None. If you don't play it for financial gain it's just like playing cribbage or any other card game.

Where u from in da PI? I know at big billiards halls..such as ones in Manila..the ones in the malls..or at Robinsons..they hold a tournament every 2 months or so. Just play pool at one particular pool hall..get to know people..talk with people. I was playing pool the other day at Robinsons Imus..a place i usually play pool. I was talking with the people i usually talk to..n in within an hour..we started our own tournament...10 of us on one table. The winner won the pot money..n everyone paid for the table. There's many games like that..or informal competition like that. The winner that time won over 1000pesos with a 150peso buy in.

In many areas, "scalping," or the reselling of tickets to an event for more than their face value, is only illegal on the premises where the event is held.  The law varies from state to state, city to city.

License??? It is illegal in most places but if you use the internet as the betting medium you can circumvent that particular problem buy setting up your establishment offshore. You indeed will need capital. But more important than capital is the ability to get the spread correct. Most bookies do that by on the fly adjustments based on the bets that are made. \n\nInternet bookmaking is very profitable. One of the billionares entered the business just a few years ago and is making $300 million a year.  That is going to be your biggest problem. You are a late comer and have established competition that you face. \n\nThe amount of capital needed is a good question. If you start small say in a bar you do not need much. Maybe $1000. I kew a guy one time that put out betting sheets on football games. All the games were listed on the sheet and their spreads. All you had to do was bet a dollar and pick 4 teams. If those 4 won, you got $10. People bet like mad. They thought it was a good deal. But think of the odds against winning. 2 to the 4th power. 16 to 1 against you. There were very few winners and he cleaned up. I never played. The odds were against me.

It differs from state to state. But you will probably be fined and the establishment may be fined also, have their liquor license revoked, or be shut down.

If they are free, then there are no legal issues.  We used to have a fund raiser like this, accept we would sell suckers for a dollar, and with the sucker you got a free raffle ticket.

Go to the California lottery website. I think Virgina does. It says you can play up to 20 draws in advance.

Contact city council for info.  Catholic churches have alcohol and festivals and poker nights all the time, so I personally don't see why not, but ask just in case.  Better to be safe than plastered all over the media for doing something incorrectly.  \n\n:)Good Luck!
