Fruit Machine Chat

just wondered for those that have lost their heads and lots big how do you recover?

Depends how big the lose is, I guess.

Don't gamble, grind. Keep your head.

If I have big losses I do a spot of mild tooling to make it back. Nothing too excessive.

compulsive gamblers get over it, the depression, anger and worry all go after a few days, a good compulsive gambler could lose an entire months wage and easily recover from the emotional results within a day or two.

if a professional fruit player gets sucked into a machine that plays up, they'll get what they can back and move on to another unit...

if a fruity player who fancies themselves as a pro but dont really have the bankroll to maintain gets involved, they tend to panic and get stressed, borrow money from everywhere and get in a mess..



depends on the person and the situation, and the emotional involvement...

Yeah exactly, second machine of the day (and the first was 70 for 70) yesterday. Hilo Silver, chipped to fuck (I just found it) and it cost me 185 for 70. I was pretty annoyed by it because my route after it wasn't huge, but I soldiered on and managed to make £357 in the end, so I hit my days target (just).

You've just gotta move on, take the hit and forget about it as soon as you can.

start of the day , huge loss ,,,,,,,,,,, yep just soldier on ,,,,,,,,, till you recover , or part recover at least.


but if you still end up down on the day ,,,,,,,,,,,, do you A" draw a line under it and write it off as a bad day ? ,,,,,,,,,,,, or do you B" go out the next day starting x amount down determined to get it all back ????????????


i personally think A'' is your better option ,,,,,,,,, B" can lead to rash impulsive decisions ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, dont chase.

Write it off as a bad day and start over the next. played a coppa loada this monday 100 loss and lost 40 on a refull cluedo 140 down 1st 2 machines. kept my head made that back and another 240.

U played the cluedo out even tho it was dead?

Having said that I remember myself and mr pickareel did that once in a certain bowling alley in Kent!!

Our guess afterwards was that someone must have got one and then skilled another one up next board!!

This is The £70 version I'm talkin about!!

It wasn't pleasant!! Rather large loss if I remember!!

I lost a hefty amount on a certain machine yesterday, pulled a bit back in the end but still lost £80 each on the day, wrote it off as a bad day and made it back today and some, i'd never lose my head and randomly start pumping the nearest Noel or roulette/S16.

Full 1st coin, 1st board gave 4 red cash then not a ready board for £100.

Im over that Jamie Spencer thing now. Back to normal.
