    For my 2 pence I still read regularly and post when something piques my interest but as I’m not gambling at the moment there’s less for me to share with people and I got tired of having the same conversations ad infinitum explaining how online slots are random, not compensated and not rigged. People still ask the questions of how slots work, how bonuses work etc. and bring up the topic but there’s only so many times I’m going to explain the maths or cite the Gambling Commission rules before it gets tiring, particularly when there’s always that group who’ll be like “okay well I understand the maths and the law now but I don’t care I still think it’s all rigged and also I continue to play slots every day even though I’m convinced it’s a conspiracy to take my money and programmed so I can’t win anyway”

    I enjoy your posts fella, sometimes I have to read them a couple of times before my thick head can digest the information but they are certainly interesting. Most of us just see the bright lights of the game itself without understand the mechanisms of the slotime.

    That was always going to be a tense debate that has no official outcome. I am left feeling I can’t speak my mind on the subject in fear of a flame war happening again which is entertaining for the braindead and damaging for the forum vibe.

    How slot games work under the hood is an interesting topic in a variety of ways, but one I’m personally done with to the extent that for me, I’ve posted all my knowledge on the subject, it’s there on the forum for anyone who searches and I don’t feel the need to cover the same ground again. So I’m just not participating in any more of those discussions, you won’t be getting any flaming from me. I guess my main point here is having had that discussion three or four times already and with me not gambling for the moment, there’s just not so much fresh material for me to post about. It’s the same with oh so-and-so game is difficult to bonus; yes I’m sure it is, that kind of post doesn’t hold any interest for me any more because they’re all the same outcome…some people get good bonuses, some people don’t.

    I’ll still definitely post if I see something I want to respond to or enjoy talking about, I suppose I’ve just found a lot of threads lately are a bit repetitive. That’s not a dig at anyone, it’s a great forum, I love the community and the general sense of friendship and often the repetition is the result of new members asking old questions. That’s fine, I just don’t want to always be posting the same stuff.

    I think most people on here respect and appreciate your expertise on the subjects you have mentioned. I know I do. I do however think it is getting difficult to come up with fresh ideas to keep the forum moving. Personally I don’t mind the controversial posts as they attract alot of attention. Some will disagree with that but i enjoy the banter. Also the different characters we have on here all bring something good to the forum. I feel I haven’t learnt about different topics which previously I knew little about.

    I don’t get people who send death threats. Like actual death threats to someone.

    Not the usual oh fuck off and die, just actually taking time out of your day to message someone saying you’re going to harm them or whatever. How do people get away with thinking that’s normal behaviour over the age of 13 ?

    I just don’t get it, even if people are jealous, what type of sociopath do you need to be to do these things. It’s one of those things I’ll never understand.

    One day I’d love to hold a ranking in society whereby people feel the need to wish I was dead, usually I’d think it was a politician or someone who’s actions have a direct impact on their lives which is out of their hands.

    Not the fucking bandit who makes slot videos and uploads them to the internet ffs, there are some proper dweebs around ?

    I’m surprised you haven’t had your fair share of threats from disgruntled ex boyfriends of your harem, our very own biam Casanova ????

    Hahaha don’t want to add fuel to the fire but I’m 6’3 too so never get any problems really ??‍♂️

    Not that I’m that type of lad, I’m a loveable rogue I suppose ? Just waiting on This girls approval tbh ?????

     

    What are you waiting for me to approve of Michael? ?

    Why not both? 😛 We certainly do, we also do taste testings which is a lot of fun when they let me pick a bottle of Whisky/Rum to test and then almost the entire bottle is gone by the end of the shift, I keep telling them we have a lot of customers who are curious about the tastes of certain Whiskies! *hic*

    I’ll just carry on testing my carling. For some reason I’m not quite sure. Which means I may have to have another. mind you at £3.70 a pint I best savour them. If anyone comes to Bolton bring your platinum card. ?

    £3.70 is but a mere pipe dream in the south west man, I pay about £4.50 for something shit anywhere other than weatherspoons, but you would catch me with a carling lol San Miguel is the one man

    I just got back from the pub myself.. This bastard made me leave early

    Agreed – Carling tastes and looks like an elderly diabetic has pissed in a glass. If I’m at the pub and skint the choice is usually Carling, Fosters and Carlsberg and I’ll pick Fosters and even that is barely drinkable although sometimes they have them on for £2 a pint but it’s normally around £2.90 around here. If I have the dollar to splash I’ll get a Perioni which costs around £4.50 or Tuborg if they have it on tap, only really see it in Spoons though.

    Haha wouldn’t surprise me, if we had whiskers on taste testing you’d still get the chancers around here coming in for a free sample 😛

    Hope my beer and the bitches comment didn’t cause any offence – I was actually referencing Little Nicky but I don’t think anyone got it 😀
