400,000 quid in 9 months?

I'm not saying I don't believe you, but that really is a phenomenal figure. That's 1,500 each and every day...

Poor guy. Is he off them now?

That's like shoving five Lees on black, waiting nine months for the ball to stop and seeing it land in red.

Would have thought it was more than that?

yeah only need a bad half hour on these are bad 10 mins even, compared to what yoused to be not too bad for these now have still got the occassional lose £100-200 quid in me but if play maybe on sat can leave after £20 (my all stake).

Have seen one crying after playing one probably done the months mortgage and has to tell wife, out of interest I know and dont want to ask whats the most one has lost on a session on these buts whats the most someone has won?

My record is about £100 in for £1500 betfred
I normally play on the ladbookes one if play as on the others the video sequence gives it away in 2 secs of spin, havent memorised the lads video sequence yet so still have a bit of amusement on my £5 spin these days

Dont know the specific detail but a mate of mine was 90 mins into a session on virgin casino and was 1800 in when he banked it up to 14400!!!

Essentially, he starts of with low bets on zero and neighbours plus 8, 11, 30 and 36 and then starts to back them up when they start to roll in. He then will start to heavily back the ones that dont come in after a fairly lengthy session playing.

When he wanted to withdraw the cash he wasnt able to as they wanted more ID from him. I think he had to fax them a utility bill and a copy of his passport.

Anyway, I think by the time he got around to doing this he only had about 2k left!!!!!
