| 0:00.0 | What's an unethical way that people save money? |
| 0:03.7 | I work downtown, in a city where monthly parking is easily $150 or more per spot. |
| 0:09.7 | My wife and I both have to drive due to schedules, so it would be double that. |
| 0:13.8 | Found out that the casino downtown gives you free parking daily if you bet $10. |
| 0:18.7 | So we go and play roulette daily. |
| 0:23.4 | She bets $10 on red and I bet $10 on black, |
| 0:28.0 | and each ask for our parking validation. One of us always wins, which doubles one of the $10 bets. So we get our $20 back. Boom, free parking. There's been the odd time it's hit zero. |
| 0:34.2 | In that case, we each just lose $5 each and parking costs us $10 total for the day. |
| 0:39.9 | I accidentally discovered that the laundry machines in my building take 20 euro cent coins |

| 1:04.3 | So somebody else out there is doing it too. |
| 1:06.3 | They'll never catch me. |
| 1:07.6 | I went to Thailand and the 10-bought coin looks nearly identical to the two euro coin, |
| 1:12.3 | so I took a few. If I'm on a festival or in a club, I sometimes pay with them because everything |
| 1:16.7 | is overpriced and dark anyway. I just don't use it in normal shops. They're around 25 euros |
| 1:22.2 | each, so it's a great return on investment. I don't get how you guys are able to use similar |
| 1:27.2 | sized coins and vending machines. I have enough get how you guys are able to use similar sized coins and |
| 1:28.1 | vending machines. I have enough trouble getting the machine to accept the actually correct coin |
| 1:32.4 | whenever I try, let alone one that's a bit different. I never got removed from an employee discount |
