It’s brave of you to tell some of your story and I can resonate with a lot of it. I have spunked a month’s wages on a Friday night/saturday in arcades playing the £500 machines when they had only just come out. Done the same with roulette in the bookies and then online. Of course, there are wins and I remember a few times when I have had a grand in cash just lying on my bed, taking photos of the winnings and sort of revelling in it but as you know we can never keep it. Simliar to what I do now with online casinos, getting the occasional big win and uploading them here. I won £10k on Book Of Dead last year but its all gone. I don’t know what the answer is because it is very hard to quit for people like us. I have been on the edge a few times but somehow managed to wait one more day and somehow I’ve managed to pull through but it does feel like it’s only a matter of time if we can’t stop completely.
21I’m sure near-misses used to be programmed but I think they are supposedly banned now. I also thought I heard someone say that on some machines there aren’t actually any bonus symbols on the reels, they only appear when the machine wants to give you a bonus or a tease
Watch the Louis Theroux documentary on Vegas gambling and try not to end up like the dude playing blackjack
That is an amazing hit. I won £2,800 once on £2 stake but £11k on 60p is completely mental. Hope you get paid, and if you do, try to realise that the chances of hitting that again are probably almost lottery winning odds!
Play some extra chilli on £1,£1.20, up to £2 stakes and get the price of the bonuses down so that you can come back and buy them cheaply with a low deposit
I don’t know if we want to lose but we certainly have trouble knowing when to stop, sometimes it’s impossible.
I use betvictor quite a lot and cash out through paypal. Usually I’m playing late at night/early hours and if I withdraw it will still be pending when I wake up but what I do is cancel it and then withdraw it again and it usually goes through within a couple of hours at most
The trouble is that we are all obsessed with landing bonuses. ‘Normal’ wins don’t seem to matter anymore. And it’s very disappointing when you spend ages chasing a bonus and then end up with sweet FA.
I was very relieved. Now I have to carry it around in my pocket until I can to the bank at the weekend!
I think if a machine wants to give you a big win it will, no matter how many spins you get. Lately I’ve been playing Extra chilli on slightly high stakes for me eg £1.60, £2.40, a couple of spins on £3 and £4 here and there, and when the bonus drops in just take the 8 spins everytime and have had some really decent features from it
Interesting reading! Should have stopped at £194 I guess but hindsight is a wonderful thing!
