The dictionary says "someplace", but that doesn't seem to make sense given the English translation given in the transcript. Can anyone explain what どこぞ means in this context?

I'll be sure to send Natsuko and e-mail beforehand if I ever go to any Tokyo betting shops as well :wink: Maxさん、

Also, we packaged up all three parts as a bonus track to review only the Japanese conversation.  Hope this is good practice for you! Mina-san, すばらしい！！！！！
