LEGAL OFF-COURSE BETTING
Sir,—It may be information to the “antis” to learn that the totalisator never has a “skinner”; for, if a winner of a race is unbacked, the investments are returned to the public, less a small commission. This also applies to the doubles totalisator. Also, I remember many years ago the Sydney “Bulletin” stating, “An incontestable argument in favour of the tote is, that when the favourite wins the machine does not climb the fence and run away.”—Yours, etc., FOR THE PROPOSAL. February 25, 1949.
