Sounds crazy but maybe this was the Texas law that was enforced





Gambling Promotion
Tex.Pen.C. 47.03 covers gambling promotion. It is also a technical statute and you should read it for any and all offenses and exception, but mainly that statute makes it an offense to (1) operate or participate in the earnings of a gambling place (defined as “any real estate, building, room, tent, vehicle, boat, or other property whatsoever, one of the uses of which is the making or settling of bets, bookmaking, or the conducting of a lottery or the playing of gambling devices.”);
(2) engage in bookmaking (defined as either receiving and recording or to forwarding more than five bets or offers to bet in a period of 24 hours; receiving and recording or to forward bets or offers to bet totaling more than $1,000 in a period of 24 hours; or a scheme by three or more persons to receive, record, or forward a bet or an offer to bet.)
Gambling promotion is a Class A Misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine not to exceed $4,000.

You are correct, he brought up no specifics or hypotheticals. He brought up a general question which cannot be answered generally because there are so many factors to consider. I am merely trying to point out some things to consider. If that constitutes beating my chest then I am guilty.

And that would be Mr. Dude to you.

Mr Dude

The OP lives in Texas and never made any mention of crossing state lines with syndicate money. You did and then defended it staunchly. I'd say that constitutes conjuring up a non existing argument to beat your chest to.

But he didn't say he wasn't crossing state lines either. And he didn't say where he was collecting the money or how he was collecting the money. I brought each of those up for consideration. They all present potential problems.

Time for my nap.

I would like to hear his two cents of additional info from his professional perspective.

FYI beating your chest is not that, it's when you post about some contest that you're doing well in.

We all miss out terribly-- so many talented lurkers don't dare post because of stuff like this.

What qualifies him as a professional? How do you know I am not a professional?

Actually I rarely post anymore because of people like you who are so immature that if someone disagrees with them, you have to resort to low ball name calling tactics such as your insinuation here that I am trolling.

That low level of intelligence that you display with that attitude is why you also do not have the intelligence to state your opinion on a subject without malice towards the person you disagree with. Its a reflection on you, not me.

I'll make a deal with you. Pick on me all you want. But don't pick on someone, then when they don't fight back, keep piling it on.

Or just don't drink and post. Bullying is not cool.

Stop embarrassing yourself by showing what an A-hole you can be.

Andy, you are 100% in the right in this thread.

Did they change the law in CA that got Gordon Jones arrested?

If not, that's prime example #1.

It only gets more complicated from there.

But go ahead...don't worry...anything you want to do is legal...
