Having a really bad run of form had £400 after paying off phone debt and car stuff and without transport atm I just lost it and blew it on the roullete as using public transport to get around its absolutley awful just pathetic.

Cant be bothered with all the walking as now im missing my car, owe out £200 aswel due to a wager with me mate over a game of football.

So atm im skint and have no way out and have a night out im signed into on saturday night.

God knows what to do, never had anything like this happen in the last year.

Sounds pretty bad anfield. Why punt those wank roulettes tho? Think you just need to stick to what you know best, especially at this time of year. Try to get a few quid together, get your head down and play those fruits!

If you got a car and have no frigging roulette addiction, I dont understand why I started playing it.

Don't you just get annoyed with them instead?

I have a very occasional dabble if i've won a bit elsewhere....but i get so peed off the times when nothing comes in, i just don't bother playing them and chasing losses.

I usually do a £10 area bet, or £10 split onto 10 numbers £1 each for a £36 win. No win, leave it.....win, pocket me £36.

Its rare to find a fruit player who dosent lose at another form of gambling be it horses, poker or roulette etc.

Its in the blood, although I cant think of a worse thing than punting my winnings away on another form of gambling.

Have done it myself and it fuckin hurts to see your days hard graft disappear on a nag or a bad beat at poker.

im the same, spend hours trying to get a good result off a few fruits and then slam it all in the roulette in about 10 mins....

i've had days when i just want to jump off a bridge.


you know the scene from the lock stock film when he looses the 100k at a cards game and walks out of the building all dizzy and fucked up....and then that tune comes on...thats just like me on the bad days...

I have my moments just on the fruits!

Go out for a sesh, get pissed and end up blowing most of the profit chasing a dead red or some dodgy bellfruit :roll:

Discipline is the key

Yeah its just all swings and roundabouts, I had £190 up after two days graft and then put the £40 on roulette and got it to £400 and stopped.

Have done £600 in minuites on it but have made £100 off £1 but I do want to quit or it will be the end of me :shock:

Saying this the fruits have not made me lose anything its just when i am walking and go in a pub with a CCP and a BFM I will play both now for some reason as I dread the walk to the next pub.

Pathetic really

Interesting posts, I agree these roulette machines can zap cash in no time. Had a good weekend just gone about 150 - £200 with some very good results on reds, had one of those days when just about every red is backing and showing.Even made about £50 profit on Red Gaming Kings Ransom! Unfortunately that profit and more has been wiped out I reckon (if you combined all the time I have played the roulette machines these week) in about 15 minutes of playing those roulette machines.


You just know though just as you think roulette machines are terrible and going to stop playing you will have a day when you put a £10 in and end up £100-200 up and suddenly forget that you are still way down overall.

Stop playing FOBT roulette. Stop playing FOBT roulette. Stop playing FOBT roulette.

I'm not driving a mini metro. I'm not driving a mini metro. I'm not driving a mini metro.

I'd rather give my money to Jason Swinburn and watch him snort up a load of crack than play those RIGGED fixed odds betting terminals.


Stop playing FOBT roulette...etc.
