I can't believe they ran this stuff right out of the casino. Thats not exactly the smartest thing to do, despite the obvious interest.

Police: 18 arrested in gambling ring run out of Borgata casino

Police say six casino employees and four known mob associates from Philadelphia were arrested in a sweep this morning by agents from the FBI's Philadelphia office. The suspects, all with links to organized crime, are being held by the New Jersey State Police and will be arraigned later.

Another five people are reportedly being sought.

Eyewitness News is told the suspects used the poker room at the popular Borgata to run illegal gambling operations, mostly on college sports. Their operation took in $22 millon in football and basketball bets since March 2006.

The illegal activity was apparently unbeknownst to upper casino management. However, six casino employees were among those arrested.

The reputed members of organized crime include Michael Lancellotti and mob associate Anthony Nicodemo, officials said.

Casino management knows EVERYTHING that happens in their casino.

It is rather funny isn't it, because this type of stuff happens at the casinos around here. However, I won't mention the casinos names at all on a public forum at all.

bigboydan,

I see where you are coming from here and I think your right this stuff happens here, it just isn't told about much. I wouldn't put those names of them casinos but I do know what you are talking about though.

[curious]

So, what will the charge be?

Gambling in a casino???

Oh It's true... In fact it's on your side of the pop bridge

[tblues2005]

I sure understand where your coming from there bigboydan, by the way how do you like what the new casino is going to be like here? I think it looks pretty nice. They are supposed to have it opened next month.

Hell it is everywhere, bookies are a dime a dozen. Never understood all the people on here that say
'how do you find a bookie."

[bigboydan]

Ya, I was downtown the other day actually, and it's really coming along nicely right now. I'll probably head over there after the newness wears off a bit. I know they have another one slated to open in 2009 on the south side down around the where the JB bridge area.

same thing as asking the question, "how do you find a hooker?" good ones are hard to come by, people usually pass on the good ones by word of mouth...descriptions are important too, like vig, paydate, settlement amount etc. you probably wants to know if a girl gives good head. no point roaming the sunset strip(not sure if that is still the spot now) when your buddy can just give you a phone number.
