Minnesota Gambling Investigation Nabs Football Betting Pool

Low Hanging Fruit Report

From time to time, the Rackets blog will make these kinds of posts, "Low Hanging Fruit Report," which highlight the wasteful nature of the wars on drugs, gambling, and prostitution. 

For three months, agents of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) conducted random checks of 110 businesses across Minnesota. An illegal football betting pool was the most egregious offense that they discovered. The VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) in Austin, MN was fined because one of their employees was profiting from this betting pool. Carla Cincotta (Director of Alcohol and Gambling Employment Division) said, "Finding just a few violations in more than 100 establishments shows that bar owners and employees are taking their responsibility seriously, helping to ensure the public’s safety."

That's your tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen, but thank goodness the authorities didn't storm the VFW with the SWAT team like this poker raid in Dallas that was covered by Reason.com.
