[webfact]

 

Chonburi — Banglamung police and administrative officers apprehended 29 suspected gamblers on Tuesday, October 24th, among whom one person appeared to be a police officer.

At 10:30 PM yesterday, the authorities raided an illicit hi-lo gambling den hidden deep within the forested outskirts of Ban Phu Thai village, Banglamung district, Chonburi province. The police seized five hi-lo scoreboards, five plates and eight lids, gambling chips worth 15,000 baht, 36 money paddles, assorted cash sums, and over 610 dice used in the illegal game.

 

 

Notably, notebooks were discovered, documenting rental fees during gambling sessions. These records unveiled daily fees of 12,000 baht paid to the unidentified landowner and 2,000 baht to the den personnel. The record also revealed that the hi-lo activities began on October 12th, 2023.

 

During the arrest operation, police netted over 29 alleged gamblers (21 male and 8 female). Upon seeing the police, some gamblers tried to evade capture by fleeing into the forest, while some even attempted to escape into the water of a nearby pond. Nevertheless, the officials had already sealed off all exits, enabling them to successfully apprehend all 29 individuals.

Most of the local police force have the appearance of being a police officer without actually doing anything.

It's a great job, isn't it. Get paid for doing nothing, so why work? My brother-in-law is a policeman. I asked my wife what he actually does and she has no idea.

What is the potential  penalty for those who just participate?  

 

Seems like  a game with high favorable hiuse odds.  Anyone know the numbers? I asked to control the dice and uproar was " cannot!"  It seems like the house/ dice man has some control of the numbers. Aa well as the participants think there is info from the dish sounds amd observations of the dice mans technique.   Also i thought there is a benefit for the house to have a paid and bankrolled player on house staff.  She was a married milf in my case. Wow

600 dice?  I would be interested in their CG's. 

Also i wonder how many customers walked vs drove so we had a % of cars carrying guns.   As it atands 2/27 is about 4% and knives, was it 7? So 25%  .
