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

Number Runner fucked up because of Sticky Buttons and to wind up the evening, Machine £180 in overall, nearly there.
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!

Came back 2 days later, Engineer been, got my £20 back but machine stone dead.

Don;'t think I've ever been DOWN a ton on a red, though have been in that much. DNA down about £70-80 at a guess.

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.

Kings ransom must be my worst loss. They can be proper evil with fake redding etc.

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.

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!

Lukestar doesn't ever lose, he has emptiers that work every time on every single fruit machine ever made, remember?
