Thailand's deputy prime minister speaks in favor of legalizing football gambling

More gaming options should be legalized, according to Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister.

In order to raise tax money that can go toward aiding the less fortunate, the deputy prime minister wants to legalize other types of gambling, such as football betting. Not all sports, meanwhile, are prohibited in Thailand from being bet on.

Over 1,700 persons from Thailand were detained for gambling-related offenses during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
