They reckon the drug dealers have got in on the FOBTs by betting their earnings to legitmise them.

They put 50 on red 50 on black and one on 0 and any losses they call taxes and then they have the betting slips to explain any large amounts of cash they're carrying around.

I stuck about £50 in one down Kiln park over the course of a few days just to win my daughter Peppa Pig. I could have bought 10 of the fuckers for that and still had enough change for a couple of pints!!!!

f**k, this was a few years ago on the 5o pence a go machines. Gambling Regulations must have changed since then.
A jackpot must be huge if it's 2o pound a spin :shock: The fact I focus on the jackpot and not the ludicrous cost shows just how easily we can be sucked into the addiction. All people see is the possible fortune coming in.
Recently a smartly dressed guy approached me in the station asking for 50 pence towards buying some milk and othyer essentials for the weekend, I knew he wasn't a junkie so I asked why he needed it. said he blew everything on the bookies bandit.


£500 is the most you can win on them in one go but you could win that a couple of times in a few spins.

Most I have put in one was £2000 and I eventually got back up to £1800 so only a £200 loss.

Somethings not right when you celebrate losing £200 like youve just won the lottery :lol:

Other times not so fortunate and lost £1000 plus on a few occasions, and £500-£1000 more times than I care to remember.

Done it about 6 times ....good crack and you actually get bored of gambling !

Mind you apart from the stag do trip ... Had flukes every time .

Those roulette dealers can put the ball in the hole . The art is getting them on your side. Charm and blag works well.

Be horrible to them like the Arabs etc and they will clean you right out.

Best win from 100 bucks won 15,000 bucks , funny thing I always remember when about 18,000 up was

" hey sir you haven't even tipped me yet "

" oh aye sorry mate ... Tell u what 100 bucks number 30 comes in 50/50 ..... Straight on the nose "

On the same note seen the arrogant Arab treating he dealer like shit .... Playing nearly all the numbers , 3 spins 60.000 bucks down the pan as each time the number missed out came in .

Funny thing was I was watching queuing for breakfast with the wife holding the funds ..... The numbers I wanted to bet , 500 min bet she wouldn't give the dough, the dealer was listening and smiling .....the Arab wasn't on them ....... Each 3 spins he pinged it on the number with a wry smile to me and a f**k u to the Arab !!!

Chris as well as the gym try this

I used to like a casino punt but felt the buzz so walked quickly.

This helps - take a £100 say as a float.

Do what you want with it to add growth

See how big u can get the " pot " to grow

Count it daily --/ only things banned in the rules are gambling and drugs .

Buy sell whatever --- each time you increase the buzz is still there !!!
