    Robbie,If you can avoid a grand jury DO IT.When the hell are they going to stop picking up locals.I was picked up by the FBI many years ago for bookmaking.It was my first offense but I got a 3 year sentance {!5 days in the can}and the rest probation plus a $5000 fine and lawyers fees came to $7500. This was 1975 when a buck was a buck.Your better off robing a bank than make book. Probation was brutal as the judge told me if I got picked up for any gambling offense I would do the remaining 2yrs 11 months and 15 days behind bars.Your best bet is to get a lawyer as the IRS is brutal also, their like a credit card company. No matter how much you pay them it seems it's all interest and the number stays the same. I wish you luck my friend. Ciao Il Duce.
