At first I thought this question might be a joke but then realized it must be serious. Of course it is ILLEGAL to place a bet through a bookie or in most any other fashion except at a licensed paramutuel parlor on certain poker games and slots, certain racing or jai lai, and slots in Broward County, Florida. What would give you the idea it was legal?
