Irrefutable is the word. Absolute is another. Facts, if they are facts, are not open to debate if they are 100% true.
1. The majority [ >66% ] of long term (over 10 years) gamblers are losers, overall. 2. All gambling is rigged for the house edge. This house edge pays : bookie/casino/government license & taxes/employees/costs/free drinks/hoover bags and all the profit associated with every company from the casino to the hoover bag maker.
3. Eventually for a gamble to be considered a real gamble, it has to be seen to pay, at some point.
4. Gambling changes lives.
—- in small ways, wins or losses, even breaking even, means you spent time gambling and that is a change from not.
—- sometimes, a person can win a huge amount of life changing money, buy a house, a yacht, a car, a motorbike. our great bandit and myself have done one or the other of the aforementioned purchases, because of gambling, no doubt, you may have too.
—- gambling can ruin lives, families, inflame domestic violence, cost jobs, lead to or assist heavy drinking or other addictions, end in self harm and or death.
5. The government and the companies/business heads who run the industry have an amazing invisible banner that leads many of us to believe “They do not rally care about us”. Not to be confused with the bs marketing ploy “When the fun stops, stop” or similar, like KYC etc. “You can see a mans face, but you can’t see his heart”.
6. Some people think the industry is fixed worse. That the rules are a mask for bs going on behind the scenes. That maybe 96% RTP is actually 46%, as a random example, but you get the picture.
7. Some people think the industry and government, would never do such a thing and is as honest as the day is long. Some of these people will not be happy that I have written this post, for example.
8. It is totally possible to have no faith and trust in the system yet have won a huge amount of money, gambling. This is sometimes because you have witnessed corruption in the system. There could be other reasons for the lack of faith.
9. Many gamblers can know all this yet still cannot stop themselves from having a flutter. A flutter can and often does lead to some level of tilt mode. That means, they try again and again.. and maybe again, and maybe lose bigtime or everything.Just to reiterate…. all I really wanna say is they don’t really care about us.
I agree with you on a lot of these points, alot of them are true. some knowledge and behaviours are circular and some linear though. also a fact isn’t science fiction or opinion but a fact ‘the the same as “irrefutable” a fact and is a theory based on science that can be later possibly proved to be incorrect though lack of suffiecent data at the time and other variables unknown of. see classical questions vs questions asked in quantum math as an example. i.e (is the question stupid to begin with?) However what you talk about; the way the whole system operates on stats that are a lie aren’t really true and it’s a rigged system I 100% agree with you I’m 37 and been gambling since 7 years old and the whole system is corrupt. what you mention about time spent doing it is time wasted is also true- The hidden value. I’ve spent about 500k on gambling, hestistant to add. If I had been more frugral that wud have been worth much more even by just not gambling in the first place. I hope you don’t think I’m being aguementative just a different perspective slighty. but in general I agree with your post 🙂
Found out today someone I knew had died back in Sept. only spent a day with her, 1st day we met. My life was too busy to put time aside to meet up. we chatted on social media around the 12th I found out she died on the 26th. I remember her cos she was fun intelligent and full of energy. she had her problems that she was battling and her are some of the posts she put up just before her passing that i thought were very insightful and would be good to share .
12Ermmmm……..
You can probably see about 5 games in that picture. I’m referring to you expertise before xmas while playing the guess the game on Xmas eve. Apologies if I have wrong person. ??
that game was good wasn’t it. they shud do some more like that I liked that game guess the slot picture 🙂
Ermmmm……..
It’s not quite Mr. B ?
nah not quite wud be good to get to that level well I enjoy it and practise makes perfect … eventually lol. I’ll have to look around at different drawing tools don’t have much time or access to pay for drawing tools but got lots of idea’s not quite turning out how i imagined them but like I said found it fun to do 🙂
smashing the screen of a FOBT may be wrong but so is empting the pockets of the addicted, one is legal the other isn’t but one is very immoral.
bloody scammers, I had a text message from Barclay’s sayin, “Your Low Balance Alert: Your current account is now £1.92 on account” oh wait a minute that wasn’t a scam ;P
1hi stuboy i feel your pain, been there many times in the past myself, hope it works out for you take care. As blacko said, “the addiction to gambling is always most prevalent when you are feeling at your lowest” never a truer word written.
hankventura- I too am waiting for a hive to explode at max think i must have spun about 2k into it at varying stakes, mostly at £6 and £4 some tenners and loads of at 60p and 80p. being playing it with profit and playing it since August. part of me wishes I just kept the winnings rather than playing swarm :/ hmm. I like you say £2 spins can turn sour pretty quick although playing it at £4 and £6 is what got me to the point I am with not hurting the balance to much £2 however raped me lol. well I hope when mine and your explode they both pay gl m8
can totally relate to this. I’ve had this exact same thing happen to me and seen it happen to others too. all in slightly different circumstances sometimes by friends sometimes by strangers. usually done deliberately to either make me lose so they can poach the machine or they get carried away in the moment of the gamble, with my money might I add, or thirdly they hope to make out they helped me get said prize or JP and can put claim to that prize.
