MR BETTS THE BOOKMAKER
Mr Betts the bookmaker is your host for the game.
As well as introducing each round and instructing players what to do, he
also runs the "Homicidal Handicap". At various stages of the game he
will allow the players to have a bet on who they think the killer is.
The odds for each suspect will change as more information comes to light.
At the end of the game the total returns for each player will be calculated
and the player who has made the most money will be judged the winner.
