Can't Bet Alabama Baseball Games From Ohio as Suspicious Activity Found

Alabama baseball game betting is now prohibited in the state of Ohio after regulators determined there to be suspicious activity.  It was not immediately known if other sportsbooks in jurisdictions outside of Ohio would follow suit, including the offshore books.

The activity in question took place during Alabama's series-opening loss at LSU on Friday at Alex Box Stadium.

Las Vegas-based firm U.S. Integrity issued a report of suspicious activity on Friday, and that report prompted the Ohio gambling regulators to halt all betting on Alabama baseball on Monday. Bets on LSU, the current favorites to win the College Baseball World Series, are still permitted.

Details of the suspicious activity were not immediately revealed by Ohio regulators, however, Louisiana regulators have since disclosed what prompted the alert and subsequent action by Ohio state.  LSU was a -245 favorite in Friday's game and did go on to win 8-6.
