Rocket Money took all my pocket money!
Rocket Money took all my pocket money!
Had a shocker on one of these the other day, wasn't showing great signs but didn't seemed battered so pushed on, what a mistake, didn't show for £90 odd then within the next £30 got a flat top and then a £50 which killed it. Had to walk away a full £50 down! :x
Got to be one of my worst losses ever, whats everyones worst loss on a red?

Sounds like something i would have used to do if bored in the pub with the mates, either boredom of lack of disipline ?
better to lose £10 on 2 boards seeing if it is showing than to lose £50 playing a dead red.
personally i went for for tops a year or two ago only had £60 on me and had to leave it showing all the signs came back 2 hours later it had either been milked to death of MS

Fed last £20 note in, LOW AND BEHOLD "HEY, CHECK IT OUT", NOTE MECH JAM ERROR". Pub Closing Time, Empty Wallet, machine off till engineer comes. Oh Dear!

Re: .
I started out rather well on reds but have been stung for £50, £60, £70 quite a lot due to the lack of discipline or boredom or being spurred on that joel_winders cites.
Really went for a LAB a few weeks ago that was dropping from the off, put £130 through it going for top that only went for £25, got top again, Star choice red etc.. to claw about £80 back but scary scary shit.

My worst was also Rocket Money.
Showed all red but 2 for mixed bars which I thought at the time was too much for mixed bars (never even classed it as a sign since).
So thought i'd send it red. £120 in and still not red. Finally went red and took JP. Then took a top for £50 and went totally dead.
So about £50 - £60 down at this point. Took about another £30 back (don't know why i didnt walk - got stubborn i guess) and then blagged green lines off respin which timed out to SnS which I hit.
So overall about £60 or so down. Messed up what was upto that point a profitable day.

Also had a buzzing DNA cost £125 for the first top but luckily ended up taking £90 out which could have been worse.
And have also put £160 in a Pay Cheque to take £125 out.
Got a £75 then a £50. Looking back can't believed I gambled for the top for the second £50. If it would have killed me i'd probably be £85 down instead of £35...

Was waiting for a mate to turn up and it was offering feature after feature, letting me get up to £7 etc. I know this means nothing but thought while I was waiting would try for a few quick steals.theoak wrote:you forced simply because it wasnt killing you on the first gamble?!
This then turned into £20+ down so (for once a severe lack of discipline kicked in) decided on the force. Sometimes you need a blip like this to remind you that discipine is such a wonderful thing!
