Never try a few quid with mrs on the way!
Posted: Wed Apr 15, 2009 8:21 pm
Yet another CLOT horror story for the collection, arranged to meet mrs in a 241 pub for a late lunch as she was finishing work early, thought id get there half an hour early to score brownie points, who am i kidding got there early for the casino royal on the games warehouse. Said machine was unfortunately turned off awaiting refill ????
In the corner sits the nightmare waiting to happen but what harm can 4 or 5 quid for a board do while im waiting for the bag. Full up and refilled tmrw morning and dropping heavily onto coins. 3 quid in offers me £25 on an 11, lower, 3 , lovely. Head says collect as i know what a fucker these can be but heart says higher, before i know it my hand has pressed higher, how did that happen, lose, shit. Proceeds to die on its arse not going above a fiver, 50-60 later it glows on me arb1 so im thinking money back small loss at worst. Takes another 60 for the top with 2 blocks on £35 beforehand, and yes u guessed it, flat.
The bag arrives as im taking the 35 out, "get lucky did we?" not quite i'm a few quid down but wont be long, its got more in it i lied. Told her to get a table and i wouldnt be long!!!
Not prepared to take an £85 loss when i couldve been 30 up even if the mrs is waiting, a couple of boards later it goes back up to £35, shouldve cut and run here but the hand with the mind of its own went lower than a 9 and it lost. U know yr in trouble at this point but what u gonna do. Take the loss on the chin and have a nice lunch with the other half, or proceed to pump endless pound coins into the piece of filth and end up sleeping in the spare room tonight.
How did you guess, half an hour later get a mouthful from the bag and shes out of there leaving me wondering if ill have enough for the cab home when im finshed, i only went there with £400 but silly me i should know better, never take on a CLOT with less than a grand.
Im now in for fast approaching £200 its glowing like a chrstmas tree but is blocking for fun on £15s £25s and £35 , eventually get it again, flat. Wank stain. Recycle that plus another 50, loads more blocks on £35 before it goes £70, collect a bit of afters for loss of £170 coupled with the fact the bag aint talking to me, But at least i can thank the machine for that so i cant be too critical of it.
