Obviously my situation is very different but as a student, I find/found myself needing to somehow maintain a positive cash flow without a job. Trying to maintain a paltry student loan and having to give up my job so I could manage the workload meant I was looking at slots as a way to make money rather than what I used to do as a form of light entertainment.
Obviously this wasn’t ever going to happen but when you’re desperate the thoughts of ‘what if’ far outweigh the sensible ‘not a chance’.
Just please always remember that the odds of you even quartering your deposit are highly unlikely, nevermind being able to use it as a money making method.
Thankfully I kicked it all on the head when I started looking at things sensibly, like a £10 deposit could feed me for almost a week, then adding up could fill my tank for a month etc. It was ridiculous but I never racked up any debt from it thank fuck ??
