The doc says that this sitting in front of the computer day and night is wrecking my back and that I should walk for an hour every day. I tried it. It’s boring and I’m breathing in exhaust fumes all the time. Try a gym, he suggested. There is one across the street from me, so I went in there to see what it was about. I was impressed. Treadmills, walking machines, rowing machines, bicycles, weights, in fact everything one needs to keep fit. I’ll try the treadmills, I told the instructor. Any chance that I can bring my laptop in with me and do some work while I’m walking? He scratched his head and said I don’t see why not. We have WiFi here and no one will mind. I didn’t ask him if anyone would mind if I did a little online gambling at the same time. I’ll work that one out for myself, I thought.

So I have a new daily routine. I get up, open my emails to check whether any work drifted in from the other side of the world during the night, get dressed in shorts and a tee shirt, grab my laptop and head over to the gym. Once I get the speed up to a respectable 3 miles an hour, I open the laptop and log into an online casino. Now the fun starts. I find roulette goes very well with walking on a treadmill. A sort of rhythm develops between the spinning roulette wheel and the turning belt on the treadmill. So far, I am managing to pay the costs of my gym membership from my online gambling inside the gym, a sort of parasitic situation, but who cares? I certainly don’t and the gym management is none the wiser.

As a result of this online gambling – gym connection, I am talking to the treadmill manufacturers. Establish an online casino and put a keyboard and screen in the front of the treadmill, I told them. You have a captive membership. You will make a fortune. Everyone who is on the treadmill will log into the online gambling activities, it’s a natural winner.
