ed hackers for the Boston Braves were
hard to locate, but considerable money
was wagered in large individual bets

When Boston won the first game
supporters of the Athletics did not lose

odds of to 8, and found more ready
response from those who flock along

had no way to get out other than to bet
on individual games. They argued that
Boston could not win four straight

Probably the largest freak bet that

by Arnold Rothstein, that Boston would
not win four straight.
