There were some big losers licking their wounds during The World cup after their favorite teams and savings had been eliminated. That is of course aside from the biggest of the losers Brazil of course. There were millions of gamblers around the world who lost their collective football shirts on the results. A sizable proportion of the gambling losers seemed to reside in Thailand - surprising really as gambling is illegal here.
Another loser was a gang of entrepreneurs who thought they were in for a jackpot with a stock of 60 illegal football gambling vending machines. The lazy sods simply couldn't get the machines distributed before the boys in brown placed their bets and called full time on the operation.
It seems that just about every senior boy in brown with egg on his cap was present on the raid at a warehouse on soi 15 between second road and soi Buakhao near the Welcome Hotel to cash in on this major victory for Pattaya Police Force versus the forces of Crime in Pattaya.
Khun Aphiwat aged 22 admitted to being one of the non masterful masterminds behind the operation and the whistle was blown on him and his depleted team of 7 co-conspirators who were caught trying to leave the field of play, given the red card and escorted to Pattaya Police Station for a post match debriefing session.
With 60 pristine gambling machines in storage at Pattaya Police Station you notice a paucity of police officers on the streets of Pattaya in the next few weeks then their may just be a reasonable explanation.
