Think about it,You own a pub profit comes from beer,fruit mc,pool table etc a couple of toolers go in hence no profit,you being landlord see a couple of lads next week taking out 70 or 105 or 140 etc both had half or oj or j2o same as toolers mmm alarm bells start to ring well you as the landlord know fuck all about machines but know you was robbed last week how do you react,How would you react if someone was in your house burgling it.....We have all been tarnished with the same brush.Try going in a pub with a shit bandit a few times obviously you will have a drink and not bother with the fruit then when something different comes in it doesnt matter as you have been in a few times and gained a bit of trust....
Bang Tidy,Potatoes,Shittiiiiing,Smash Ya Back Doors In....
Yes it's ridiculous isn't it?
I'd imagine Embers Inns etc probably have your mugshot by now Kesh. If you walk in on your own and play, it's a crime. You can have ten pints, wear your Sunday best, play pool, eat a three course meal, watch the footie, lose £279 on the Double Deal or no Deal, whatever, if your number's up, your number's up.
To be honest it has got to the stage now, where I think that all AWPs should be removed from pubs and service stations (what the fuck kind of shit % payout is 70 anyhow? On some Bellfruits you need 98% to stand a chance of getting a fun game, not a this ATM will charge you for £1.95 again for that second withdrawal you need to force that Deal or no Deal), so yeah remove them from everywhere apart from AGCs or shall we say gambling specific premises. So LBOs (not that they'd want 'em) or casinos (not that they'd want 'em) for example.
Certainly pubs anyhow. Landlords will be supplied with a money box that reads "If you're feeling drunk and lucky, deposit some money in this box and keep your fingers crossed". At 0% payout they'll be fully justified in moaning if any money comes out. For extra irony the words HOLIDAY FUND will be stamped in authoritative letters on the front.

Yeh I dont really understand this ridiculous heat that has suddenly started happening everywhere, even in nice pubs! As soon as a jp is won and you aren't a regular, then you are automatically scamming it and soon to be barred... I suppose it's to do with the pub trade making poor money and the higher 70 jp is much more noticable if won... especially if its such a machine that only players will get the pot on... ie. erm alien/digger.
Me and Tony went down to the south coast for a trip out of the ordinary today, was mostly done, got a pot out of a CNR gold and a few quid made out of bits, then folkestone this pub on the seafront bit, near that big hotel had a can you dig it... played it, suprised to see it holding tbh, 22 for 70, and it pays out exactly the 22 and goes IOU £48, anyhow girl calls for "the boss" I was thinking oh great here we go.. and yes its a meathead... ARE YOU PROFESSIONALS... blah blah... oh no we say, put £20 note in each, now the notey was on btw before anyone thinks there is a flaw in this story, I say we just took a few odd wins and called it a day. Well as I had bought a bottle of desperados as I figured the pub looked a dive, and I don't look like a chavvy player in the slightest, it washed and the IOU was given straight away... good job he didnt notice the wedge of coins I had in my pocket after having potted the club pots of gold in the nearby hotel for cheap, I took the JP rather than the CP, and we though it would be funny if they refilled it and some players took it on

The problem with this is that while they're worrying about people winning, toolers continue to get away with it because landlords/managers/staff haven't got a clue what they're meant to be looking out for.mr cheese wrote:Think about it,You own a pub profit comes from beer,fruit mc,pool table etc a couple of toolers go in hence no profit,you being landlord see a couple of lads next week taking out 70 or 105 or 140 etc both had half or oj or j2o same as toolers mmm alarm bells start to ring well you as the landlord know fuck all about machines but know you was robbed last week how do you react,How would you react if someone was in your house burgling it.....
If the distributors were serious about tackling fraudulent activity then they ought to think about educating these people a little more on the differences between machines paying out (whether the player is winning or losing) and machines being robbed.
Someone also needs to explain to the staff that when they start doing their oh so subtle spying routines, if the person/people they're spying on don't leave the premises after a few minutes then it's very unlikely that they're doing anything wrong unless they can clearly see what it is they're doing. I.E. If it looks like they're putting money through the coin slot and pressing the buttons then that's all they are doing, and if the machines are losing money being played in that manner due to a programming flaw then it's the supplier they should be giving the boot to, not the punter.
A bottle of Becks isn't a bad option. Barely half a pint, usually over priced so you're giving the landlord a decent mark up. and you can hide it on the Paragon drink holder, that is if it isn't still full of half drunk bottles from the previous day.Glendale wrote:Problem there when you do 50+ different pubs a week!jeffvickers wrote:Buy A FEW PINTS OF BEER, works wonders

The fire-pub would most likely be The George.
Always been on topin there, right back to the Hotshot they used to have. Sometimes you get threats of "The Boys" being called up! Though they never appear. They tried this with Neil from Margate once. He waited for a while for them to turn up, but again never did. Empty threats make me laugh.
The CnR Gold in the Birston?
Ryan must still be in Thailand then!
Taking them on the gamble is a favourite of mine - especially loved doing it on the ferries. Though you get no afterplay. Most pros will know something's up though after around £60 in and bail out.
