So your walking down the middle of the high street and in the distance you see the bookies. All of a sudden for no apparent reason you start walking at a 45 degree angle to towards the bookies. Your feet are involuntary moving on their own. Next thing you know your in there. Well may as well while I’m here. 200 to 300 quid down in the space of 5 minutes on the fobt you leave and think what the hell just happened. Was I hypnotized ?. Was I dragged in by the bookies magnet?. You stand there in disbelief. This has happened to me too many times. Fortunately not for a while. Has it happened to you ? I can’t believe I’m the only one.

Your not the only one mate. Something about them soul sucking soon to be paperweights that draw you in. I’ve done it countless times in the past (and had a very lucky escape just before Christmas which I posted about).

It’s amazing how if I’m playing poker or blackjack I can easily walk away but them fucking things just attract you in. Even as I put money in I know I should walk away oh to late already span it. I try my hardest to keep as far away as possible.

Always said its like I’ve been hypnotised,, nothing else can explain the draw of more 20 quid notes going in until I’m bust. Horrible machines .

[Kingpab WANTED $149 Outlaw]

Like Andy says anything else it’s easy to walk away from but them machines suck u dry lol.

Think it’s the quick hit and quick money that got me. I also liked the fact I’m unknown and there is no trace. Think that’s why I’ve never really took to online, don’t like that it would leave proof of what I’ve been doing with my cash

Weird that I thought red lights in windows was the only thing that drew men in like magnets……. O_O

I know the feeling man, too many times when I was 18-19 did I do my absolute plums on a FOBT in a bookies. For some reason, all sense and logic seems to disappear when you’re just feeding the wretched things. You walk out and feel like you’ve been slapped in the face and don’t really know whats gone on apart from having an empty wallet.

I’ve not played on a FOBT of any kind for years since getting into playing slots online instead. Now I understand how they work I can’t comprehend putting money into them when they have a max payout of £500 when I can play a larger selection of slots online, with a higher RTP, and can win much, much more than £500 for staking the same amount per spin. I also think its much easier to set up your responsible play limits online before playing, and for some strange reason I can lose £100 online and walk away where playing in the bookies seems much harder to leave; strange huh..

[blacko1974 WANTED $248 Spectator]

It’s my own personal opinion but I think we are going to see the high street bookie shops half in size in the latter part of this year, they may work round the £2 but there is no way the average punter wants that. Most blokes I know stick a score in for 2 spins of the wheel, the new stake wont make me cross the road to play them no more.
