Think you've heard everything about gambling? Think again. The Associated Press reported that Hong Kong police arrested 115 men for illegally gambling on insect fights on Sunday in the same building that housed a cricket lovers' association, a police spokesman said. Police seized about 300 crickets and $1,025 in cash during the bust, said police spokesman T.K. Ng. The alleged bug gamblers remained in custody Sunday, but weren't immediately charged, Ng said. Illegal gambling carries a maximum penalty of $1,280 and three months' imprisonment.
