Stunning, thats a lot to earn, about 5 times as much as me.. you obviously enjoy gambling, but you should be able to do loads on that type of money...

Holidays etc?

I think thats the reason why I gamble, I dont earn enough money to even think of Mortgages etc, so im really stupid with it.

I work as a management accountant. Ought to know better than to gamble. I think it's not just about the money wasted but the hours spent on machines, in the bookies or playing poker online.

What I saw with the same numbers at low stakes and different numbers at high stakes was proof enough that these are 'controlled' games running under a convincing farce of RNG production, probably paying to way under true roulette percentage no doubt.

Correct Anfield, you can't bet £20 on a single number, my mistake. As the money was running out very fast, as at high stakes nothing wins, ever, ever, ever it was probably £12 on number fourteen, although the whole thing is a sorry blur which I hope to forget about some day. It kept the irritating foreign guy quiet for two seconds anyway. Probably the best £12 I ever spent. Not.

True H2 my stories always have a dash of poetic licence in them, however, unfortunately for me this one is mostly truthful! Also, I am not responsible for the 'fruit spider' phenomenon, although I have actually met the guy in person. Nudgeman/Jackpot George/Streakypoos all one and the same.

I'm not going to say how much I lost just yet, I can't bear to, it's too horrible and trying to mush it out. To some people it'll be an insane amount (about £300ish) ok, I said it, there. To a couple of others it'll be small fry. Winning a 1'er back on fruits did little to ease my pain. I just thought "Aaargh I could have been a 1'er up today if I haven't been such a penis".

Thankyou to however posted the gamcare link after my duplicate post in the betting section. I hope it was http://www.Agenuineattempttohelp.com and not a http://www.patronisingsanctomoniouslinkage.com

I actually went in the bookies for a different machine, the Gold Rush had replaced <<BLOOP>> but as an old guy was playing it who kept loudly proclaiming "I haven't got a fucking clue what's happenning here!" I thought I'd stick around after laying a few small bets and was rewarded in a pervese win £30ish on an AWP, lose £300 on a FOBTish type of way.


Random my arse.

Good night.
I was one of those who replied by saying http://www.gamcare.co.uk to one of your previous posts. I wasn't taking the piss, I wan't being a smart arse, or cocky... I was being serious.
