriots-wr-kayshon-boutte-charged-in-illegal-sports-gaming-scheme
Kayshon Boutte (now on the Pats, but prolly not for long) allegedly placed 8900 (!!) bets while in college under fake names, including 17 CFB games and two that he played in.

Shit, looks like yet another 3 game suspension for Harbaugh...

Another "winner" drafted by Belichick. WTF has happened in Foxboro? Unlike Jack Jones (loaded guns and ammo in bag at Logan) who they kept around, cut his ass today.

The sheer number of bets is the funniest part of this whole situation. Considering he was in college for 3 years that means he placed, on average, about 8 bets a day over that span.
I have to assume he was used as a middle-man as part of a much wider array of betting and these weren't all just his personal gambling habits.

No, the funniest part is that his screen name was... "Kayshonboutte01"

Clearly he has a gambling problem - that is about 24 bets per day over a year.
I guess he'll the join the list of "disassociated" persons now.

I hope he gets the help he deserves.

This guy bet on games he played in (and I'm sure none of his teammates knew and he never bragged/showed off his money).
Nothing will happen. The SEC won't do anything, the NCAA won't do anything, but Jimmy buys a kid a burger and gets 3 games.
Wouldn't that piss you off? No wonder why he's in the NFL and the SEC will rise again.

tip of the iceberg gentlemen

But sports betting won’t corrupt sports /s

He took our tweets literally.

Sooooooo, the HC is responsible, right? Asking for a friend.

The people that don't see the problem with this probably also didn't have a problem with Pete Rose.
I"ve met many people who think Rose didn't do anything wrong, there is no reasoning with this crowd.
