Recovery of losses at gaming.<br /><br />A person who, at any time or sitting, by playing at cards, dice or any other game, or by betting on the sides or hands of persons who play, loses to a person so playing or betting, a sum of money, or other valuable thing, amounting to $25 or more, and pays or delivers the money or thing, or any part thereof, may, within three months after the payment or delivery, sue for and recover the money, goods or other valuable thing, so lost and paid or delivered, or any part thereof, or the full value thereof, by a civil action, from the winner thereof, with costs. If the person who loses the money or other thing, does not, within three months actually and bona fide, and without collusion, sue, and with effect prosecute, therefor, any person may sue for, and recover treble the value of the money, goods, chattels, and other things, with costs of suit, by a civil action against the winner, one-half to the use of the plaintiff, the remainder to the use of the District of Columbia.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15453813685418342406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-87471422670775987622009-10-22T00:08:13.750-04:002009-10-22T00:08:13.750-04:00Your article is very interesting, and very helpful...Your article is very interesting, and very helpful for beginner poker players. thank you so much for sharinggame informationhttp://www.nakhongame.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-47639210958584340212009-10-21T15:05:40.690-04:002009-10-21T15:05:40.690-04:00Around 15-20 years ago a group of 7 retirees was p...Around 15-20 years ago a group of 7 retirees was playing penny ante poker in either Bradenton or Sarasota Florida. The police raided their game and arrested the players, now known as The Sarasota Seven or Bradenton Seven (it was a while ago, the memory is weak, and Google is not being much help).<br /><br />Shortly thereafter, Florida stopped enforcing the law for games with no rake and pots under a relatively small amount ($5? $10?). They might have even changed the law.<br /><br />Anyways - you make a good point about being subject to a raid for any amount, rake or no rake. It has happened before, and may happen again.There are some who call me... Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501871165064593983noreply@blogger.com
