Cool, wandering round pubs and arcades all day, every day. I couldnt think of anywhere i would rather be.

Oh yes i could, at work maybe earning a good guaranteed living.

Have you told your bank or mortgage lender what you do for a living yet??

So your 3rd post on here was telling everyone you made £25k per year and your fourth was telling us all that it is such hard work being a pro player??

Yeah sure, its a good thing that 90% of people either pop a couple of quid in the machine and leave or half force a machine and then bottle out, otherwise us "enigma's" would be screwed :lol:

Yeah this job is quality if you are a young age, don't have to worry about morgage, bills etc (Basically living under your parents house).

But if you want to continue to do this as a living it so hard to get a morgage etc etc! I would consider looking for an actual job when you get older! With the uprising of more and more players, and machines getting harder to read, bigger stake prises etc it wil be hard to make a constant and sufficient profit to support a family!

Simple.

I really don't honestly believe that in this day and age you can 'do' fruit machines for a living.
