my mate did that
on a roulette machine in our pub. It might be worth pointing out before I go further that he is an almost perfect doppelganger of Napoleon Dynamite in both looks and brains.

After watching his genuine excitement at constantly getting his pound back after putting 50p on re and 50p on black about 10 times, I pointed out his error. It took several explanations and a demonstration, but at last I saw a twinkle in his eye as he realised what I meant. He turned back to the machine and inserted another pound. I waited..... would he choose red? Black? Would he hedge his bets or lump it all on one number? He reached out a hand and tapped at the buttons......

25p red...........

25p black............

25p odd............

25p even.

Dear God.
