Why is it when some people post different views about a video, they get random abuse from members of the forum?  It’s a like a weird cult.

We all like the Bandit, that’s why we’re all here, but calling someone a wanker etc for having a different view on a certain video is moronic.  You have every right to disagree with his view, but grow up a bit.

The thing that always gets me about these type of complaints is, people continue to watch even though they say ” the last few videos I haven’t liked cos of this blah blah blah ” If I don’t like something on the tv well guess what, I no longer watch.

Secondly, despite the fact that The Bandit constantly refers to being careful and advocates using Gamstop etc, he is still under no obligation whatsoever to mollycoddle people who can’t control themselves.

People trying to hold anyone other than themselves accountable for gambling losses are total knobheads and just in denial of their own issues.

I’ll call anyone a wanker if I wish to do so. As the OP has a right to have their say, I’ve got a right to have mine.

I can’t stand people who blame their actions on other people. People like that are fucking lowlife wankers, you’re responsible for your own actions. Can these cunts watch a film like “Friday the 13th” and refrain from going out and murdering a bunch of teenagers? I’m sure they can. So they can choose how much they fucking gamble too.

I’m not going to go as far as name calling but these posts do get annoying after The Bandit has already explained countless times he is playing within his means and with the profit he has won from previous sessions.

You say you are an addicted gambler but you have it under control now well thats great and I’m happy for you but you need to realise that you are comparing yourself to The Bandit when making these claims but the difference is when you was at your worst and doing your bollocks in you would have been gambling with everything you had no doubt  (assumption but most compulsive gamblers do) where as The Bandit can afford to play these stakes and even if things go tits up he can still live comfortably as its from a pot of money won.

Being 100k down is crazy to me. If anything the large stakes videos have made me want to stop gambling. I get annoyed if I go £10 down. To be 100k down is borderline unfathomable. That’s 4 years of me working my arse off to get to. Therein lies the problem. When Bandit’s 60, 70, 100k down, I can see why people get frustrated when he’s dinging Reel King risking a lot of money for potentially no payoff.

When I used to watch WWE and they’d always say ‘don’t try this at home’, what’s the first thing I did when I got round my mates? Swanton bombs off his sofa and Stone Cold Stunnering him haha. People will try to emulate what they can see and the best way to avoid it is it not watch the videos.

In a gambling forum where the main gambler does videos, I don’t see why there is this massive stigma about discussing the negatives as well as the positives of high stakes sessions.

In conclusion, I agree with some points the original poster has made but ultimately it comes down to the individuals choice. If you gamble too much, just do what I’ve done and self-exclude.

Exactly why watch if you know what’s coming then moan about it here.

Some people just here to complain and receive the freebies I guess. OP I hate to say it but GTFO

[Biohazard WANTED $675 Outlaw]

Let’s cut the abuse guys. Completely agree with @MoonHook on this one.

Disagree with the OP? Then articulate why, in a civil way. Debate it. Sick of hearing comments like these made? Ignore it.

We shouldn’t abuse someone, particularly a current or ex viewer, because they have a different view.

Me? I think a large portion of the responsibility sits with the player, and they need to be held accountable for their own actions. But just because this view will differ from the OP’s, doesn’t mean I’m going to go out abusing them.

[Tricky0212 WANTED $82 Outlaw]

“Responsible” is subjective not objective.

Some people will just never understand that as they are blinded by figures.

…just to add to this topic, as I can’t edit my post:

When factored in with your affiliate system, you are either a hypocrite or abusing the gambling addiction of others.

I don’t agree with this, as Bandit has been quite clear that he has only used funds profited from Reel King or Wild Swarm since starting this way of playing. Not affiliate funds, to be exact.

I find it pretty amusing how everyone goes into attack mode when someone doesn’t like or posts a negative thread about Bandits content, but I guess that’s what happens when you turn off the comments on YouTube and create a nice cushy echo chamber for yourself.

[st stevenkelly33 WANTED $23 Blocked]

I agree with this somewhat. It’s about the perception Bandit gives if you chase it hard enough you’ll get back what you put in. The first high stakes RK video from a few weeks ago was probably the most exciting slots video I’ve ever seen. If that was a one off occasion I wouldn’t of replied to this thread. This new video where he is over a 100 thousand in then pulls it back like the last time gives the impression just to keep going and you’ll eventually get a few tops. For me personally I’m ashamed to say it but I spanked my last £200 in my bank on RK on 40p stakes chasing a few tops today after watching the recent upload. That’s on me because I should of known better, but if I didn’t watch the video earlier, I’d of ended up washing the car or cutting the grass with the good weather today. Instead I’m trying to do a Bandit and ended up leaving myself skint for the foreseeable future. I know it sounds bad saying it, but part of me wants to see Bandit upload a video or two showing some major losses to show the reality of slots to ordinary guys like me.

Good post Steven, i especially agree with the last paragraph. It might make for a “boring” video but it would also ram home what happens when you do chase tops.

The swings and comebacks for wins make for great viewing but they are also an uncommon reality for the majority. Like it or not the perception that you can chase until you win is most definitely a thing, just depends how you want to go.

He’s had big losses on Reel King before, he used to update a thread on the forum showing tops and major losses and he’s had a few, he just started again playing on lower stakes until he could rebuild his pot although he stopped that thread as he started getting grief from a minority, the majority enjoyed the ride.

It’s a gamble at the end of the day, I’m sure The Bandit realises every time he deposits that he has a chance to lose just like everyone else. What gets my goat is people saying that he might influence someone to play recklessly and lose the entire contents of their bank account. I’m not being funny but you need to be an adult to gamble if you are so easily influenced then perhaps you shouldn’t turn the TV on in the evening for fear of gambling adverts or perhaps just stay off the internet altogether because there is plenty of gambling material on YT/Twitch, he’s a YT entertainer not a kindergarten teacher who needs to hold your hand and make sure you don’t do your bollocks in that’s for you to do if you have a problem, make sure you have the relevant blocks in place, he warns people plenty there’s not much more he can do short of not sharing any footage at all.  if anything these video’s should put you off trying and if they don’t then you can only blame yourself if you watched that last video and tried it anyway and lost. Sure, he made a recovery this time but he also showed you how fast and easily you can lose money playing the game; do you actually need to see a video of him not recovering to show the dangers of doing this gamble? It was clear for me to see at least.

No one in the right mind would put a grand on a single slot without knowing they can comfortably afford it, never mind 100k. We know bandit can afford it, he showed us how much he was up this past month alone. He promotes responsible gambling, hes done full videos on it before now. My point is, bandit is playing to HIS limits, and streaming it for our entertainment. Whether his limits are 100k or a tenner hes sticking to them. He always says to others not to copy him and it’s not as easy to get a top.

I’m waffling so I’m going to stop but as a gambler who (let’s say) had to calm down on the spending, I find his videos help me. It doesn’t make me not want to gamble, but it makes me not want to gamble higher stakes.

Totally agree winningbird as a gambler also, his videos have helped me I don’t think any sane person would look at his reel king videos and think they can replicate what he does.
