He probably was a gambling addict. They develop weird routines like this to deal with it. I knew a guy that would just walk in and play one round of roulette with everything he had planned to spend there, then walk out win or lose.
- indigochill 6y agoTo his credit, if you're compelled to play roulette, that's the optimal way to play. Every spin is stacked against the player (that is, the payout * the odds of hitting a particular bet are all less than 100%), so minimizing the number of spins minimizes the stacking of the odds against winning.
- rriepe 6y agoYep, that was basically what was going on in his head. He was compelled to go there and gamble but had some control over how. The whole thing reminded me of a methadone clinic.
