An Englisi, bookmaker tells in the follow
ing manner how he became a layer of odds:
Il was pot man in west end beer house
twenty-five years ago and what struck me
was that lots of gentlemen's coaclimen were
always king me for the loan of a sovereign
or a FLYER to pay their debts with. Thought
tomyself: That's very odd; these men seem
to be always a dropping OF their money.
Who can be lifting il? It's them book
makers, thinks /, and that bookmaking Is
surely not a bad game if people be always
a backing of the wrong horse. So then and
there starts a little book, just for silver
money, and got on So well at the business
that gave up handling the pots, and now
go to the meetings with the best of them, and
can lay the odds to n 10 or 90 pound note
and think nothing of it. Only fools back
horses, sir; wise me pturn bookmakers and
LAY 'cm: and. as know, there are 4 lhousa nd
fools for every wise man, so, you see, sir,
there's plenty of business for me and such as
me-"
