My favorite part of the article on the front page of the TDCAA website is the closing line....."We can ge around it....we can give cash money on the side...." I guess money "on the side" is a defense I have never heard before Will that work for cow patty bingo as well?

To quote from the font of life's wisdom, Mr. Allen's infamous "Amarillo Highway":

I'm a high straight in Plainview,
side bet in Idalou
and a fresh deck in New Deal.

So, as long as you're at least 10 miles from the I-27 corridor, I suppose it's kosher. After all, the AG didn't address side bets, now did he? Our colleague from Lubbock, the indubitably qualified Mr. Grace, will have to address the finer nuances of how side bets on cow chip bingo will be impacted by the opinion. And, yes, I use the word "impacted" loosely.
