We've all done it (apart from those of you who haven't).

But spare a thought for John Daly:

£450,000 into a fruit machine in half an hour????

Must have been a bellfruit!

well the odd pound coin here and there should not do too much damage in the future, if he can take control of it.

Doesn't really matter how much money you have, you always want more.

And a lot of people gamble more for thrill than the money, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Keith Gillespie...

Kerry Packer, the recently dead Australian newspaper mogul liked nothing more than splurging a few million dollars on a couple of hands of blackjack and bacharrat.

Remember reading on the internet years ago (on a similar forum to this), that Henry Kelly used to drink in some guy's local and always play the machine. As the story went, he used to get qutie irate at losing, and indulge in a bit of fruit machine-bashing.
