The concentration on this mans face suggests his life almost depends on what he is writing. Perhaps there is an element of truth in this as he may be down to his last penny. One thing I’m sure of: that he was determined to have a final bet rather than consolidate his remaining cash. I didn’t hang around to find out about his good fortune or otherwise.
