Ohio Halts Gambling on Alabama Baseball Amid Suspicious Betting
- Ohio gambling regulators have instructed licensed sportsbooks to halt betting on college baseball games involving Alabama due to suspicious wagering activity detected on Friday's game against LSU.
- U.S. Integrity, an independent integrity monitor, issued an alert regarding suspicious activity on the Alabama-LSU game.
- The halt on betting was issued on an emergency basis by the Ohio Casino Control Commission executive director Matthew T. Schuler.
- There is no national sports gambling regulator, so betting halts typically happen state-by-state.
- LSU was heavily favored to win the series against Alabama, which they ultimately did.
