Lamont marks year of legalized sports gambling in CT with wager on Yankees: 'I'm going to win it!'

On Friday, Lamont commemorated a year with legalized sports betting by placing another wager. In a video shared on Twitter Friday morning, Lamont is shown taking the 20-1 odds that his beloved Yankees will beat the Atlanta Braves in the World Series.


“I’m going to win it!” Lamont said as he placed his bet. 

Lamont’s wager comes just a week after he took to Twitter to share his thoughts on “fixing baseball” following Aaron Judge being walked four consecutive times by the Toronto Blue Jays. Judge was looking to surpass Roger Maris’ American League home run record, which he eventually did before the season ended.

“Nothing more boring than watching a home run hitter get walked over and over again,” Lamont said on Twitter.

“New rule … You walk a slugger like Aaron Judge once, he takes first base. You walk him twice in the same game, he gets first base and second base. Walk him three times in a game, you get the idea. And you walk him four times like Toronto did last night, you might as well pitch to him. It’s the equivalent of a home run. Let the batter, batter. What say you?”
