Interesting observation KIS, Yes that was the idea I was trying to communicate. My learning on the subject was many years ago, working in the horse racing biz. Working for the bookies as an underling. Promoted from "board boy" chaulking up the odds to "shop manager" where I managed the accounts and settled the bets. Always interesting was the "fixed race". Betting gangs would come in and start placing big bets, one individual after the other. I would have to phone these bets in to see if they were approved or not. Sometimes they were not, more often they were. When they were approved of course they often lost making a big win for my shop for the week. No such thing as a "guaranteed winner". I learned then it was more easy to make money off scams then a straight race where you just collected a working mans wage -g-
