N.J. Takes Strong Stance Against Gambling (Unless You're Betting At A Casino. Or On Horse Racing. Or The Lottery.)

111407sportsbook.gif
Investigators are probing an illegal sports gambling ring in New Jersey, concerned that Atlantic City's reputation will be sullied with betting on sports.

A source told the Associated Press more than 18 people have been arrested and a press conference is scheduled for the top of the hour. Some of the arrested have ties to organized crime! And probably Al-Qaeda!

Meanwhile, in actual crime fighting news, a six-hour standoff outside a casino ended peacefully. Also, there was near nudity! " The man, who was not identified, was ordered by FBI agents on the scene to strip down to his inner clothing and complied at about 4:45 a.m., said state police Sgt. Stephen Jones."
