Right then. Here it is. A story that simply has to be told.
There will be a lot of grief towards me i would imagine, a few people telling me how stupid i am etc but i always said that when the loss came, and it was always when when i spoke about it and not if, i would post exactly what happened and what was going through my mind at the time.
Well, it has happened. In spectacular style because well, you know, it is me after all. Before you go booloo and start shouting this that and everything, make sure you are up to speed with the whole thread and please also appreciate what you see written here is the journey i have had on the game from December 28th up to January 17th.
The 20 day journey documented here, up until this point, had seen me profit in excess of £100,000 on Reel King by forcing out the top of the gamble ladder, on various stakes and at various levels of involvement (money in) – every session up until now had remarkably been a profit and it all added up to a staggering figure in such a short space of time. What needs to be appreciated at this point is that i have played this game, in the very same way as detailed here for the last 8 months with profits from that journey blasting well through the £400,000 mark, yes, really.
I’d said a few times through this thread that i was willing to give the game £40,000 back – that would be my limit for attempting to top the game in any given session – well it has been breached. I have spent £60,000 through the night, i say through the night, from around 1am onwards, i went to bed at 10am. My balance is £0. Whilst i have gone above my intended spend, in relation to the overall position i don’t feel i have gone mental – it is clearly a gargantuan loss and it stings like a bitch but when you put it in to the context that i was up well over £400,000 on the game, giving back £60,000 incredibly is not the worst thing in the world. What i found was my genuine limit and my talked about limit were two different things, i was comfortable up to £60,000 – when i hit that level, i stopped. I’m not broke, i won’t be on the streets, i haven’t gambled away my shopping money, i have stopped at a responsible point FOR ME – everyones responsible point is different, there are never more important words spoken than gamble within your means, i could have gone more but i didn’t want to, i drew the line there and it leaves the thread at a +£45,000 ish position before the car purchase.
That is still a remarkable figure but take note, with exceptionally deep pockets, i have come a cropper on the game, do not attempt to recreate anything you have seen me do in here, imagine your first session was this last session of mine, where does that leave you? Completely fucked.
So which casino was it at and what happened?
I started on Grosvenor at around 1 am and i deposited £1k but i was straight to £8 as i had had a few rums and fancied a sesh. That was soon eaten and i deposited £2k. Within this money i had a £4,900 ish gamble lose for the top of £9,800 ish, which was absolutely wounding as it would have been £6k up. Another 2k deposit and not much happened for that one and then i am on to the £5k deposits and up on £30 and £40 stake. When i was £15,000 in and with around £3k left in the balance, i got to £12,800 on the ladder – it lost, absolutely gutting again because that would have been a huge profit, the likes of which we have seen many times in this thread but it wasn’t to be this time. Let’s get this straight right here, the only reason i am in the position i am on this game is because i press these gambles all the way to the top, there was never a question in my head of collecting either of the positions one off the top, it just isn’t what i do.
Fast forward plenty of deposits and i am now £55k in – i finally get a top. I think it was £30k ish, i do have pictures and will add them at the end, pat attention to the times on them as that will give you some sort of idea of the gaps i experienced. The best position i manage to get back to is a balance of around £42k odd, i believe i was around £13k down and in hindsight, that would have been the walk point. As you have seen previously i have pushed on in this kind of position and turned losing positions in to winning ones many times. It just didn’t happen this time. I played with the balance for a fair few hours until eventually, it was £0 again. I reloaded what was to be my final £5k and i knew it was going to be because i had decided, we had decided (my wife and i) that that was enough.
From that final £5k i topped the ladder again for £25,600 and i thought oooh come on then back in the game, well no, it just prolonged the seemingly inevitable on this particular session, the bust out and true to my thoughts and our discussions, the laptop was put down and it was time for sleep.
On reflection, i am actually quite proud of myself that i put it down where i did, drew a line and left it alone because i could have carried on plenty more, that was enough though, it was seemingly an endless cycle of nearly moments and i was done.
What will happen now? Well, the thread will remain in its +£45,000 ish area, i will actually go and add up everything and get an actual amount when i can be arsed reading back and i will update amount of tops managed etc but i am still going to play it – i am going to be down on £1.60/£2/£3 for a long while now, i will give session a max of £2 – £3k and see what happens, see if i can build again like i have done in the past and i will post the progress in here as usual.
Here are the pictures from the session anyway and after reading this, i hope you understand that i don’t need a barrage of abuse, i could have just not posted about it couldn’t i or dumbed it down but no, i’m straight down the line and tell it how it is and this is how it was.
Cheers folks.
This was the first top i managed, bearing in mind i started playing it around 1am, it might have been 2am but certainly no later.
I fucked up here, i had had so many donks one off the top that i collected it one off to put me back within striking distance – the problem is, if i had just hit it, had it have won which it easily could have done, at that point it would actually have put me a couple of grand up, i regretted this collect for ages. The collect is the “last win” amount of £16k, the top was £32k and basically, i should have pressed it.
As you can see from the remaining balance, it took a hell of a lot of money back to get the next one and spew, of course it was a £32k one, the one i should have pressed for a shot at profit on the pic before
This is the final top, the one i got after the last reload – there was actually a shout to just walk with the balance after that one landed but i was just so far in at this point, there was always a chance of getting a quick double, the likes of which i have seen many times before, it just didn’t happen and this balance was played down to £0 and that was that.
I’m sorry if you are offended by this story but it was always going to be posted, if nothing else it serves as a very valuable warning to those that may have been thinking of trying something similar themselves, it shows you exactly what the game is capable of and ultimately, it probably summarises the thread as one hell of a lucky run that has just come to an end, as i said, please appreciate the thread and the history of the game for me as a whole before replying and respect the fact that i have published this.
Well done for stopping when you did, that could not have been at all easy to do.
I make it you’re still up about £40k on the game over 20days? That still an amazing success story.
I did wonder if you getting the 5 scrolls the other day had anything to do with it not “playing ball” for you last night but I think that was on a different casino site?
