By Joe Williams
NEW YORK, April 12.—We don’t suppose there's actually any Pleasant way to lose your dough. Playing the horses may come closest to it. America is the bettingest country in the world. Maybe because it’s the richest. Last year the nation bet $408,528711 on the horses. This was the formal recorded sum and represents the mutuel play in the seventeen states where the business is legalized. How much was bet away from the tracks, in hand books and at the tracks where bookmakers still operate anonymously—oh, ves they do!— can only be a guess. These guesses range from box car figures to astronomical figures. Mostly they are exaggerated. Right now legislators are proposing legalized pool rooms for New York. They don’t call it that. Apparently the phrase is too vulgar but that's what it amounts to. They call it off-the-course betting. Very, very English, don’t you know. Did you ever hear a horse player refer to the track as the course. Neither did Eighth Pole Eddie or Info Izzy. =
CERTAINLY THERE is illegal betting in New York and Chicago and Los Angeles and Miami—and there always will be, whether off-the-course wagering (cripes) is legalized or not. But let's discuss the “millions” that are bet illegally in New York City every month To begin with this has to be a wild guess and if anvbody would know less about it than the legislators we wouldn't know where to look for the remarkable party. How can a lot of people bet a lot of money illegally if they don't know where to go? It's our guess that not more than 2 per cent of the people who like to bet on horses know where to go to make bets away from the track in New York. Another popular exaggeration is the amount bet in the winter books on the Derby. There are three in operation this year. It's our guess on this that the three combined won't handle $75,600. Perhaps $50,000 would be closer to it. And yet when a favorite is scratched, like the time Equipoise suffered a quarter crack the night before the race, you read that “suckers drop millions.” As you know the winter books operate on a play or pay basis, which means if your horse doesn’t go to the post vou lose.
n =
= n n
THE ONLY REASON the winter books don't get play—reaching high into those mythical millions” talk about—is that the field is restricted by law. It's strictly bootleg betting. You can let your imagination run away and guess how much would be bet in them if they were legalized. They'd made the old Irish Sweepstakes look like a bingo game at a church. One of these days this may come, too, possibly in the form of a national Jovery: It is the history of gambling that once a nation goes in for and at the moment there are 17 of our states in the gambling 1siness sharing race track profits—the fever rises before it drops. Personally we hope this never happens and we are no prude. Generally dislocated economic conditions that lead to national lotteries and wide spread legalized gambling. When countries let the bars down ali the way in the matter of gambling they seem to be grabbing at straws. That was the impression we got in France several years ago. Maybe we're getting in over our head in a discussion sort. Anyway we hope this country never reaches the point where it will deem national lottery necessary to the vitality of iis economic set up. Come in John T. Fiynn.
