How is that a rake-off for the house as everybody is free to share in the pizza and beer? This is just another example of wannabe tough guys too cowardly to actually do anything tough, so they go for the easy ones.

We had hold'em nights and people were asked to chip in for pizza & beer (or bring their own) We didn't take a percentage rake of the winnings, and neither did these guys. Asking for money for refreshments isn't illegal. I guess in San Mateo I'd be considered a criminal. I did this exact same thing in college.

It's not gambling. It's te same as a few buddies sitting around watching the game on the tube. How the hell did the cops get to sit in? A game this size is a social event. It’s not gambling.

The couple of officers probably lost money and then they decided on the take-down.
