On a cruise, Mr Botibol decides to participate in the pool betting on how far the ship will travel, spending the last of his savings. He chooses the lowest field due to the poor weather, but unexpectedly good conditions allow the ship to speed up. He wonders - could he make the ship slow down somehow?
----
!!Examples:
* BatmanGambit: Botibol's plan to slow down the ship. He falls off the ship into the sea, making sure someone will notice him, so the ship will have to stop to rescue him.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Unfortunately the passenger Mr Botibol chooses as his witness has dementia and fails to respond when he falls off the ship, presumably leaving him to drown.
* TheGamblingAddict: Mr Botibol, who spends his last thousand dollars gambling.
