Suggestion - fruit machines section? - Page 2 - The Punters Lounge

SteveO · 08-05-2008, 16:07

I know a Guy affectionately known as "Fat Carl" who was occasionally in the bookies. Then the roulette machines came in and over time he became hooked sticking £20 on 1 number and in the end it cost him over £5,000 and he doesn't go in the bookies at all now.

Growing up I used love playing the bandits but I haven't put a penny in them for years and the thought of playing computerised roulette has never entered my mind ever.

As long as you keep it to a bit of fun then you'll be fine - I dont know what you earn etc. but if £20 is just a bit of pocket money to you that you dont mind losing and it gives you some enjoyment, then go for it. Its just the way you were talking earlier made it sound as if you were in it to make money, which I would strongly advise against!!

Its just some friendly advice mate - up to you if you take it

SeanMac · 08-05-2008, 18:31

naw mate

wis just sayin that a stuck £20 in won £100 , next day stuck £20 in won £200

am not daft mate , i know that my luck was just in , and its just £20 now and then , the only reason it happened 2 days in a row was because i won the day before lol

SeanMac · 11-05-2008, 18:55

won £60 the day

alexmac · 11-05-2008, 20:55

Wouldn't touch them in a million years. For a start they are bad value. You get 5 plays for £1 on the computer roulette compared to 3 plays for a £1 stake on the puggies. Designed for mugs IMO.

SeanMac · 11-05-2008, 21:02

not when ive played it 4-5 times and won 360 lolol

alexmac · 11-05-2008, 21:05

Then I guess that makes you a mug...

Your earlier post made me laugh, about leaving a machine for 2 weeks after it had paid you out £300. You clearly do not have a clue how they work. For a start, they are random number generators, so, in theory - you could win with every bet you place.

Secondly, if you think a machine will stop paying out for 2 weeks because you took £300 out of it then you are wrong. In the bookies I used to work in someone taking out £300 was nowt mate. Try a couple of grand over the course of a day.

Avoid them like the plague, unless you actually have money to burn.

SeanMac · 11-05-2008, 21:11

you can only take 500 out at a time

did he have crowbar ?

SeanMac · 11-05-2008, 21:12

and from my experiences playing them i can say that i dont think they are random , they work in a pattern for say 5 mins and then it changed

Errrrr, think you will find you can take out more than £500. You just get a voucher

Quality comment

If they aren't random, they are fixed against you.

alexmac · 11-05-2008, 21:15

No they dont. Total bollocks. If they work in a pattern then why do you ever stop playing them? Surely, if it is a pattern then you can just keep on winning.

No, he didnt have a crowbar. People can print a receipt, collect and then go play again you know...

alexmac · 11-05-2008, 21:16

Rename the thread perhaps... 'Mugs r us'?!?!

why call me a mug ? have i lost any money ?

alexmac · 11-05-2008, 21:19

Did I call you a mug? Don't think so...

If you havn't lost any money yet, then trust me - you will.

I guess you will just have to learn the hard way.

But, I guess you know best, right?

your right i probably will learn the hard way , when i lose £40 in 5 mins in it one day

but im enjoying playing it and its made me a profit so far , £360

so i appreciate you trying to warn me off them , and your probz right but you cant deny that its fun playing the roulette especially when your winning

friskyfitz · 12-05-2008, 01:22

Of course its fun when you are winning but that feeling does not last for too long....

It you are winning now then its better to leave it with a profit because you WILL get caught...
