"I represent a group of future book gamblers " "You take beta on the Derby nominees in advance of the race, giving longer odds than on race day, and it a horse doesn't start you don't five the money back.' 'That's where you make your big a slight smile. "Absolutely cor rect, Miss Bond. But we made a mistake this year, Miss Bond. We misjudged your colt We lstd odds of SO to 1 agslnst him.
