hahahaha  small world mate. I remember back in the day hitting machines between Whites and Nobles, especially when it first opened as there were loads of free giveaways. Me, you, Rimmer, Dennis, Pat, Paula, Mr James. Funny as fuck.  I remember going to barclays to get an overdraft of £100 to get me through to payday and walked out with a 7k loan!!!

Don’t really play southport casino anymore mate, i dont agree with self deal tournaments at a casino. Play cash up in Liverpool or Manchester quite a bit though.

Email me your number mate: [email protected]

You will have to come round for a catch up at some point mate.

Fucking hell.. have I just stumbled onto the set of This is your life!, its all getting very cryptic. Mr Road.. that’s a great name for a trucker haha

The Mrs just came upstairs with a book – i thought “fuck me Trevor Macdonalds changed a bit”. Turned out it was a list of jobs she wants doing today. Ive filed them in my shredder.

She will just return in a half hours time with another list Mr Road, you have a lot to learn young man. btw what age are you Andy?, I like to know peoples ages when chatting, i’m an old fucker at 44, I’m guessing the bandit to be at mid 30s judging by the ages of his wee boys.

Run for the hills while you still have the chance lad, you wont have the time to think about gambling as you will constantly be decorating your house every couple of week’s.

Yeah I recognise the drill, empty every toy out the box and then decide that they would rather chew the leg of the dining room table.

After my lab Lucy rang back to me with her indestructible kong frisbee she was limping and really bad. I’m not kidding when I say I was bricking it. She was about a year old. Took her straight to the vets who diagnosed her with hip dysplasia. X-ray treatment all the rest of it was going to cost a bomb. I didn’t believe them I took her for second opinion was told it was a sprain. Gave some anti inflammatory to put in her food. No running jumping light walks on flat surface for a week. Well needless to say thank fuck she fully recovered after a week and has been fine ever since. That was 18 months ago and without fail I’m out everyday with her. She’s loves that frisbee I tell ya.

I’ve heard people do this kind of thing before Haz, maybe a crushed paracetamol in the dogs food etc. I think most of us panic when our pet takes ill, they are an additional member of the family in my opinion. Bonnie is too old for frisbees these days, I still throw the ball for her but she looks at me like ” you fucking get it “

Fobt wrecked community’s, glad there going down… Sooner the better… Fuck them.

Absolutely wrecked people in Glasgow, I remember the weeks they 1st came in & a few months later they had took the spirit of gambling from everyone who touched them.

Ruined the riverboat casino, 1 of the busiest places in the UK at the time… These things have caused untold stories of misery, put familys in destitution. I have seen good friends absolutely ruined from Fobt and still don’t leave the house due to fear of going back… Truly fuck these Fobt.

Hopefully it will bring back a bit of the high street again, but I can see them trying every trick in the book to keep the wages coming.

Thanks for your contribution Stevie and as a Glaswegian myself I can resonate the damage these bastards have inflicted on our fine city. I can confidently predict that the people of London, Manchester, Cardiff etc.. will feel the exact same as us North of the border, Our city centres are filled with bookies who can’t move close enough to each other to open up branches with no other motive than that of planting their allocated 4 FOBts in the poorest working class areas, its simply depressing.

Tell you a quick story.. I don’t know if this still stands but a few years ago Ladbrokes managers were given some sort of annual bonus according to how much profit the shop had accumulated, I watched a fella I knew pretty well playing roulette on the FOBt, to say he was doing his bollocks in was an understatement, the guy was close to tears as he desperately tried to win his money back ( he was in for thousands ). Well things went from bad to worse for this poor fella when I just happened to glance at the counter to witness the manager snigger and laugh each time the poor fucker chased his money back, every time they laughed a losing number rolled in. I didn’t realise that the counter staff could see whether the spin was a winner or loser before the poor fucker who has risked his money sees it for himself. These heartless bastards gleefully laughed while witnessing a grown man piss his life down the toilet. I’m not happy about people losing their jobs in the bookmaking industry but the thoughts of that day are never far from my mind.

This was fucking years ago, If I am talking shite about the staff seeing the result before the punter then please tell me that i’m talking bollocks. It was that old roulette where the blonde bird told you what the number was, think it was the first software.

 

 

 

 

Hi Black… I have a good friend how works I a bookies at the gallowgate, it was totes when he worked there next to the car Market.. Another friend done £10,000 bag money in that machine and the manager was telling us the numbers by running behind the counter, before it stopped, believe me if he could have rigged it, the whole of Glasgow would have been rigging it in our favor lol No joking….

Most bookie managers gamble too, but the owners do have the right to make it a higher % if they want or squeeze the max out.. That’s headquarters not management choice. Think the minimum is 90% and that’s low..

