The police seized 740 baht in cash from 15 gamblers. Must have been a huge operation ....

Absolutely pathetic.

A massive haul of 50 Baht per person.......certainly a high roller event.

Meanwhile around the corner, one man sold a few thousand Baht worth of drugs, and across Thailand millions of Thai's are spending millions of Baht buying lottery tickets at inflated prices for that "special" number, all with impunity as the Government rakes in millions, and of course, the lottery is not gambling.........

Wait till the wives find out they were gambling with the dinner money... they'll cop-it big time then.

Who says that cash was all they bet if you read the whole article you see that they had a notebook for gambling activity. Perhaps people had a tab or something like that. But if it really was just 740 baht then its crazy.
