If you've been around for the last 10 years like you say you have, (who knows if this is true, you talk a lot of shit) then you'll know that the tracksuit brigade started ruining the game long before £35 jackpots were introduced. The Vivid days were when I started to notice an increase in the number of players. In the Jpm days I used to go days without finding anything dead. Keyable extremes is what really fucked it up imo. It didn't matter what walk of life you were from, you could've been on the streets, but if you had a refill key and a fiver then you were in business. Some of the people I used to run into doing extremes were so utterly raw in terms of efficiency that it made me shudder. You'd have 3 kids huddled round and one of them would be keying it in a manner that lacked any subtlety whatsoever. They weren't being brazen, they were just so new to what they were doing that they were making a spectacle of themselves.redlinesman wrote:It's a different game these days from going back 5/10 years ago. The two major factors for me were when the bookies got rid of them and the smokiing ban. In the days with no betting shop finder on an iphone and before sat navs, many places simply didn't get covered. Bumping into another player was fairly rare, certainly no need for security back in the day. Tricks and methods seemed to last forever and got to admit did enjoy it more, even if I do make a lot more now. Also pubs were not aware what you were in the pub for even if you did win money every visit, the loudmouth tracksuit brigade of the new generation altered that around whem the £35 jackpots came out.
Remember going out the first day of the smoking ban, think it was a Saturday and everywhere was like a ghost town. Many local drinkers pubs that were packed fri, sat, sun and were always good hits simply died with the lack of trade following the ban, and we're still seeing the casualties to this day.
You aren't alone mate, I quite often used to find myself struggling for a float, normally because i'd visited a casino or bookie. Nothing worse than being sharked as a player, nothing. We are all used to sitting around waiting for someone to lose their last pound, I sometimes even sit there thinking 'hurry up you fucking mug' as I wait to pounce like a predator. But being THAT person, the person playing their final credits in desperation as they ring round trying to get hold of money using various excuses is a horrible feeling. But not so horrible that I didn't used to put myself through it on a fairly regular basis.thecannonball89 wrote:Iv had some hard times playing without a float and had to play alien and electros with a borrowd 100 just to get a float to play bigger games.
ive been 120-130 into a elctro 10 pound ready.played some dirty ones over the years.... Say you lost all your money tomoz Lee, could you borrow a float to get back on ur feet? thats wot u have to think about....all professional gamblers go broke. last time i went broke was 2002..i borrowed a 20 spot off a mate...and within a week i was back up and running and have never looked back. ive been silly with money...but i always saved money too. spent and saved. ive never had shitty cars....im too big to drive a small car. the golf ive got now is my smallest car ive hadtrayhop123 wrote:i feel for ya jack m8 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but you were hedging your bets ,,,,,,,,,,,, we've all had electros cost more than a ton ,
