Mother of all emptiers on a FOBM
Thought you might like to hear this story from 3 years ago here in Jersey:
The old style Ladbrokes FO machines, think the first ones in, they had roulette, etc but also a bingo game.
Turns out I was playing this game, has 49 numbers and you can place bets on what happens, such as what numbers will be picked, total of numbers etc.
One bet was to bet on the range of the total of the numbers, went something like this:
Total: 1-49: Pays evens
Total 50-60: Pays 5/1
Over 60 pays Evens
However I discovered the game was paying 2/1 for the low bet, so you could cover the bet and worst outcome was you got your money back! Anyway I managed to win £10k in the space of 4 days before I was rumbled, silly really, anyway not long after the machines where removed from Jersey as they contravined gambling laws here! I could of got more money out I supppose but Jersey is a very small island. I know this game was available in the UK mainland for a while but the machines were updated by the time I found this out! Otherwise I would have taken 2 weeks off touring around the UK!
