Kes steps out of his Casino office looking hastily at his watch knowing that he must get over the street to get that bet on for the big game tonight. On a normal day he would call in the bet from a bookies he knows down town, but today, well today is different....

As Kes crosses the main strip looking back on the 3 casinos already on offer here with the Corelli Family, he notices the crowd gather outside the building he is headed, as he makes his way to the front he stands beside a very proud looking man in Clourophobe....Kes begins to speak...

TonyCorelli Inc.

This is a great idea and a great chance to earn some easy cash!

Interesting Idea, i'm surprised nothing like this has been set up earlier. Easy money.

Can i ask will the odds be based on "internet" betting shops or will you make up your own odds?

Upon hearing the question shouted out from in the now rather large crowd Kes takes another look at his watch '10 min till Kick off...I need to get my bet on' he thinks to himself before answering the mans question..

You will have to see the man with the plan Clourophoe on that one, he handles all the odds and well, basically he handles it all, I'm just the financial backing....if we lose of course ;)

All odds are calculated by the Tony Corelli Gambling differance engine we have installed in a secret location under the streets of Las Vegas.  What is this internet thing you speak of?

If you were to telegraph various betting shops across the world you would find ours most competative.

During the introductionary period there is no tax on the winnings current bets placed this week stand at over $2million.  Will keep you posted with the payouts!

PLACE YOUR BETS NOW FOR THE MID WEEK CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ! At the ~Las Vegas betting emporium~

**If you can't make it to vegas Mmail me personally and I can gives you the odds for your chosen event**

**If your event is not listed I will enter the various punch cards required into our engine and produce odds that would make your old ma smile**

I see, interesting.

Its going to be difficult for people to get to Vegas just to make a bet. Can i suggest moving your business to the OOC District or the Outside area...

Also what is this Champions League you speak of?

The betting shop is in its infancy I'm sure as time goes by various backroom franchaises will be popping up to reflect the odds at the betting shop....

One of the phone girls approaches Clourophobe holding the new stlye bakerlite phone. The clown nods as he speaks into the handset.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

I have the pleasure of announcing the fitst betting shop backroom franchaise.  Obviously the main odds to be advertised will still be based in the Las Vegas Emporium.  For the customers ease please visit here when you get the chance:

~Betting Emporium Back Room~

Datsik, there is no need to frequent the actual betting shop.  You name an event to me in MMail tell me what result you think will happen and I'll gladly lay the bet.

The betting shop in Las Vegas just provides a place where advertised odds can be persued at your leisure.

The champions leauge you speak of is a soccer competition which is highly popular in europe, just one of the many events the Corelli Crime family will happily pay out on.

For avoidance of doubt MMail me and I can provide you the address of a backroom franchaise in your area.  This franchaise will display all the latest advertised odds only.

An overly small car screeches to a halt on the main street.  You are suprised that it is big enough to fit an engine in and you look around suspiciously to as who could have pushed it into your path when the doors on both sides open slowly.

Out of the car get two midgets holding what appears to be an old battered soap box and a box of what appears to contain flyers of some kind.

You stop in your tracks amazed at the sight when to you astonishment a clown now folds himself out of the car.  The clown dusts him self down and stands on the soap box the midgets have placed on the ground.

"Ladies and Gentlemen.  As you are aware a betting shop has opened in the city that never sleeps.  I have arrived here to thank you all for your support on its opening weekend.  This first weekend TonyCorelli Inc. has paid out over £2million in winnings and we invite you to join in this easy money making frenzy.

For your delectation the forth coming champions leauge events to be played in Europe this week have been pinned up inside our shop.

For those not intrested in soccer I can supply odds for this coming Winter championship cross country ski events.

You name the event I'll name the odds! If you cannot make it to our fine city of Vegas a simple MMail will suffice, Thankyou!"

The clown hops down from the soap box and folds himself back into the car.  The car screeches away leaving the midgets running behind it waving frantically back down the street. 

You hear a phut phut phut sound of a one prop plane sputtering over the street.  Looking up you see midgets throwing hanfuls of flyers out of the back.

Waiting for one to float to the ground you pick it up, it reads:

The plane heads out of sight you put the flyer into your pocket and make a promise to yourself you will visit soon.

Those damn midgets can't be trusted with anything!
