Crazy Races: Wheels, Wings & Water
Description
Stuart Hall Presents Crazy Races: Wheels, Wings & Water is a gambling game which uses videos of real races.
Before the game starts players agree among themselves who is going to be the bookie, i.e. the honest and trustworthy player who will calculate the winnings and losses of all the other players. All bets are either Win or Each Way and must be in multiples of £100 to keep the maths simple for the poor bookie
Once this has been decided the game begins. Each race is preceded by a form guide and Stuart's helpful tips. Players then write the details of their bet on the betting sheet provided - race number, contender (who they are betting on) and stake (how much they are betting). Tey then hand their betting slips to the bookie and that's it.
Everyone then watches the race after which the bookie checks the slips and pays the winner(s)
