lottery

Post by Spyder »

would you still play fruits if you won the lottery?

heard a few people in the past say they'd buy arcades and or have all their favorite machines at home etc.. but would anyone still play on a "pro" level?

as much as i have loved every minute of my long slotting career, i dont think i would bother.

dont get me wrong even after 20 years of this, the passion is stil there, i never get board slotting and cant wait to be out tomorrow on one of my routes .

however despite the passion and enjoyment, i consider myself a disciplined player and have always looked at this as a full time job, and so if i was to win a cpl of million on the lottery or premium bonds etc, like any job i would definitely walk away.

this is easy to do for most pro's because we have always considerd ourselves as pro players and not gamblers ,

of course if i did win the lottery, and was out with the lads on a night out, i might try the odd board on any machine simply for entertainment and definitely never for a force or to aim for profit .

so in a nutshell despite the passion i would definitely walk away from the game in a heartbeat .




ps because of most pro's sensibilitys, after sorting out family and friends, i would put the money in a high interest account and live off the interest, not go buying helicopter's etc like some idiots . whereas some of the degenerate gamblers on here would probably be back to skint within a year........ its all about the discipline :P

You woud'nt play machines seriously because you would make more in a day off the interest alone.

There's a big difference bewteen a professional player and a gambler. TJ Cloutier has won about $20 million at poker and lost it all on sports betting and roulette.

I think gambling is something thats in you, if i won a million i would have no desire to do any gambling of any form.

You haven't banned him have you? Some of what he said was almost entertaining...










Actually, no it wasn't.
Good call. :)
