No gambling maybe? You know like in poker, domino's, golf, billiards. About 25 years ago I was stationed in NM. Not much to do around Clovis, so I shot pool at the local domino and pool parlor. Was bunch old men playing domino's at the back making all sorts of noise.

I asked the guy that was fleecing me out of my lunch money what was big deal about domino match. He said them old men some times have as much as 5k or more on game.

I said wow am I going to see some one get shot over dominos game? Two weeks later the guy I was shooting pool with was handing out the balls and taking the rent money for the tables. I said you working here now, he said no it's my place I won it in dominos games last week!
