We have compiled the following table for the benefit of 

 those bettors, who make a practice of betting the odds 

 against any horse that may be the favourite immediately 

 before the race. In these we have taken seven principal 

 racing events for the last twenty years, and shewn how 

 often the field, and how often the favourite, has won ; and 

 then, having supposed that a person had during that 

 period bet to the extent of £200 at the current odds against 

 the favourite in each of these races, shewn what would 

 have been the result of such an operation.
