I completely agree and been saying this myself.

Horse, dogs, sports bet must be peanuts to the bookes now.

I also can believe the BF story and the £1 mil in less than a year.

Maximum respect to you Mr Cheese your post is an inspiration.

I could'nt be bothered to go out one night a couple of Friday's ago and decided to go for a spin instead.

I had £1250 on me as had taken it out in the day to lend to someone and whilst on route i stopped into a Hills to see if i could make a cheeky £50-100 as i had a rather large float on me.

I lost the lot in about 20 mins.

That is obscene and i felt ashamed at what i had done in light of the fact there are probably millions of hard up folk accross the UK who really do with that amount of money.

Anyway, i managed to claw it back over the course of a couple of weeks and i should count myself very lucky.

Luke. Please engage the brain before typing. William Hill's figures below.
As they have approximately 25% of LBO's you can extrapolate that these machines take about £4,000,000,000 off of the public every year.


UK gaming machines gross win Year

2003 405.3
2004 555.5
2005 656.7
2006 723.8
2007 794.0
2008 964.4


So they would be fucked without FOBTs.
