Annoying Accusations

Master of Games · Post by **Master of Games** » Sun Feb 06, 2011 12:30 pm

I've had some pretty annoying accusations made against me in my time as a player, obviously mostly in pubs and arcades. I'd like to know what others have been accused of and what some of your answers have been to some of the following since they're pretty popular ones...

1. You're barred! You know the sequence/program.
2. You've robbed me enough times on that machine so don't come back.
3. You're doing something to my machine, do it somewhere else.
4. My locals are complaining that the machine never pays out since you started coming in so whatever you're doing, do it somewhere else from now on.
5. I KNOW what you're doing so pack it in and go elsewhere (when you challenge them to tell you what it is you're told "I'm not stupid, you know what you're doing and so do I, OUT!!!")
6. I know you work for the company, you're not allowed in here.
7. The locals have been watching you, we know what you're doing now so don't come back.
8. Every time you come in here, you buy ONE drink, clean out my machines and f*** off, not this time sunshine! This time I'm not serving you, you're not TOUCHING my machine and you can F*** OFF EARLY, WITHOUT taking MY money!
9. I've been told you're fiddling my machine(s), can't have you in here (switches machine(s) off).
10. The machines are only here for regulars and people who buy REAL drinks, not non-alcoholic ones.

Most common thing that happens to me these days is having the fruits turned off as I'm seen approaching the pub! One time I was just walking past and noticed there was a sudden panic to turn off the Pacman and Red as I was going to get a haircut across the road!!!

Well excuse me but I haven't been here as long as him and have never seen the subject. If the Mods want to erase it, its up to them. I think its not pointless at all, certainly has more point to it than, "who is the most successful player" and "the end is near".

I think we have a new cloned account myself...

A few pubs quickly turn all their lights out, lock the doors, and then the staff and customers are all told to quickly duck until they see my car move from the pub car park! I often see the landlord peering at me from behind the net curtains with sweat pouring down his face, I give him a firm middle finger as I leave and shout "CATCH YA NEXT TIME.... BITCH".

Walked in a boozer earlier with a shitty DOND and a Lep, all the staff and landlady were sat in and around the area with the DOND, paid for my drink, turned around to see the DOND off

made a tidy few quid on the Lep and left with a cheeky grin

hope she leaves the DOND off forever.

My days are numbered!

Perhaps they munted the deal and turned it off thinking you might play it and take "there" money

The large arcade chain in Southampton barred me for "being too lucky". I suggested that they put signs on the doors welcoming "unlucky punters only". The fag ash on the end of the old crone attendant's cigarrete dropping to the floor was the only reaction I got to that.

I remember watching a film about this guy who had the worst luck in the world and this casino started paying him to stand next to guys who were on a roll and they would start losing as soon as he did!

Anyone know what this film is called by any chance?

I believe the film you are referring to is called 'The Cooler'. Not seen it myself though.

Haven't seen this one. Stars William H Macy and was Oscar nominated. Anyone watched House Of Games. A psychiatrist comes to the aid of a compulsive gambler and is led my a smooth-talking grifter into the shadowy but compelling world of stings, scams, and con men.