However the most disgusting story I have is going back about 10years ago. I was struggling with lots of debt about 6 maxed credit cards, three overdrafts at their limits two loans and a sh*t income and living away from home. fudge knows how I survived those days winning at poker and being the luckiest f*cker alive on the fobts and anything else I touched for a 2/3 year period.
Anyway I just got paid and knew I’d be short of funds for all my bills as usual so decided the casino was the answer, but how to get there it was a good 30minute drive away. A so called friend said if I ever got the urge to go and needed somone to take him give him a bell, so I did. he said if he could have some money for driving me there, I said yeah like £40, (a taxi is only £50 by the way). when he rocks up to the meetin point he says, “hope you don’t mind mate, X wants to come along as well”. I said, “why would I care?”. “well X hasn’t got any money can you lend him £50 as well as the £200 you said you can lend me”. I said lets get there and see how things go.
We set off and get to the casino I play BJ the driver friend joins me we both get up about 2k each of my money. I ask my friend for the £200 back he says, ” by the end of the night don’t worry.” the other guy I have at some point in the night lent the £50 to after much herranging. the guy I lent the £50 to goes off to play roulette, he comes back when were at 2k each and tells us to much glee that’s he’s up to 10k. I look over at the roulette table not believing him, but the staff confirm its true and I can see all his chips against the rail. I say, ” can I have my £50 back now!” he say’s don’t worry about it later.
later never came they both lost all their money and wanted me to pay for the petrol and their food. life lesson learnt.
Been there over and over mate, many times I’ve had family members pull me out the s**t, but I never seem to learn. I’ve never used Gamban or anything as I’ve always wanted to change my ways and do it with my own will power yet always end up in the same place. I’m 50 this year, always earned good money but never had a bean to show for it. Guess what I’m trying to say is you’re certainly not alone and my advice is take it on the chin, don’t chase it and learn from it. You can’t beat them! Even this month I’ve done my full wage on Wild Swarm chasing a Maxed hive that just will not open after thousands of £1 spins! I’m actually waiting for payday so I can try again. Your turn …could you just walk away after ploughing so much money into it?

1Hi Bandit.
Was watching Craig slots latest video and there was a lot of chat in the comments in relation to corrupt streamers. There was chat that video slots have supplied you with a bank account to play with and it was caught on stream last year “video slots LTD” was your bank account that was shown and there was transactions from the payment provider. You then closed your account because if this. One you tuber claims he has proof of this but you have gagged him. Just to confirm, I am a big fan of yours. Can you clear up this nonsense please?
Not really sure what you want me to clear up tbh mate
Have i gagged someone? No, i couldn’t be arsed with the hassle and wouldn’t know where to start tbh
It says Videoslots LTD lots of times on my bank statement as that is what it says for a casino withdrawal when you have exceeded the initial 30k withdrawal limit for the month and have had to email for a manual bank payment. Is it supposed to be believed that Videoslots would let me use this same account to deposit at Casumo, Bet Victor, Paddy Power, Betfair and wherever else because it’s all done with the very same Barclays Basic Current Account….
Sometimes when i deposit at Videoslots, it says “VIDEOSLOTS EUR” on my bank statement, sometimes it says “VIDEOSLOTS.COM” and sometimes when i withdraw from Videoslots it says “VIDEOSLOTS EUR”, sometimes “VIDEOSLOTS LTD” and sometimes it is actually just a sort code and an account number with no reference to Videoslots at all, that is usually the trustly ones. I am sure other players at Videoslots can confirm what it says on their statements.
I’m done with proving shit tbh, the ones that need it proving to them never read the proof so it is ultimately pointless.
having deposited lots on videoslots the most out of all the online casino’s available I can say this true they use and have used lots of names when either taking from my account or paying into it. one of the names they used to not mentioned here was “panda media” or something like that. rollwithitruss’s question is interesting I also wondered why they did this.
1st time I played it one my third attempt at a £20 buy topped both multiplier and spins paid about £400. since then its been iffy to say the least had a £1 base land in gambled it to 23 spins and then to 2x frt just one more to 3x even thou i had a bad feeling about it and it donked. did a couple £200 buys as well lost three in a row and quickly ran away, recouped the losses on roulette.
some of the things that come out my mouth are…. well best not repeated lol. I’ve always said things when playing some very similar to what the bandit says have done so even b4 I knew the bandit existed. I think that’s partly why I enjoy his video because there is that relate-able element.
yeah this is what I was alluding to with my treading water for decades statement. It’s not so much the money in itself that one loses, but what that money represents; in how its used in other parts of you life and the time it took to earn it and the time it’ll take to replace it. this is time taken away from being with people you love and things you enjoy doing. you can’t get the years back once they have gone! remember that! but it they already have you can take in solace at least you have learnt from your mistakes along the way and put that to good use helping others 🙂
I can do one better, here’s me destroying a classic on my guitar, trying to do my best Shane MacGowan think I had to tone it down a bit half way through. You’ll notice the cough added in there for added effect ;)…laugh it up fuckers ?
