KNOXVILLE - Knox County Sheriff's Office deputies raided yet another allegedly illegal gambling operation Wednesday night.
The latest raid targeted a poker game inside a private residence in the Bexhill subdivision in West Knox County, according to a KCSO spokeswoman Ashley Haynes.
Deputies discovered eight people around one poker table at 1304 Buxton Drive, and seized approximately $1,000 cash, Haynes said.
No arrests were made, but all information was turned over the Knox County District Attorney General's Office for possible charges, she said.

grinding at poker for supplement income? illegal...
losing your entire life savings in the stock market? completely acceptable.
Can't figure out a way to profit off of it? Gotta make it "illegal."
Scratch tickets that suck every last dollar from the poor, excellent! Seriously dude, it's such a joke sometimes. Grown adults unable to use their private, hard earned dollars to play cards with. Nanny state extrordinare.

and state lotteries that advertise huge jackpots, when the actual cash payout available as a lump sum is substantially less? also fine, as long as it's the state

I'm not sure if you've been in Massachusetts and heard the ads for the lottery, and how they tell a story in a quiet voice with the heart felt background music, about how the lottery puts cops on the street, and books in schools. Mind you, I'm not opposed to a state having a lottery. I just don't like the hypocracy involved.

I'm opposed to all of it. the worst is the hypocrisy, yes.
And I'm ok w/a lottery existing, but I don't think it should be a government function.
and advertising like you mention here is wrong on many levels. But the deception regarding payouts disgusts me most. Nominal dollars are misleading, particularly given implied discount rates that are so high.
technically speaking, killing online poker was a GOP initiative.... see Bill Frist's weasel move to sneak anti-poker legislation into the secure ports bill.
The Cambridge Cops did the same thing to us when we used to "shoot crap" in the back yards, they laughed their asses off while they were doing it, the Cops stole anything they could get their hands on back in "the good old days"

Maybe they did it at the request of Bill Bennett's wife.
