{{Clipping |Type of Date=Day |Date=9/19/1868 |Title=betting with advance knowledge |Text=<p>[from answers to correspondents] In the match between Athletics and Atlantics at Philadelphia, A–after receiving score by telegraph–bets B that the Athletics would win the game. B accepts the bet and puts up money, then accuses A of knowing what the score was before betting. A denies knowing the score, at first, but afterwards acknowledges that he knew the score. Can he claim the stakes? B claimed it was a draw, on account of his denying that he knew the score and afterwards acknowledging he did. ... If A did not use any deceit before the bet was made then he wins.</p> |Source=New York Clipper |Submitted by=Richard Hershberger |Origin=Initial Hershberger Clippings }}
