Robert decides to make extra money by operating a fantasy football website where individuals can wager on the outcome of their fantasy football teams

Before starting the site, Robert checked with his attorney who told Robert that such a website did not violate the Texas gambling statute because the internet is regulated by the federal government, not the states. Three months after operating the site and making thousands of dollars, Texas Rangers arrest Robert for gambling promotion. Robert will be found not guilty of the charge due to the fact that his mistake of law was derived from legal advice from his attorney.
