When it all gets TOO much......

Popped into a servos on the way to meet my mate on sunday, some middle aged bloke was on a mega bars thing (or summat similar) so i wanders up, fiver into RR, ohh, 25 sheet roll in on last press, thatll do me, kerrrlect, and fecked off, was about 1 ish, so i went to my mates in gillingham, met up with her (shes fit as fook aswell, shame she got a bloke but nevermind) so anyways, we went and saw a film a few of us, jackass 3d, was good, then chilled round her place, i got lost, then ended up back in gillingham again, then finally got doin the right direction, and all i could think was, mmm BK!!

So, back into the same servos again, walked by the arcade bit and just thought, nah, surely not, cant be, can it??

Yarp, bloke is still on that mega bars thing from earlier, its now about 8pm, kin ell get your massive geeze out!

Got me grub, sat in the car and ate it, then thought, ill go have a little flutter in there with the odd coins i have left on me, but just as i went to get outta the car, old bill tears up to the entrance, blues n twos going, so now im deffo going for a peek at whats goin on aint i lol

Walk in, theres shouting, and 2 security geezers, and now the old bill, have got the geezer who was on that b3 pinned on the deck, and there is the remains of a chair jammed thru the screen, fuckin glass everywhere, hes smacked bastid livin fook out of the machine, i think they pepper sprayed him in the end, he was shouting 'that thing robbed me of fuckin 3 grand you cunts!' which is a sick loss, but even so, fuckin hell.

I just WISH WISH WWIISSHH!!! i hadnt left my phone in the car, as that would of been the best footage i have ever recorded at that moment.

Needless to say i didnt play anything due to a chair that potentially was running on 240 volts poking from a mega bars and they closed it all of, i felt sorry for the bloke in a way, but it still made me chuckle.

So, what would you think, yeah, its a 3k loss, but we all know how much B3's can take the piss if in a bad mood, all sorts of horror stories have been heard in the past and im sure they will be heard once more in the future, its easy to get sucked in, but, is destroying the machine (which you werent forced to play might i add) really the way to behave, would you have done the same in the situation, hard for me to judge coz i would simply never put that much thru anything, i havent got that kind of money, but was that really justified?

I've seen a few FOBT's put through in my time, 3 grand is lots to lose but if you smash the thing up you're gonna get pinched with all the cameras on you, no brainer really, obviously the bloke is an addict, i wonder what sort of punishment something like this would carry? I know someone who put a stool through a roulette and all that happened to him was he got barred from the shop.

Lost 13 grand playing blackjack in under 2 hours, back in 1999. In that time I never once won more than 1 hand in a row. I wasn't too pleased. That 3 card poker has had over 10k off me in one session as well.

To be honest I just shrugged it off, I don't ever remember feeling devastated, because it wasn't the first time something like that had happened. In fact I was stood outside the arcades at 8 am the following morning in the pissing rain, waiting fo one to open because I knew stuff was worth playing. I just got on with it. I had a terrible attitude towards money back then, still do now to some extent but these days I don't go to casinos very often at all.

£200 down roughly from a Ready to rock about 10 years ago.

Just casually having a board or two in the local arcade on several machines.Tried for a board on rtr and ended up chasing it............................. whoops.

Almost felt like smashing it.

Megaslot in family arcade, Felix, 800 in no top. Unbelievable. Just walked. Done a bit in roulette over the years but quit that game a few years ago. My theory being a big win tempts you into going back until you brain out, may as well not bother.

£600 on a 1/6 on bet on a Rugby Match about 8 years ago

£300 wages in a FOBT Itbox Roulette in 15 minutes about 5 years ago. I'd only gone in to get some change to play a fruit on single hopper in pub across road. Never really played one since.

700 in coral betting 2/3 of the wheel. 7 spins 1 win, the win returned £108. Ladbrookes £100 spins x7, less than 5 mins. £800 in a £2 rainbow riches with pots at £60 £400 and £500. I did get the pots 3 times mind, anyone guess what i won?

Does online poker count? Lost 3k pot with KK flop KAA, guy had AA. Lost 10k pot on a gamble for double ended SF draw, $'s mind even still

Ive lost the £300/£400 gamble around 10 times on rainbow riches/mummy money. Also put £900 in a mummy money without so much as a set of scatters max win was probably £12ish.

My biggest loss at online poker was about £1400 but i was playing it full time (multitabling $2/4) so i was adequately rolled for it.

Fruit wise, I've done £200 ish down a few times, I remember a cash attack on £35 and an empire on £70 vividly. The empire was the first ever one that trail held on 25p and didn't on £1 and I got suckered in.

You remember lock stock and 2 smoking barrels where nick morans character loses at cards, then gets chucked out and everything is spinning? Such an accurate portrayal.

Did 1500 on roulette in half hour one day so that was that with them and me and a mate put a gran each in a rainbow once so that was that with those as well
