Alabama fired baseball coach Brad Bohannon in the midst of a sports betting scandal that has operators in four states no longer accepting bets on Crimson Tide games, and on Thursday, the hosts of “Bayou Bets” gave their takes.
The show covers sports betting and Louisiana sports, and both Zach Ewing and Jim Derry had plenty to say about the ongoing controversy.
Both were concerned with the reports, stemming from Alabama’s loss on Friday at No. 1 LSU, but neither thought that this spelled doom for the new era of sports betting.
Also discussed in Thursday’s episode of the show, which is sponsored by Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of The Advocate and Times-Picayune: NFL power rankings from a national writer that have the Saints 27th in the league, Kentucky Derby picks and NBA playoffs take as the second round rolls on.
Watch the show live at 4 p.m. every Monday and Thursday on the Bayou Bets YouTube channel, or on demand any time. Bayou Bets is also available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
