gk10002000 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 the linked article says the registration and number given will be free.

NewbieMe2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 What would constitute as a dart board? If a bar has a sexy pinup of ChachaO, and someone happens to accidentally throw a dart at it, does the bar have to run to get that sexy poster registered?

Unregistered dart board = gambling, registered dart board = no gambling. Must be some sort of new high tech. anti gambling dart board.

lanista Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I was told by a Thai years ago that its a criminal offence to import playing cards in quantity and you can be arrested for possessing 5 decks or more in your home. It wouldnt surprise me if its true. Playing cards that are coated or with a nice gold band down the side attract a whopping import duty '. Heaven forbid that Thais should buy European cards when they can buy crap at the local market stalls. The junta will send this country back to a monkeyhouse.

Went to a muay thai fight last night and the gambling section was full. I'm guessing the boxing ring was not registered. Then there's the government sanctioned lottery... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon467367354 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 register all televisions to prevent gambling.

anon467367354 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 No one elected these people so why is it they are making rules that affect all of us rather than just keeping the peace which is what they started out as doing? Do they actually have any right to make laws even though they WERE NOT elected by the people that these laws affect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayduke Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Yes…absolutely…it’s about time the authorities crack down on this foul perversion. But registering dartboards is not enough. Effective immediately, all team and individual sports must be eliminated. All athletic competition (to include football, boxing, basketball, track and field events) must be forbidden. The government should also ban snooker, board games, bowling, playing cards, coin-tossing, scrabble, the National Lottery, cockfights and any competitive activity where someone might profit by winning . Scofflaws must be punished severely. The very security of the nation is at stake. Edited March 17, 2018 by Hayduke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
