The bit where JG was late to do the key bet is almost as bad as the 2 times I had to leave key bets...on £500 and £488 to go a pick my kids up because their mum was on some course. On returning for the 1st £500 (which had been there for a full 2 weeks before I'd even touched it and it was on exactly the same amount of spins since key), I noticed this oldish fellow coming in and playing all the Trailblazers and being rather more nosey than you'd expect someone to be over something you are playing.. I noticed that he asked the shop staff if there were any other Corals around and I noticed he came back about 30 minutes later... I left it just about £20 down and after he had left again, returned 3-4 hours later to find the pot on............ £25! For those of you who 'know' that means not 1 but 2 pots have gone! The one I left on £488 was a month later, I was even on it because I did a last minute £100 spin before I left and I hit a £7 number. 3 hours later imagine my horror when not only was someone on it doing it but the same person I described on the previous encounter came in to join him! These 2 betting shops were a good distance apart by the way.
On 1 other occasion I rowed £700 into a key bet and spent over 8 hours on it, came back at around 11 the next morning and the pot was gone. I find it pretty incredible not that they get found but that the person who plays the ones they find are not getting stuck on them - as if there is a button code they enter which extracts the pot!
As for what happened to Oscar, I think that was the best thing that could have happened to you. You shouldn't wish you'd had a spin because you'd be addicted again, regardless of the outcome.

i can only feel sadness for the above posters , its a 50/50 gamble when taking the experimenting route , , , , you could of course discover the holy grail , keep it to yourself , play it wise , take unnoticeable ammounts and make a fortune , and best of british to anyone who achieves this.
but above lies cautionary tales , and goes to ilustrate just how easy it is to find nothing etc , , , , and just how many experiments can one afford before bankruptcy looms ?
so i get stick for being spoonfed and living on the side of caution , , , fair enough, im never going to get my holy grail , , , i can live with that , because im also safe in the knowledge that bankruptcy isnt coming for me anytime soon.
respect to those who pioneer, , , ,
but theres a fine line between the successful entrepreneur and the saddict gambler

I reckon George has been visiting Bedworth, or Nuneaton. Either way both those places reek of doom.
Nuneaton fact: There's actually a queueing system in the Wetherspoons. Queue forms to the left of the bar and don't cut in line or you'll know about it.
2nd fact: the Red Hot in there doesn't trap as easily as some.
