Most annoying thing

how many times have you walked into an arcade checking some lo techs out , to put a pound in a machine to find it backing e.g BX7 M10, BARX etc and thought ok lets try and make a little profit on this.

contrary to the plans before you know it your involved. over 100 in and no win ang playing stone cold dead. 200 in and still nothing happens.

then out the blue the woman sitting next to you thats been playing om the machine next to you says ' ive just emptied that paid loads out i wouldny go on that if i was you' to your disgust and by this time absolutely pissed off why did she bother telling you ? after which watching you put over 200 in and then tell you .

has this happend to anyone ?

She's probably not telling you as it was her that emptied it and she wants you to fill it up for her to win on again.

look carefully to what i have said above , it as her herself taht told me , what a nerve after sitting next to me and then the cheek to say she had emptied it earlier.

remember doing £400 in an s16 and some guy was playing a m/c just a few down from mine. Im £300 in and he comes and says that he JP'd it last night. If he had told me from the start i wouldnt have bothered :x

you get some people that will say that they have just hammered something because they can see its ready too pay, and they hope you will leave it for them too jump on... as if

also it always makes me laugh when someone shouts across the pub 'don't play that mate ive just had £75' first pound full

. then after you batter it you look and see there face :P

Or when someone says i have just made £50 out of that, then you key it and it is £10 off

Surely that doesn't make any difference?!

End of Random Debate (I know where this one leads...

How often that happens, too! So often someone (usually a fella sitting at the table near the fruit) will say "Someone just took over £80 from that, mate!)", I'll always go "Well, thanks, but I'm just going to try one pound, see if it's still paying..." for it to fall to the bottom and land on a pile of gold!

works both ways though.

ive had "aquaintances" tell me to get off an m/c straight away in arcades cos it's paid out recently.

I believe them generally cos that;s just me, but lets be honest, if they tell you straight away and you do get off then what have you lost? nothing really, just go and find another m/c.

if they weren't there to tell you, you would play it anyway so whether they say something or not surely it's best to play safe?

Service stations/bowling alleys full of chavs/spiders are completely different.

the best is when someone tells you they have done the m/c but its dropping for you and you kill it and they still pretend, saying ''whoa, its been well done today''

when someone has told me "I've won xxx from that mate" I pay scant attention. The information isn't in the context of how much has gone in previously, how much it cost him to get if he isn't lying, and indeed, I don't trust anyone to play machines as well as myself (1), so even if the advice is true, value is likely left in the machine.
Experience wise, people are just lying. Especially fun is the ones that say something happened that is impossible on the fruit. These people are just losers. Who on earth needs the admiration and adulation of a random punter in a boozer about your lied-about gambling prowess ? I look upon these foul people with little more than ill-disguised contempt, and a slight sneer of disgust as I scoop yet more gold from the payout tray of their failure.

(1): By no means do I imply that I am a good gambler. I just go by what returns profit for myself.
