uthorities Cite Gambling911.com Among Reasons for Raid on Cyber Bookie Home
The raid on Bodog.com Founder and CEO's Costa Rican compound Friday night came after much rigorous research by Costa Rican authorities which included among other things, reading articles on Gambling911.com.

At the time of the raid, Ayre was hosting some 100 people while shooting the final episode of a "poker" reality series.

Gambling911.com is cited in the affidavit that led to Friday evening's raid on Ayre's sprawling Santa Ana, estate.

Authorities also cited "investigating the premise and seeing models, many of them blonde, entering the compound, as well as many persons with American characteristics."

A drug dog was also brought onto the scene and thought if found something in the maid's room. What the canine found was the maid's underwear drawer. So the police went through every piece of underwear, one thong at a time.

Then the dog and trainer joined other officers at the buffet table after finding no drugs in the house.

Three officers stripped down and jumped in the swimming pool in order to explore a man-made cave under a waterfall. One officer walked into a glass wall three different times.

Upon entering Calvin Ayre's huge walk-in closet with guns displayed, they confiscated all old schedules related to previous week travel routes of celebrities participating in the poker reality series.

Police inside the compound ordered everyone out while police on the front lawn and street ordered everyone back inside.

"60 to 100 police officers arrived in buses," Ayre told Gambling911.com earlier in the day on Tuesday. "Crime must have been rampant in the rest of the city since there were no cops anywhere but my party."

Some of the officers were overheard in Spanish saying they had no idea why they were there.

Ahhh...a deck of cards was finally discovered as evidence until it was pointed out that nearly every house has a deck of cards. They left the deck there.

Officers asked the models in skin tight outfits if they had guns.

Actors playing guards for the reality show were arrested for failing to maintain guard permits.

When all was said and done, the officers confiscated two computers and one legally licensed pistol. The investigation concluded with no charges filed.
