The recent decision by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board to suspend prop bets on individual athletes' performances in college sporting events is a significant development in the world of sports betting.

Prop bets, which involve wagering on specific athlete achievements, have been put on hold in response to calls from NCAA President Charlie Baker for states to implement similar bans.

Effective August 1, prop bets on individual athletes in college sports will no longer be allowed, with only bets based on full team statistics permitted.

Former LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte's arrest in January for allegedly placing illegal bets, including prop bets on his own performance, shed light on the potential risks associated with individual athlete prop bets.

As the NCAA takes steps to protect student-athletes and preserve the integrity of the game, it is clear that more work needs to be done in the realm of sports betting regulation.
