It's like a catch-22.  Who do you call when someone robs your illegal gambling club?  The Gottis? No! I guess your only choice is to call the cops.

That was the situation at a New York gambling house frequented by such stars as Alex Rodriguez, "Sopranos" star Robert Iler and several NBA players.

The gunmen busted in at around 12:30 a.m. and ordered the club's "bank" and roughly 70 patrons to hand over their cash.
