A large crowd was gathered in the square. Husky watched from the sidelines as his men handed out the pamphlets. 
"Settle down there's enough to go around" one of the men said as he saw the crowd anxiously pushing each other to get one of the pamphlets.

"What do you think is going on?" one of the people said. "One of the men from Detroit is organizing some fights at the dockyard." came the reply.

"Which man?"
"That one over there with the dusty hat."
"The one with the Bar in Detroit?"
"Yeah that's the one. I'm going to go put some money on the fight."
"But he's from a different crew? Why would you trust him with your money?"
"I don't. At least not yet. So I'm only going to make a small bet for the first fight . 20-30k. If he tries to fuck us over, we'll ask the boss to deal with him."
"Ah and maybe in the next fight, we can start making serious bets depending on how much we pull in from this one."
 

Husky smiled as he overheard all the conversations. Everything was proceeding according to plan. As his men finished nailing a few pamphlet on dome of the wooden poles , he took a glance at one of them

Walter was out and about on the town, when he heard about HuskyRathe describing The Betting At The Docks.. He loved the idea, and the

Report Post Tip

Lucy smiled at Husky's newest venture.  Fight nights.  It was rather brilliant.  You had to give it to the guy, he sure knew how to get people talking and engaged.  Silently she revisited her own 'next big plan' and wondered if it would prove successful.  Watching Husky's attempts to organize fight nights might make for a good way to learn a thing or two.  If for no other reason than that, it was worth betting.  Besides, an Irish was fighting.  She couldn't allow the Irishman to go without a cheering section.

Ravi avidly listened to the man explain his idea. It was brilliant, something he would surely participate in. It was good to see new ideas and interesting speeches come up on the streets.

Report Post Tip

A man walked in and pinned a notice on a nearby wall before walking away. The notice simply read

"Due to unforeseeable circumstances, Fight #1 has been cancelled. All bets are off. We regret this occurance, but for those of you still anxious to witness a fight, look forward to our re-opening in Vegas."

Report Post Tip

Walter had overheard Husky #2 talking about the new re-opening of the fights in Vegas, and was happy to hear it. :)
