« The following Treatise is intended as a Guide to young Adventurers, to lay their
bets to the best advantage, and as a Manual to the more accomplished Sportsmen. I
will not contend for the importance of it to the community; but its general utility
must be obvious to every Gentleman of the Turf. I have endeavoured to state the various
questions in the simplest and most accurate manner; and every solution is proved by
Hedging. How far I have succeeded, I leave to superior judgments to decide.
The first part consists of the various Changes of Two, Three, and Four Events; the
Second, Instructions how to bet against a Field; the Third, how to bet between Two
in a Field, neither win no bet; the Fourth and last part consists of Tables of Two
and Three Events, from six to one for you, to six to one against you; in which may
be seen, at one view, the accurate odds in every change. » Présentation de l’éditeur
