Place Your Bets

Last year, in Riverside County, Margaret Hamblin, 73, and Cari Gardner, 39, were arrested on charges of operating a $50 March Madness betting pool at an Elks Lodge in 2006. Who knew you had more to lose than your money when you picked your bracket.

But never fear: new state legislation would de-criminalize social betting pools.

Just probably not in time for this year's Tournament. So watch your backs.
