Player Profile 19th September
Todays Player is Adrian, I was invited to see him playing by a shop manager, who kindly introduced us
and Adrian agreed to let me watch. The reason the manager wanted me to watch him, is his mode of operandi is strange.
There are two bookmakers shops directly opposite each other in this town and Adrian loves to
swap shops, after each spin of the wheel! I thought he was a sandwich short of a picnic and still do but he
enjoys doing what he does and this is how he does it.
He begins with putting �20 in one machine playing �1 chips he scatters them around the wheel and hits the start button
then leaves the shop before the result of the spin is displayed, he now darts across the road and does the same in the other shop,
he runs back and forward like a dog on heat, playing this bizarre game, I decided to remain in one shop as running backwards and forwards between two betting shops
is not a favourite pastime of mine nor do I want it to become.
I would be concerned about someone grabbing any winnings whilst he is in the other shop, but I have noticed a code of honour between players and leaving a machine
with credit on is common, players maybe putting a bet on the horses or dogs or whatever, and any winnings he got seemed fairly safe.
There was no method in his selecting numbers he just tapped the screen laying out his chips hit start and ran, so I concluded he was
eccentric at the least. Upon his return after spin number 10 he informs me he had won �42 in this shop and lost �60 in the shop over the road. An exciting way to spend �18 NOT!
I thought I had seen everything but alas with people like Adrian around I don't think I ever will, roll on next week.........
