sberry Good Morning.
I except that argumant fully, so shall we move on to the point in this case, that all the inexperienced <br>Our mothers, sisters, and in my case Grand Fathers should be protected from down right Con men.
The end of the Cave men, was or should have been the comencement of Laws, and I am certain that Our Great Wit is correct when he says that the Gambling Commision will finally get round to Scratch Cards and TV, Stoops.

So we have a tote a pool bet but allowing fixed odds to take place off the flutuating market pool odds.
I take it that the tote would last a week at those terms.
Any one disagree,.

I intend to go along to Whites the Gentlemans club in London to confirm a story that I have read about a 1890 event.
It was a cold dank evening and outside Whites the famous Gambling Club a vagrant had fallen, his fall had in fact blocked the entrance,to the club.
The Doorman did not know what to do he tried to drag him a little way further down away from the entrance with no avail.
Several members where put out by having to step over this poor sole. however a Doctor was called to administer a little advice.
Drag him inside and lay him on a table. the nearst table was a Rouette table not being used at the time.
An examination took place and a little group began to gather watching the proceedings.
After a few comments and questions the Doctor stated that the vagrant would be dead by 12.0 the time being at statement 11.36.
I have a PLum (£2,000) that he lasts longer than 12.0
The backer was non other than Harry Hastings of Hermit fame. <br>You have a bet confirmed Lord Glasgow.a well know Member racehorse owner.and ardant gambler.
The match keeper for the club was called an within a few seconds rules of engaement were confirmed.
Sustanance can be a little water, and that is all, stated the keeper of the Book, this was objected to by Glasgow.but quickly over ruled.<br>Quite a few Members had gathered and several bets ranging from scores to thousands on the out come <br>Will the Vagrant last until 12.0
An Harley Street Specialist, whose name is not recorded was placed in charge of the event by a promise of 5% of his winnings by Hastings.
By 11.55 the poor man was losing his fight but he still had a steady but very weak heart beat.
he is dead kept shouting Glasgow. the Vagrant has gone.
No said the Specialist.and an even loder NO said Harry.
At 11.58 a very large croud was evident and much pushing and shoving was taking place to see the result.
At that moment the table was pushed to one side with the poor man falling heavly onto the plush carpet.
At exactly 12.0 having been replaced back onto the green bauge of the Rolette table he was announced DEAD.
As stated at the begining of the tale I said that I intended to visit WHITES with a view of examining the Betting Book from the period. as I beleave that all bets were called a dead heat however a further footnote exists that Lord Glasgow was repremanded as to his future conduct.

Wit in 1800 there was a Bookie who would bet anyone odds or evens the toss of a coin as long as the Punter called.(The Coins were honest and si was the Bookie.)
The Bookie claimed that because the punter neaded the money and the bookie didnt it made that % fraction difference in the layers favour.
Is that possible.??????????

Gamble more enjoyment talking to you than actually winning in running.
If I am first to the ever lasting.I promise I will let you know the oportunites if any up there.(I Hope)
Dont forget Starlin ,Hitler, and Goballs, have little one bedroom flats in the same block.and love nothing better than a pint of Cider and a chat.
I surpose they may be a bit argumentative but not..as bad as the Blue Room.
Good luck

Wit I cannot thank you enough thought I was going daft getting worried about un thinking vunerable.
However I do get up tight about Scratch cards and these TV Games,
I hope that they are banned
Good Luck.

Purwell I only home that this stops just one old aged penshioner or 16 year old from giving away hard earned 75p

Ok you have missed the point. <br>Under the question it states count the numbers,
so 12 x 2 = 24 plus 16 equal 40 minus 7 = 33
However <br>(12) x (2) = ? plus (16) equals ? minus (7) and the numbers add up to
12 plus 2 Plus 16 Plus 7 equals 23,,,what about that and neither numbers are correct
That is why it is the Greatest Numbers Racket since the roaring 20s.
Cubone;) ;) ;)
Gamble I beleave that Racecourse Bookmakers are like Flowers.<br>Some only flower during a short gestation period.<br>Others are there all year but not very nice to look at.
But all flowers nead a little water,
Or at least protection from a blistering sun.
Without them it will be like the gobby Desert dont you think.
Cubone:biggrin:
Nightmare if you had watched the program you would have noticed that Racing and several others had stated that is was 33 and told No.
So your 75P is rather waisted dont you think.
I have put your name with all due respect in the vunerable.
Cubone:biggrin:
Thats two guess you have had Racing <br>Wrong again. at 12.0 they said there was another 15 minutes left before revalation by 5m to 1,o they there still going strong.
Even an answer of 0 and 1. followed by 11.199.
Numbers 33 was given at least 5 times during the evening They must declare turn over I assume I wouldnt be surprised to see that this is an amazing racket.
Cubone:angry:
Nice one Gamble.
Without Bookies there would be no one to argue with at the races.
And who whould buy all those chech suits and spats.:biggrin:

Gamble I havnt received the prize yet but I have been told to expect a free £100 bet for in running on ATR.<br>Not sure how much that will be worth.
Reminds me of when Lester Piggott was riding for a women champion Dog breeder.
She wispered to the trainer <br>Tell the jockey if he wins I will give him a prize PUPPY.
Lester whispered in the trainers other ear.
TELL HER I WOULD SOONER HAVE A MONKEY>:biggrin:
Gamble I am the only one left at the big house and would you beleave that i got an award as betafair (July)mouthy month.
Not the same and I miss you and the original dozen <br>There was a lot of stalkers over the past 2 years,but they seem to have died out.old age or joind some other cult.
Hope you are well and doing great.
Good Luck from Me and from DD.I know he will endorse that comment when I speak to him.
