BUCKET SHOP
GAMBLING
BIG ENOUGH TO PUT MONTE CAR.
10 PROFITS TO
SHAME.

Professional gamblers who have
e. nc against all sor,s of games the
world over. from roulette to bucket
shops, have no hesitancy in saying that
the places operated in this city under
the names of bankers and brokers
offices offer the smallest chance tc
win, says a writer in the Boston TRAY
eler.
Many of them make no pretense OF
actually buying and selling stocks
Their patrons simply BET on the rise
and fall of stocks, the margin being
the amount of the bettors wager.
Allowing, for the sake of argument
that the customer gets fair deal
the percentage of chance in favor OF
the bucketshop proprietor, as compar
ed with the customers chances OF
winning, are higher than in any form
OF gambling. Just so surely as water
runs down hill. sooner or later the
high percentage working in the pro-
prietOr's favor will wipe the customer
out.
The habitues of these resorts under.
stand the situation perfectly. They
know that the proprietor of the shop
is neither buying nor selling stocks
They realize that the proprietor's com
missions turn the scales against them
in the long run, in accordance with
we'll defined laws of chance; they
will figure it all out for you if you
ask them and will prove to you that
the bucket shop can not fail to win in
the end, and yet-and yet they will
keep on at the game.
