gambling
Years ago I started as a cashier in a bookies. long hours, shit pay. So the staff used to have a few fun bets to keep from dying of boredom. Not strictly legal, but it was only for pennies.

I used to do 1p tricast doubles and trebles perms on all the races at each greyhound meeting. being a maths student, always 3-1-4. Meant if 3-1-4 finished as the first 3 in any order twice at a meeting, it would pay for my bet, 3 times I'd make about £60. Trouble was, one Friday night, 5 out of the 9 races won for me. The bet paid nigh on £1300. Massive amounts for the bookies I worked at.

The manager asked me who'd had the bet, I just said "some bloke, never seen him before". I had to send a mate to collect it for me the next day.

2 weeks later, I went to work for another firm and never placed a bet at my own shop again.
