Woman Could Break Gaming Ring And Make Money
There Is a way to break up the nation-Wide gambling ring. The American housewife can do It. She can succeed where the cops and politicians seem to have failed. And she can make a mint of pin money for herself in doing it too. How? Well my theory is simple. It Is based on taking the gambling out of gambling. You can't heat the horses, girls, but there is a possible way to beat the bookies. And If you can beat the bookies you can break up organized illegal gambling. She Shows The Way A suburban housewife here has shown the way to do It. Under the law you can sue to recover money paid to settle gambling debts. And that's just what Mrs. Hannah S. Kartlgtner did. She said Jules H. Bender for $11,193 the claimed her husband lost to him in horse race bets three years ago. And a gentlemanly jury of 11 men and one woman returned a verdict in her favor. Although Bender Insisted he himself was no bookmaker but a businessman, the decision disclosed a fascinating way In which determined ladies might put the knuckle on men who, beyon cavil, are professional bookies. Here, for example, is one possibility: Start With Ice Cream A group of 100 housewives, raged because their husband keep bringing home paycheck full of gambling holes, hold rummage sale and an Ice cream social. They raise $1,000. Three Of the girU take the $1000 to the biggest bookie in town and lay it on the nose for Plug Ugly, a 100-to-l shot, to win In the fifth.
If lightning should strike Plug Ugly and he comes in ahead each of the 100 gals collects $1,00 (nough for a fur coat. And the bookie has a broken heart. The next day the girls put $5,000 on Sadfoot to breeze through in the fourth. If he loses, the girl promptly file tult against thi bookie. And if all 100 of the wo men show up in court with theiri 275 children, In rags, won't the jury make the bookie hnnd back the $5,000. So the next day the girls be working through a couple of male stooges this time, bet the $5,000 on still another 100-to-l shot. If he leads the field to the wire, they collect a half milion bucks—or the bookie commits suicide. If their horse loses, they haul the bookie right back into court. Hal Double Appeal This "break the bookies" program could sweep the ladles' clubs of the nation like wildfire, It has two things women love: a chance to make some money. It beats radio giveaway shows all hollow, because no sponsor can dish out prizes equal to the millions hidden by wealthy bookies In their safe deposit boxes. If American wives cooperated in this you couldn't lose from winning venture, most bookies in six months would he back pitching pennies against each other for a living. The only flaw I can see in the whole scheme is that women, after all, are human beings, too—In their way. Wlicn they start playing the horses they act just like men. They brag about their winnings and hide their losses. And before long they'd be secretly betting against each other, ahd It Would be the bookies' wives who'd be buying the fur coats. Gambling Is like any other disease. If you don't expose yourself to the germ, you don't get Infected. But it is a wonderful plan, isn't it?
