People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 July 1894 — ANTI-GAMBLING RULES. [ARTICLE]

ANTI-GAMBLING RULES.

That no woman or child shall be called Bet. That a decision shall not under any circumstances be left to a toss-up. That it shall be forbidden to make head or tail of any difficult matter. That the American locution, “you bet,” may be construed as a slanderous imputation. That an alternative phrase be found for “What’s the odds?” as who should say, “What does it signify?” or, “What material difference does it make so long as you’re happy?”
