Winners and losers

November 7, 1995

The idea here is that anyone can win. The pauper can become a prince in the course of a good bet. The riches of the few are available, if only you can guess correctly. The reality is that only a very small minority of punters on the Cup will win big, and only because they had lots to begin with. While some will win just enough to keep them interested, most will come out losers either back where they started, or slightly worse off. Despite the hype, it's the same thing we see every day. The mainstream media is owned by the winners in this society. And it is written largely in their interests. Green Left is written for everyone else. Buying Green Left is like putting a $2 bet on a sure thing. Only unlike most sure things, Green Left comes through every time with news, information, commentary and opinion on the issues the others fear to touch. Green Left is an investment that will always make a return. So if you're ready to place that bet, put it on a sure thing and race home a winner. Green Left subscriptions start from as little as $10. Green Left Weekly it's your winning newspaper.
