And everything you have said is so true...

When i was younger i used to work in the amusements and a lot of my mates were travellers whos families owned arcades.....Now i soon learnt that you would never win on the machines in the long run..

A bloke who owned some of the biggest arcades once told me.....never gamble on anything where a machine determines the result....

I remember we used to have the machines percentages changed when Easter was upon us. I used to live in Clacton On Sea which was a big seaside resort with plenty of day trippers holiday camps etc and all the machines were on about 65% payouts from Easter weekend through till about the end of September the upped to 80% throughout the winter.

I remember when they put the roulette machines into the bookies.....people were doing everything they had and i know of at least two blokes who did over 100k just on these machines.
A greek bloke i know was going to the bank on a Monday with the wekends takings....went into Corals and within five hours had done the lot...12k....

Poker maybe is a diffrent kettle of fish (nice pun) as their is a bit of skill involved unlike pushing a few buttons and hoping.

It pleases me to know when people realise they are going to end up skint if they carry on playing machines etc.....and as long as you only gamble what you can afford and its fun then things are ok.

When gambling becomes more then fun its time to give up....

I could tell you loads of stories of gamblers who have blown the lot and more all of them said if i could just have back half of what i have lost i would give up....Well we all know they wouldnt.

Hopefully POKERJOHNNY will tell us more about fruit machines as thats what he used to do.......

Good luck m8 and if you stay away from my tips im sure you will be ok...
