FOBT loss

Post by harry2 »

Walked into bookies earlier. Chinese guy just got off roulette, was visibly annoyed. the machine flashed up the " set your limits "'screen.
£5,609 in 150 minutes was a big loss.
Roulette free since December 2011.

Poor chap, what a horrible waste of money. Of course we know not, he may be gambling well within his means.

£38 per minute loss, he wants to have a great job to be able to afford a habit like that!

At a maximum £100 a spin, every thirty seconds, that's a maximum payout of 81%. That's awful luck over 300 spins.

I don't like the sound of there new pop up screens informing how much your loss is and in what time, do they pop up one saying "Congratulations, you have taken us for £531 in the last 8 minutes 40 seconds"?

A message pops up after half hour playing.You don't even need to read it, just click on it to make it disappear and keep spinning.

No one has ever won in the bookies so no one knows the answer to that 6-7-lose.

Ofcourse its going to be a low rtp, he lost.

Asian punters that I know are either not al that minted, regular punters have businesses, those who always seem flush into unlawful activity allegedly.

That doesn't mean he had that amount to start with... It's a total staked in that time... He could have put £50 in and had 112 spins...

Dont think it says "loss"... rather "session spend" it think.
