BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Former LSU football player Kayshon Boutte was arrested on charges related to illegal online gaming Thursday, following an lengthy investigation by Louisiana State Police.

Boutte is accused of creating an online betting account under a fictitious name and then placing illegal bets while he was still under the age of 21 and not legally allowed to gamble.

His efforts led to more than $500,000 in winnings, with the vast majority of that money being used to place additional bets, investigators allege. Boutte, who is now 21, is currently listed on the roster of the New England Patriots. He played in five games for the Patriots last season. He is accused of placing nearly 9,000 illegal wagers including two bets on at least one LSU football game that he played in, his arrest warrant states.

True, a victimless crime. The only troublesome aspect is how many more? And who could be involved directly affecting a spread.

Kayshon Boutte really tried to hide his illegal gambling under the name ‘kayshonboutte7’​


The receiver did nothing to hide his identity, allegedly using his own name as his usernames on sportsbooks

Records claim that in 2022 and 2023 Boutte placed over $636,000 in bets — losing a total of $81,000 in the process. The receiver also placed specific bets on himself, which didn’t go well.

The first post is a bit deceptive; $500k in “winnings”. To me, $500k in winnings means you netted that; not just $500k in cashed tickets. Sounds like my mother at the casino. “I won $1000 playing slots,” she would tell me. And I would ask how much did you push thru the machines to get that $1000 back. “About $1500,” she told me. Me: enjoy your “winnings”.
