Far Reaching Effects. A decision in the Fourth City Court (Melbourne) on February 26 will have far-reaching effects on racecourse belting in Victoria. According to the decision. a backer must not "crush" his bets on a racecourse, as automatically he becomes a bookmaker, and is liable to be fined for operating without a licence or permit. For instance, if he takes £7 to 1 about a horse and then lays £4 to 1. so that he will have £3 I<> nothing, he is breaking the law. Such transactions have been made over since there were bookmakers and backers. As the position now stands betting in running must be confined to a one-way transaction between bookmaker and backer. An illustration of the point is that a backer may have £lOO to .210 about a horse. Thai horse loads around the turn, and a bookmaker offers io bet £2O to £lO on it. The backer accepts his offer, and so has the horse going for £9O it it wins, and £lO if it loses. That and similar eases are everyday occurrences on racecourses, but now. according to the latest decision, such business can bo done only between bookmaker and bookmaker. The backer cannot avail himself of the opportunity to "crush" his bet. The only interest he can have in running is to back a horse to win. Another question which arises over this decision is whether a backer is breaking the law if he lays odds on any horse in a race. Does he become ■i bookmaker when he lays the odds, as he is doing when he lays £2 to 1 cn a horse. The backer who is "crushing" his bet by laying 4 to I against is actually laying 4 to 1 on any of the other runners to defeat his horse, so his position would appear to be the same as the man who, for instance, lays 4 to 1 on Ajax.
