WAFB has updated the article again with more information, also updated in OP.
quote:


Boutte allegedly created the name of a fictitious female, Kayla Fortenberry, to create the online gaming account and used his own mother’s credit card to fund the account, the warrant says.

Seventeen wagers were made on NCAA football, which including wagers on LSU Football between the dates of August 28, 2022 and October 9, 2023, the warrant states.

Six of the wagers were on LSU football, including one game where he bet on himself, investigators allege.

That particular game was LSU versus Florida State on September 4, 2022 where Boutte allegedly placed one bet that he would personally score at least one touchdown in the game and another bet that he would have over 82.5 receiving yards.

According to the warrant, during 2022 and 2023:
Boutte deposited a total of $132,147.53 into the account
Boutte won a total of $556,267.58, but used most of that money to make additional bets
Boutte withdrew $50,282.36 from the account

For all the people assuming he threw the FSU game, he actually bet one himself to score and bet the over on his receiving yards. Imagine how he wouldve played if he didnt have money on himself

Wait so he took his own Over on receiving yards and took an Anytime TD and he STILL dropped that TD and posted 2 for 20? So, then he wasn't point shaving, he was just that awful. Yikes.

He was 21-yrs-old and a member of the Patriots when he placed at least one of those six bets. He was neither underage, nor betting on his team.

The authorities threw everything into that warrant. Why are any bets he made after turning 21, and after leaving LSU, relevant to the investigation?
