THONBURI:-- Police busted a call center in Thonburi on Friday that was taking millions in bets on football and the gambling game baccarat.

 

The raid was the result of a month long operation conducted by officers connected to police departments related to money laundering.

 

The call centre was the heart of a gambling operation run through four separate websites.

 

Some 30 officers armed with search warrants took part in the raids on two rooms in the luxury Smart Condominium in the Bang Khun Thian Road Soi 16 area of Rama 2.

 

A woman in charge - Phatraporn Patanaworakitkun, 25, - and six employees were taken into custody. Of these two were men and four women.

 

Ten computer notebooks and twenty phones were taken into evidence.

 

The staff were taking bets from both Thai and foreign customers. Among the bets were football and baccarat though other areas were also on the books and bets taken amounted to many millions in turnover.

 

Further details were expected later Friday.

How do you bet on baccarat over the phone?

By contrast the Vietnamese government is considering making gambling on football legal but with stake limitations.

Thailand doesn't seem to have any guilt about allowing lottery gambling or collecting the taxes from it. They should be thinking the same about football and at least make some money out of it like the baddies do at the moment. The punters will always find somewhere to place their football bets

You either bet on the player, the dealer or for a tie. High rollers in Vegas used to call from their rooms and make wagers on table games. Same Same.
