I have no idea. But with millions of dollars on the line, I'm not surprised.
Suckers!

Does this look like they may have been watching him already? Honestly, the chances of this being the first and only time he did this seem slim, and to get caught... Very unlikely. Maybe they were watching him already?

was able to break the story before I could confirm with a 2nd source Some quotes I got from my sources
“Phone records were searched (which lead to instant firing)”
“A lot of money was bet”
“Not the only time it’s happened”

Notice we haven't heard a thing about the Ohio guy who placed the bet. Have to wonder if he was being surveilled and it wasn't just the usual spy-in-the sky casino cameras.
It may be this wasn't the first rodeo and the casinos/U S Integrity were onto them. Again, why nothing about or from the guy who actually placed the wager?

First reaction is to wonder why he did it. We hear a lot about someone being addicted to gambling.
I didn't used to believe that. I thought everyone could just say, "I'm not betting again."
Then I met a guy in college who was truly addicted. Very nice guy, very smart, good grades, well-liked, but he could not stay away from the betting.

"The guy who placed the bet" did nothing wrong from a legal perspective. Bohannon did not break any legal laws; he apparently violated SEC, Alabama, & NCAA rules. From what I've read, a computer program installed specifically to monitor betting found some red flags...not specified so far...and this is what initiated the investigations. It was not just a random "catch".

Considering the swiftness that everyone acted with on this I’m will to bet (uh thank you) they already had suspicions.

I don’t know whether that’s connected to anything or not, but it sure seemed like a strange hill to die on at the time.

Don't you think the Alabama athletic department might have checked into that before firing their head coach?

Imagine being a player and finding out your coach was shaving points. Holy shite.
He wasn’t shaving points. It was a straight up bet.

Ott just said the bookie’s cameras saw the number the guy was talking to. Looked it up and it came back as Bohannon. That’s how he got caught.

So he needed- and found- a way to get out of the dugout. He had to take care of some business.

He should have just placed the bet via transfer from his wife’s checking account. That would have been smart.

Which goes to make any decision he made during the 9th inning rally... even if it was a normal move or worked out in Alabama's favor... questionable

This really doesn’t matter as far as what triggers an investigation. Anything over 3k bet on anything will start an investigation. 99% of the time, the bettor is completely unaware they’re being investigated. Even if nothing comes up during an investigation, I can pretty much guarantee you’re being followed around by a member of surveillance the rest of the time you’re on property.

Move over Will Wade, there's a new idiot in town.
So is that why he got tossed from the LSU game? Final score/run differential screwed his bet ?
