Gary, I know what you mean now, concerning gambling and contests, there are
nothing change after takeover. The jockey club is still there only the name
changed; TVs and radios is allowed to provide some kind of contests; non
profit sectors sometimes issue lottery ticket to raise fund; private
gambling are allowed, such as paying mahjong.
To bet for the final bid, I choose $260. Gary, will you donate a Zuiko 90/2
as the price to the winner?
