From the New York Times:
For hundreds of miles — and pending a mild border dispute that perhaps involves an attempted land grab by Gov. Rick Perry — the Red River forms the Texas-Oklahoma border. It also lends its name to those two colleges’ annual game. You can follow the river’s windy course on the map with striking precision, as residents of each state are remarkably loyal to their respective flagship public universities. The clarity continues up the suddenly straight eastern border of the Texas panhandle.
The Oklahoma City Thunder also see substantial betting throughout the NBA season.

The penalties for Simple and Aggravated gambling in the state of Texas are MISDEMEANOR.
Simple vs. Aggravated: The distinction between "simple" and "aggravated" gambling is also one that varies from state to state. That terminology may not be used in a state's criminal law at all. It may be phrased as mere "gambling" versus "professional gambling." It may come into play only based on second or third violations of a given criminal prohibition. The approach used in compiling the chart is generally based on the presence of professional gambling, which involves those who make money on the contest or game other than as, and on an equal footing with, a mere player.
