F ULL dividends will be paid — not the un0 fair arbitrary limits which the illegal bookmaker today '9 imposes on a public who have to accept because there 9 is no alternative legal system. F ULL Doubles Divi- 9 dends will also be paid as on the Doubles Totalisator 9 on the course. 9 J 'PLACE' BETTING J a A person will be able to back his fancy in any manner a ^ he nominates, "place", "win", "win and place", or " a "double". Many illegal bookmakers today refuse a ^ "place" betting alone. " 9 Furthermore, if a bet is accepted by the local totalis- 49 ator office, but, as a result of a breakdown in telephone 9 communication it does not reach the totalisator on the £ course, it will never- the-less be presumed "placed" 9 and paid out on accordingly. £ * LEGAL v. ILLEGAL £ 9 On Polling Day (March gth) the issue is clear. Either ^ you support a legal system of properly regulated and A decently controlled off-course betting, or, by :*ot doing 9 so you uphold the present illegal systepa. 9 It is earnestly hoped that every right-thinking gitizen @ will face the issue squarely. To oppose the proposal 9 is to condone and perpetuate the illegal bookmaker ® * who for 40 years hAs waxed fat on an.annual betting 9 turnover exceeding the total sum invested 011 all the 9 racecourse totalisators in the Dominion. 9 # A STRIKE OUT THE BOTTOM LINE a 1 1 w l ph^O^THEPRtiPO^ ® 9 ^etfr^BMNST^Ht-PftePeSMr j ^ 9 1 — ' 5 ® Inserted by Autkority N.Z.
