I don’t know what’s going on with this Teachers’ tournament with the betting ideas. This is even more weirder than the last Teachers’ tournament. Low wins like that is so mediocre especially if they’re going to try to get a spot for the next Tournament of Champions. $100, $600, $1,300?! What in the world are they doing?

Wait…I thought only the winner of the tournament went to TOC?
These details may possess little interest to the general reader. They however serve to show (though it may be revealing some of the “tricks of the trade”) how such matters are frequently managed in theatres and other places of amusement. The people are repeatedly wrought to excitement and take sides most enthusiastically in trials of skill, when, if the truth were known, the whole affair is a piece of management between the prominent parties. The entertainment of the time may be an offset to the “humbug” of the transaction, and it may be doubted whether managers of theatres will be losers by these revelations of mine, for the public appears disposed to be amused even when they are conscious of being deceived.