In the 101 in hope St the old Ladbroke beside Central Station a young guy won over £21,000.the 1st year they came out.. The bookies now a very small shop. And that was the busiest bookies in the UK. It won awards every year. Reason I know is the 1st day of the Alcohol ban I was in that bookies playing Fruits and went to toilet, 2 homeless dudes in there drinking, Cops came in as I was leaving and I got lifted too ??? As I was a regular at the time in that bookies the manager new me & my lawyer got a written letter from her & proof of camera to avoid my Alcohol & breach of peace charge dropped ??? cost me about £600 ??? to get off a fine of about £200 hahahah ah but I would have stopped me getting my taxi licence too, fuckers.

I got plenty story’s of people ruining there life’s with these fobt in Glasgow, as I played everyday in fruits in city centre, for years.

My best friend at the time is now fucked up, can’t leave house because he can’t leave them alone. ?Has major problems now, that even I can’t help.

The thing is, the drug dealers all play them & it has caused the on going wars in the North because of money problems & as you know Glasgow it tough out there at times.

I’ve worked in the North for 20 years and seen the affects of these things, and how all the spare change is going to them instead of the kids and stuff. It’s absolutely ruined the community. Everywhere is dead now.

I say fuck the workers too, because they have other options to go to once the bookies close and the economy grows it creates jobs, these bookies drain it.. So fuck them.

If you notice all the old staff left years ago because of it & now they rely on young folk who don’t know any better. I know it’s not there faults, for working there, but we the people should not forget that they have choices. And we the people got this reduction in stakes, time to get back to gambling on True randomness like football etc.. Not fixed gambling odds machines or video races.

Gambling in Britain was always that way until Tony Blair changed it all.

Fruits where gaming machines not gambling machine.

Video gambling is not true randomness no matter what the mathamaticians say. And it was illegal for good reason.

I say its time to put these Gambling machines to bed. ?

Keep the gaming machines and be very aware of BTG and push gaming etc with there new volitile gaming machines.

Sorry for the long rant… ?

 

First of all mate that is a great post!. I’m from the Glasgow area myself so I am aware of the venues you have listed. I have been there and done that, seen many things that I should have learned from but didn’t. Most of the users on the forum have probably never heard of the “Gallowgate”,  to those who haven’t it is a working class area of Glasgow who are amongst the “down to earth”, nicest people you will meet. I remember pre FOBt days where men used to go to the pub and have a wee lucky 15 or placepot on the horses. The atmosphere seemed to change when the terminals were installed, it seemed that everybody was collecting money from them in their first year, on reflection I do not think this was coincidence, I for one became addicted. The “betting shop” used to be a place where men would chew the fat and have the occasional flutter, they are now a cancer within our society. I will move on as this is the bandits forum and I don’t want to bring the mood down.

I enjoyed your post Steve, it made interesting reading. I remember when Labour were proclaiming that we were going to build “supercasinos” and that Blackpool was going to be the vegas of the North. Unfortunately the government were full of shit and left Blackpool hanging dry leaving the Lancaster councils out of pocket with the failed promise of Blackpools rejuvenation. Instead they flooded the UK with FOBts ignorant of the fact of the damage that they would ultimately cause. Sorry, didn’t realise I started ranting again in second paragraph.

 

Take Care Mate.

A tiny bit of history : When the PDSA was set up, the less generous qualified vets tried to f*ck it up and close it down. 100 years ago.

I’m starting to class vets in the same category as lawyers and estate agents, you just automatically accept that what they say is the truth and that you should heed their advice. Vets know that your going to find the dough somehow, even if it put’s you up shit creek.

I really cant get over the fact that someone compared The Bandit and Reel King to the leader of the Third Reich. Its nuts how some peoples minds work.

I have never heard The Bandit ever say “if you are on a loosing session, try and top Reel King”, in fact his advice is the opposite and he constantly tells people “only spend what you can afford to lose” or “consider any money you deposit gone before you start”. Cant really get much better advice than that.

You will always find the haters in life. You can gaurantee that if you did a giveaway where you gave people £10,000 in £50 notes, someone would be a dick and ask for £20’s just to get the attention and start a bit of back lash. When you read through this thread, most people on it are genuine and interested in how the Reel King journey is progressing; keep it up mate and get that second house!

There are some topics on the board that I dont get involved with because I either don’t understand it or dont agree/want to get involved. Need to now go through my history books and think of dictators to compare the thread starters to ?

Can I be Kim Yong un please! he’s a wee fat guy like me but he’s considered a sex symbol.

@Blacko – thats just fucking killed me mate. Nearly choked on my vape! Yes of course you can mate, you  are now KYU hahaha

That’s made my night fella, I can now have 5 nagging fucking women instead of just the one. Thanks very fucking much Pal. stick yer dictatorships up yer arse haha
