Question I have a very typical question about horse racing. I have an event I would like you to help me explain that. Its a scene from a movie. The first scene is where two bookies bet on their individual horses, while bookie two bribes the jockey of bookie one and asks him to slow down the horse just before it reaches the finishing point. This match is lost by bookie one. In the subsequent derby...he knows that bookie one will ensure that his jockey does not collaborate with bookie 2, so here he bets on bookie one's horse. Howevr this time round bookie one knows that bookie two is betting on his horse and makes his own horse loose so that bookie two incurrs heavy losses,
Many Thanks
Answer Unfortunately I don't understand the question. In fact I don't see a question at all, and I'm not sure what to respond to. I can tell you that this sort of thing is very rare these days, and most gambling is completely legit if that helps. I can also see how this spy vs. spy sort of game would make the one guy profitable while the other guy loses money, but I'm not sure if that helps you either.
If you want to clarify what it is that is confusing you I am sure I can help.
