Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963 (repealed)
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
27B Stake money
(1) For the purposes of section 27A the stake money on a leviable bet is the aggregate of the amounts which fall due in respect of the bet. (2) If the stake money falls due to a person other than the bookmaker with whom the bet is made, it is to be treated as falling due to the bookmaker. (3) Where the bet is not a spread bet and the sum which the person who makes the bet will lose if unsuccessful is known when the bet is made, that sum is to be treated as falling due when the bet is made (irrespective of when it is actually paid or required to be paid). (4) Where the person who makes the bet does so in pursuance of an offer which waives all or part of the amount which the person would have been required to pay to make the bet, the person is to be treated as being due to pay that amount— (a) to the bookmaker with whom the bet is made, and (b) at the time when the bet is made. (5) But subsection (4) does not apply to the extent that— (a) the amount in question was won on a leviable bet made in pursuance of a previous offer which waived all or part of the amount which the person would have been required to pay to make the bet, and (b) the person was not entitled to use the amount otherwise than for the purpose of making a further leviable bet. (6) In this section “spread bet” means a bet that constitutes a contract the making or accepting of which is a regulated activity within the meaning of section 22 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
