Not One in 10000 Profits,
Declares Turf Bookie

Most bettors are suckers. I've
watched many of them, not sup
posed to be dumb, ask 10 strokes
from P. Hal Sims at golf-and then
play him even at bridge. And Sims
as bridge player is>l0 up on Sims
as golfer.
Sims is the best competitive
bridge player l ever saW-and there
are more than 10000 golfers who
can beat his normal 80. You get the
idea?
This brings us back to Col. Brad
leys query, How can you beat IL
per cent?"
Twelve per cent at the mutuel
track means the track takeout, the
State ana Government tax, the
breakage.
AS one of the big bookmakers
told me recently, Not one player
out of 10000 ever makes any money
out of racing"
So the odds against you are not
IL per cent-they are 10000 to l
That is, if you keep sticking around
Yet there are more millions thar
you might ever guess who, are try
ing to beat the races.
About 991a per cent of these are
the phantom chasers. They are out
to whip the IL per cent. This is a
touger job than beating the YAM
KEGS, the Reds or Joe Louis. 1t can
do little damage-unless they go
overheard. This is just one point
the millions should keep in mind, if
they care anything about the money
they may happen to have This ap-
plies especially to the great ma
jority who can't afford the losing
side.
AS the colonel says, ANY one
who thinks he can beat II per cent
against him ought to save his money
and have his head examined"
