Even if Mr icon-hop meets up with those involved in the bet what's it going to prove?
U could go to x amount of casinos, sometimes you will find what Mr icon-hop claims is run of the mill patterns on fobt's and sometimes u won't. Just like u could at various bookies.
Why? Cos they're fucking random!!! It's what happens!!

am i right in thinking they give you a lot more info on a fobt than in a casino... i *think* local casinos to me show only 6 numbers?
they give you a pen and a sheet if you want.. but im pretty sure theres about 6 numbers on the board
fobt give up to 16
fobt is random, but grapicly offers more misleading pointless info, % of high/low numbers, "hot" numbers "cold" numbers, history of 10-16 numbers.. "since last zero"

I was wondering about the likely winner of your bet with OB, so thought I'd work it out.
I quickly realised I haven't got a clue how to do it, so referred it to a mate of mine who has a masters in stats. He couldn't do it either, so referred to some online genuis who has come back with the answer.
Apparently, the chance of finding a terminal showing 4 (or more) of the same numbers out of 10, is 1 in 275. This obviously assumes its genuinely random (I'm not going there!!)
OB should be winning this bet without issue, but stats do funny things, as proven by what JG found yesterday on the first one he checked. 1 in 275 isn't huge, so it is pretty much guaranteed that there are several of them somewhere in the UK with a screen like that right now.
For anyone who wants the proof, its at the link below, although it might as well be written in Chinese!

So then gents, let us know who wins? and I'll take you up on the offer as well Lee if its still open

I'd worked out the probability before I took the bet 

"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

BFK, I've had it with wars, its very childish to start a slanging match over a thread/entire chat board. I just thought you kind of ruined the thread with your reply. It was like having a load of smart people, a couple of professors, nice sort of snooty little show going on and then some kid off the estate walks in and says "Look bruv.... its like DISSSSS!!!!" then sticks his middle finger up at everyone and walks off.
I guess I COULD be being a bit oversensitive about it but yes, it DID seem to me like you VANDALISED this thread!!! Well, fair play, you're entitled to your opinion. I have nothing against you and we do have "Posterer" as a common character of dislike. I'd hardly say I've vandalised this place. I've made a lot of threads yes but at least they're far more interesting than the previous lot we were getting!
On that note, I unplug myself for a while so the water in me stops boiling. Just for you, BFK (is that meant to be Bell Fruit King???)

Not at all, I simply stated that no matter who won the bet it wouldn't prove a thing.
And yes in my opinion they are random.
This has been done a thousand times over.
You and that john32 posterer litter this board with nothing but tripe.
Hence why apart from the odd contribution from other long time regulars it's just u 2 fucking what was a decent message board up.

Right, well you take over from me, let's see what gems you come up with. I've done my thread creating for a while.
Have fun with John32
Good combination, a tree and a plank - which is which?

how about a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray.
