As you desire to win $6, play $5, which isthe smallest amount that will do it. Place the figure 5 on the left-hand side of the ‘‘ favorite”? column. The odds against the second horse being 5 to 1 to win and 8 to 5 for place, play it for the place. Your desire being to win $6, play $5 therefore on the second horse. Place the figure 5 on the left side of the‘‘ second horse” column. Neither horse won, so you carry the $10 invested to the left side of the ‘*total invested” column. In the second race the odds against the favorite to win are 7 to 10; you must now recover the $5 you have lost and the $6 - besides, and to do this it is necessary to put up $20. The odds against the second horse are 5 to 1 to win and even money for the place. On the second horse, in the first race, you have $5 lost money to recover, so you play to win the $5 lost and $6 besides. It is necessary to put up $15, as nothing less than $5, or sums divisible by 5, are used. The favorite wins, and the second horse gets the place. Place in the right side of the ‘‘ favorite” column the amount received, both investment and winnings, which is $34, and on the right side of the ‘* second horse” column the amount received from that investment, carrying both sums invested and received into the ‘ total” column. Having won on the favorite you commence again with a sum sufficient to win the unit of 86, after each loss playing sufficient to recover all monéy lost and $6 additional, but not trying to win $6 on each race. Keep the accounts of the favorite and second horse distinct and separate, posting the total amount in- vested and received in the total column at the end of each race. At the close of each day, should there remain money: to recover in either column, carry it over to the succeeding day as shown in the table on page 12. An hour’s careful study of the various tables will make the system of play clear to any person of aver- age intelligence, and by the aid of the table for rapid calculation he can test the system by the post odds as published in ‘* Sporting World” or ‘* Goodwin’s Turf Guide” and become convinced of its practicability. Be sure, however, that you thoroughly understand the system before playing it, and you will leave the race-traek or pool-room with a big fat ‘* wad” where before you only helped to fatten the book-maker. POOL-ROOM PLAY. For one man who speculates on the races at the track, there are ten men who confine themselves to pool-room play, and to most of them the finding of $400 is simply out of the question. The table on page 14 shows what can be done with a capital of $200, playing for a unit of $3 instead of $6. Put up money enough to win at least $3 on the quoted odds, covering losses when you lose, and adding up the totals as at the track. As the third betting comes in oftentimes too late to make a play on the race, it would be well where there are two pronounced favorites to buy your tickets at the odds laid at the second betting. It will be found that new favorites are very rarely established at the third betting, and in most cases you have the advantage of better odds than by waiting till the horses are at the post. 10 “GOOD THINGS” TO: FOLIOS Do not depart from the system to play any man’s ‘¢ good things.” In folowing ‘‘ Mabbett’s System,” remember that you are playing on the concentrated judgment of thousands of skilled men, as shown by the way they place their money. Abe Lincoln once said, ‘‘ You can fool all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” Do not play a horse at 2 to 1 ‘‘on” after two con- secutive defeats. It will require too much capital, and so pronounced a favorite does not win often enough to take the risk. Where both first and second choices go to the post equal favorites at odds of 3 to 1 or better, play both for place. | Where prohibitive odds are laid against the favor- ite, pass the race by, except that the second horse may still be played for place if the odds are right. Consider 3 to 5 as prohibitive odds after three consecutive defeats. In pool-room play it will oceasionally happen that 11 two horses go to the post at the same odds. Select the one which opens up at the shortest price. Tt has been said, and with truth, that no system dependent upon playing the favorites can win in the fall of the year. It will be seen, however, that where both choices are played, as shown in the table on page 15, that that objection is overruled, and that the buyer of this book may win a ‘* barrel of money” from the idea is the sincere wish of THE AUTHOR. The publishers will take pleasure in answering by mail any ques- tions in regard to the system which the book may not make clear to them. euevvus « v *Avp tod ogg Jo ssooxo ur Ajasavy a1 sSur “UIA oT} pur ‘paimbos oops Fo [eytdvo oy Jo Jyeq-ouo sv skup AnoF oy] SaLMp ouwy ou ye yw) uses oq [TIM 47 ‘gourd 1oy poAvtd qyoq fsoyttoAvy Tenby ft sort 1 “UO AA x Ist oe ewes erst esees QOORI IZ OJ SSULMUL AA, [v1O], 09¢ Tres = ogg $ 961 09 09 S 99 S jij!
