There are many characters in the Pub/OTB that I visit usually on a Friday. Most are in their 70/80's and are retired city workers.
There is one that bets cat horses, if the third letter in the name is an "R" and of course the "ninth in the ninth". Another player when his horse runs out which is eight out of nine times says "Go take a shit for yourself." Most need reading glasses and refuse to wear them. They bring a magnifying glass with them to see the paper or program. Then there is "first time latex" one of my favorites.
