Many years ago
a little before the Asian crisis,I was invested in the Thailand stock market. I would go in to the Securities office in Phuket town which had a whole long wall with all the stocks on it by sector.They would flashing green or red like crazy with each trade.usually 30-40 people were watching and cheering like at a horserace.Every day for both the lunchtime recess and the end of the day they would run a lottery off of the last 2 decimals of the index closing price and each person would pick a number and throw in the equivalent of $1.50 and closest to the total took the pot.It was a riot.Thais love to gamble and have a large underground lottery using the same digits as the government lottery much like the old numbers racket in the US.I miss those days.
