Gambling. What are the odds you'd get arrested for that?

Sometimes it is interesting to read things about crimes elsewhere because even though in English its almost non-understandable in its own way.

For example what is the game of teen-patti or teen-pathi (flush)?  Just how much is Rs 5.42 lakh in cash and the like?  Find teen-pathi here.

I'm not being a chauvinist, I find it interesting.
