After my 3rd DR10 and suspended prison sentence, I made the wise choice and the right time to have a career change. Lucky I never bothered with bookies so had savings to invest in self employment.

Hi Betch, despite my mostly negative posts on here it's still more viable to play fruits, than work full time at the moment,

However, never has the outlook been so gloomy.

Pubs. Which games released within the last year are remotely playable? PS I don't class tit arsing around waiting for a £20 board to make £3 profit as playable.

Bingo. All the grannies/casuals know how the games roll. Fuck staking out Doris for the session intervals. She'll only bung a card on it anyhow and get Mavis on it. Scientific Games tighter than ever. Loopholes closed. You know they have actually advised sites concerned about irregular play on community games to call the police. Shocking.

Services. Desperate player magnets. I'd never go out my way for one and even if I'm passing I usually drive on by. What's the point? If it's not £100 box, row the fuck out of it for a probable loss. That's the player mentality at times.

Bookies. We've had a couple of bits in the bookies this last year. Potential huge earnings, except wait, the games get taken off sharp. They can even take them off during the day. Terminals with no credit in, game wiped. That's why Riyde, your Potty on 500 500 500 got wiped, you played it down to zero. You only needed 5p in credit to prevent that, although I bet if they really wanted they could wipe it anyway or lock the terminal.

Casinos. I wish I even had a method to start off with. Boring drossy games with no chance of any player edge. Ok there's the old pot will drop before xxx games, but come on....even the munteriest of munters knows the craic there.

So with no fresh blood it looks bleak. I'm sure even the players with billions of clownin arounds in piddling Poddling on the Naze holiday camp must realise this, unless I've got it all wrong.



Anyway, is it about the same for you, or are you smashing it around Doncaster?


Ps when I played that HOF it was stone dead on its arse, so someone is/was doing it without too much Charlie H heat.

You don't pay income tax on the first £10000.

Not bothering with fruits at all really. The games changed so the player has to change. Still making extra dough albeit a lot more stress free than red cards in pubs all day. Everything still good though

I actually didn't play a Reel King after early Monday afternoon and it got pulled Monday evening from what I remember. A few people I knew managed to get quite large refunds off William Hill though for that!

Really wish I had given up gambling for a few months after those, they ended up making me feel far too invincible!

Good to hear. Your own sanity, health and family are way more important than irritating boxes with flashy lights on them. Sounds like you had a good thing going in that casino thread of yours...Gawd knows what it could be, I don't even bother playing new slots on demo these days.

+other George...come on...we want all the gory details
+jeff...that's what all the market traders in their ferraris tell the tax man

It doesn't matter if you have credit or not in bookies games i dont think, they can just remove the game whenever they want!
