1. There are just two horses and two bettors. 只有两匹马和两名押注者。
2. Other compulsive bettors may be even less rational. 其他赌徒可能更加不理性。
3. This sounds a little like a racetrack allowing a gambler to select horses and jockeys to run in a race, without informing the other bettors. (这听起来有点像跑马场让个赌徒选赛马和骑手，压根没向赌马的人知会一声)。
4. The robbers may have counted on the silence that has long kept these places in the shadows: The gambling is illegal, so owners and bettors are unlikely to report crimes. 那些抢劫者们可能是想利用麻将馆想保持缄默的心态。 正是这种缄默，使得这些地方一直不为人所知：赌博是违法的，所以赌场老板和赌客们不大可能报案。
5. While the bloody snows of the arena floor are repugnant to some the never-ending flow of bettors and spectators guarantees that the coffers of the town are always full. 虽然竞技场上染血的雪地令一些人反感，川流不息的赌徒和观众们却确保了城镇的金库始终充裕。
