Slump in Taft Bet Odds in Wall Street
In New York on September 29 odds for Taft slid from 6 to 1 to 5 to 2 and 3 to 1 as curb betting faced official bans. Wagers moved under cover, with reports from northwestern states seen as unpromising. More money favored the state race than the national, and brokerage offices near the Waldorf Astoria reportedly handled over 100000 dollars at 6 to 5 in Chanler’s favor.
