Just discovered this forum. Finding it very entertaining. I would like to share my own experiences with you all if I may.
I started playing the FOBT roulette about 5 months ago. Just a couple of pounds at first and then progressively increased my stakes (an old story I know). I would conservatively estimate that since I started I have been in the bookies about 300 times!! Different shops in various cities and towns. I too had thought that it was easy money and became dissatisfied very quickly with winning the odd twenty quid here and there. Long story short - from winning about £2,400 in a week I quickly lost the lot and then lost a further £1000 through being greedy and very, very stupid.
Being a relative newcomer to going into betting shops I must say that I can't stand the pondlife dregs who insist on offering their advice and watching your every spin. On the day I lost my grand there was a disgusting lout swearing and hitting his machine and even spitting at it and on the floor. He was also challenging whoever was in earshot to 'dare say summat'. I couldn't believe I had allowed myself to stoop so low as to be in the same room as this yob. Sorry if that sounds harsh but it's true.
I know how addictive these machines are and I know how desperate one feels to win ones losses back but the answer can only ever be to work hard in gainful, respectable employment and to stay away from betting shops.

You nearly made it without insulting me and would have become the ''BIGGER MAN'' but just like your gambling philosophy - youGet Out Now wrote:Dave FOBT King,
Not gay, just can't abide knuckle-scraping, lowbrow munters who sadly appear to be prevalent in betting shops throughout the UK.
You're from Scotland though so I expect you are exactly like the tossers I'm on about.
