He says he was using a telephone betting system which was invented & introduced near where I live & which I used for many yrs. The way it works makes his explanation of the mistaken $12 ticket implausible bordering on bizarre, unless the explanation was intended for confederates from the single ticket scores at Sar. It worked the 1st two times at Sar with one ticket, so why not buy 6 tickets with the intention of splitting one with the boys & keeping 5 for himself? There is said to be no honor among thieves & for some reason I doubt that the kind of characters he may have been dealing with will buy his explanation anymore than I do. If that is what happened, Derrick would be well advised to take some precautions to avoid the possibility of being involved in a tragic "accident."
