Lines: 10 The correct odds are about 283 to 1. If you offer more than that, you will lose money in the long run. Of course the situation seldom arises, but if it happens again, you can probably get plenty of takers at 100 to 1. Naturally, you should offer slightly under (how much is up to you) 2 to 1 on each of the other suits. -- Col. G. L. Sicherman ...seismo!rochester!rocksanne!rocksvax!sunybcs!gloria!colonel
