Pros And Cons Of Horse Racing
Out of all three of us girls, Doris is the best horseback rider. We all ride, but Doris is the most daring and sometimes looks more like an Indian than a civilized human. So we decided to enter her into a horse race at the track at Kailua. Since the population in Oahu is skyrocketing, the track might not be there much longer. My friend Georgy is coming from Maui with a speedy racehorse. I have heard that this horse does not stop running, while still picking up speed, when he crosses the finish line and hears the ending bell. Georgy is also a heavy gambler. He claims he bet $200 that Doris will win the race against his friend that sit under the bleachers, gambling at the races. My opinion is that he is slightly dishonest

    For you to be a consistent winner as a sports gambler, you must have a winning percentage above 52.38%. That doesn’t sound very difficult on the surface, but in reality it takes a tremendous amount of skill to consistently beat the point spread. In contrast, many sports gamblers are often simply gambling for entertainment purposes and bet on their favorite teams for added excitement. That’s why bookmakers in major cities skew the point spread on the area’s teams to their advantage. For example, if the Philadelphia Eagles are favored by 7 points in Las Vegas, many Philadelphia bookies will likely have them favored by 8 or 9 points because they know that more of their clients will bet on the hometown team.…

When Nick and Gatsby travel to the city one afternoon, they meet a shady man who claims to be good friends with Gatsby. At first, Nick mistakes him for a businessman but, Gatsby explains “Meyer Wolfsheim? No, he’s a gambler… He’s the man who fixed the World Series back in 1919” (Fitzgerald 78).
