Default Any idea what this is?

Hi-
I recently acquired some baseball ephemera and I have no clue what the scanned item below could possibly be. My only faint guess is betting slips? The back of the piece is blank and it is scanned in the baggie it came with because one of the tickets has already fallen off. Please let me know if you need additional scans. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
Thanks,
Alan Elefson

Alan,

It's a gambling game. My bet (ha!) is that if you tore open one of the slips, there would be a number or maybe a team name. The prizes would be awarded based on maybe how many runs were scored on a certain date, and the corresponding ticket would win the prize (or pool of money). There are countless variations to how the game could be run, but the bottom line is it's a gambling device (or "tip board").

They're pretty collectible, and I have a few that are similar. Unfortunately, yours is pretty plain with no interesting graphics, which hurts the value. I'd place the value in the $10-$20 range.

Hope this helps.

Edited to add that most of the examples of these types of gambling games I see have a cost to play of 10 or 25 cents. These usually date to the 1930s, '40s or '50s. The fact yours has a price of $1 makes me wonder if it's from the 1960s or maybe even early '70s.

Here are two that I have. The bottom one actually folds out to twice the size that's pictured, which is why the betting slips aren't visible. Top one measures about 6.5 by 8.5 inches; bottom one is about 6 x 9.5 inches.
