I am really looking forward to this upcoming series with the hot Baltimore Orioles club.

Babe Ruth has played for both franchises although he was a minor leaguer when Boston acquired him from Baltimore who originally drafted him.

Nick Markakis also played for both franchises in his career.

I'm gonna be honest, this makes no sense. Someone placed a big bet on an underdog, so the books are scared?

The situation really is fishy. I heard differently than the article mentions. Last weekend, they had a gigantic bet come in (which is fishy enough on a less-followed sport like college baseball) on LSU right before it was publicly announced that Bama's SP was a late scratch. I guess it could have been innocent, but regardless someone in the know leaked that info and it probably made its way to a bettor. No book wants to take the action of somebody who knows more than them.

See last week I had seen the bet was on LSU as well, but this article says different. I just don't like it because the books have no problem feeding people terrible lines with lots of juice, but they get beat once and they stop everything and change the rules.
My favorite is live betting tennis on FD. Of there's about to be a huge upset or too many people are trading on a match they'll lock those matches until the lines become unplayable and then unlock them.

I think Trey has his facts wrong. The bet was on LSU, and that also makes the most sense because it was placed right before Bama's SP was publicly announced as scratched. A huge ML bet placed on Bama for that game would have lost; the book would have no problem with that and regulators probably don't do anything in response to it. I think the State of Ohio, and now New Jersey, thinks someone is leaking information to a bettor about Alabama baseball.

The link below thinks otherwise, but personally, any huge bet on a fairly obscure (not to us, but it is to a lot of people) like this is suspicious, basically by definition. It really is when big news comes out about Bama right after. LSU was a pretty big favorite, but still. I'm kind of surprised the book took it to begin with.
