You won't go to jail if you are booking for 10 or so people and they are betting a hundred here or there. Dice/Card games get busted all the time with thousands of dollars on the table and these guys only get fined which is probably what would happen to you. Though the question is whether you would have a 'criminal record' which could hinder future employment/travel out of country but i'd even highly doubt that would be the result. That said you absolutely have to have more than $2500 even if guys are betting a buck or two, as 3-4-5 guys all on the same game a day or two in a row that wins would bankrupt your little operation.
