'Generous' bookie bet punter 100/1 about a 10/1 winner ... why wasn't this on the front page?


Okay, hands up those who think bookmakers belong to the same genus as parasites.

Tony White, a freelance galloping journo, must think otherwise. That has to be the explanation for the item he produced for The Daily Examiner (Grafton) appearing on page 3 rather than the front page.

100/1 about a 10/1 winner! ($20,000 to $200 each-way)

Hey, Tony, what's the bookie's home address and phone number? I'd like to get set with that bloke a couple of times before he's pensioned off to the benevolent bookies retirement village.
