Reporting

Often during a major cricket event, you read reports such as this of bookies being busted.

Invariably, the report would describe the scene of action:

A cash of Rs two lakh, a TV set, a dish antenna, recorder connected to a laptop, calculators and mobile phones were recovered from the flat, they said.

It reads as if the police had just unearthed two tonnes of RDX from a terrorist's lair.

But the really sad part is this:

The accused booked under Bombay Prevention of Gambling Act, were later released on bail.

So much for doing what you thought fit with your own money.
