Betting pools--reportedly linked to a multi-thousand dollar gambling syndicate--have been uncovered at Yale following an investigation by the New Haven police.
According to police, campus football bookies have operated through carriers who make up to $25 a week. Police said odds for the syndicate were made by a national office in Denver, Colorado. Members of the pool usually collected bets in student's rooms at the end of the week but, police said, Chances of winning were "very slight."
