Twelve year old Jamie discovers a surefire method for picking a winning
horse at the races by developing an advanced computer program. Trouble
is he's too young to put a bet on. Lucky then his eccentric Gran is
willing to get involved. Soon the whole town develops gambling fever.
As his winning streak continues Jamie and sister Lucy are delighted but
they soon realize that things aren't that simple. They're assigned an
ultra strict nanny and their names are put down for a boarding school
miles from home. Maybe it would be best not to win.
