It’s one thing i have never really bet on before – be interesting to see how they go on mate 😀

[The Bandit WANTED $5,391 El Bandito]

Good luck laddy, i am just looking now and will post all my bets in here soon 😀

Yeah it seems pretty unfair but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was some sort of rule to follow up on and then for them to decide from your answers what to do and some of them just don’t really want to take any risk whatsoever, there have been some big fines around lately and they are all just trying to avoid that sort of thing you would imagine.

It’s possible that they choose an amount to pay rather than a x stake win i dunno, like it’s decided i’m paying out a grand, if you are on 50p then you are getting 2000x, if you are on £2 then it’s a 500x win – it is also completely possible that that is horse shit haha

[The Bandit WANTED $5,391 El Bandito]

Wowwww haha that is bonkers, go on paddy lad!! Super win mate – 800x very first spin lol! You have to ask yourself, if that was on quid stake…. would it even have happened! Doubt it lol

I saw the picture mate and appreciate it’s only a bit of fun but i’l remove it just in case some are offended by it, i’m sure you will get me lol

You will see a raft of games that are made to get around these rules unfortunately. There will be roulette games that are £2 per spin and you will be able to lock in £20 for 10 spins on an autoplay or £100 for 50 spins etc and it will then show you a wheel where you “could” win £100 and then you will be able to take your “winnings” to a roulette wheel and hey presto, it’s just the same but technically £2 a go lol

Ok, i will try and give a brief, ha, i say brief, history of my gambling life. When i say i could write an awesome book – i mean it haha

 

At the age of 12 me and my mate used to go to the local pub as we were both pretty intelligent in school and they had a quiz night which you could win big money at and we fancied our chances. £1 to enter the jackpot round, 5 questions and you had to get them all right. Usually no one won and it was a rollover because the questions were silly hard.

Well one week, we got all 5 of them right but what is this sorcery, another team also managed the same so there had to be a tie breaker – a spoken tie breaker and first answer wins – “What is the capital of Somalia?” came the question and in stereo sound almost, we both answered “Mogadishu” ooOOOOoosh we won and pretty much there is where the gambling properly began. Prior to that i had played games in arcades on family holidays etc but nothing like that buzz haha

That very night i played the fruit machine in there, a £5 jackpot machine, i lost all the money in it and then every time the quiz was on, pretty much did the same thing, once or twice every 2 months i would maybe win a few quid but it was usually a “lose all my money” scenario lol

The years that followed saw me gamble on things that became available to me at certain ages, lottery and scratchcards at 16, the arcade over 18 area at 18 and then the casinos, i just used to spend all my money on gambling. I fucked up several jobs by stealing to fund my habit, i’d never pay my rent – i was moved out of my parental home at 16 to a bedsit, £38 a week it was and i even fucked that up because of the gambling.

Fast forward now to when my first son as born, still gambling but had made a lot of money from gambling in certain areas like matched betting, some trading, a twist on sports affiliation but again, had seen very big balances come and go down to simply a huge lack of discipline and an insatiable “must gamble all money” appetite but it was about to change, dramatically.

I went on holiday with the wife and the lad, 3 months old he is at this stage and it is 2010. I’m where i always am, in the arcade, in the over 18’s bit doing my bollocks in only this time, it was like robbery. I managed to put £650 in to a £70 jackpot machine without a jackpot and spent the rest of the holiday a bit miserable as we were down to the bare bones. When i got home, i decided to dig a bit to see if i could find out what had gone on there because that just isn’t right, was the machine broken? Anyway, my investigations led me to forums and led me to post asking about my experience, i was mocked quite a lot at first but then the private messages started to come, people offering to sell me the “method” for that specific machine, the price got lower and lower after having started at £1,500 until eventually, one lad offered it for free and emailed me it. The biggest light bulb moment of my life occurred right there – these machines can be learnt, their programs can be closely examined for holes, set ways of playing set machines can be discovered and bang i was away, looking at this that and everything and soon i was working out my own ways to play and i never looked back. I ended the first year of “knowledge” shall we call it having won £86k on pub fruit machines. I had fixed that area of my play, i no longer did all my money in, i payed smart and i took them to the cleaners and continue to do so to this very day. I lost £72,000 of that money i that first year in the bookies on roulette, i wrote every session down and read it after the 365th day and that cured me pretty much of that too.

I buy the fruit machines in to the house now to work on them and the way my brain is and the way i am means i absolutely pull the fucker apart and try this that and everything and i have worked out some very successful, very lucrative methods over the years that has enabled me to venture in to the trading of sporting events that i have mentioned from time to time where i can stake upwards of 6 figures if certain scenarios play out, in comparison to my trading, every slot stake i play is small. People often throw back to when i started and i was playing 40p and 60p and accuse me of having no money then and only being able to play big now because of affiliation – complete rubbish, back when i popped on the scene there were hardly any people playing, you had Nick on 60p, Kim on 10sek perhaps, it was just what was around at the time so that is where i pitched myself. It was going to take time to see whether a) people liked to watch what i did and b) the level at which they would like to see that – i’d gambled online before plenty but only on 2 games, Bruce Lee and Raging Rhino at various stakes but up to £9 odd a spin, the smaller stake at the beginning of the channel meant i could play all the other games and find out what was happening on them, whether they were any good etc and it hopefully wouldn’t cost the Earth.

Well, about 3 months in and a serious lack of wins, i was £24k down on my channel – a big expense that had started to take money away from other areas which i didn’t want to do, i was playing more because i was quite addicted to the positive comments from people, i loved that people loved the videos so i was doing loads of them but that hole had to be plugged, i had dabbled in affiliation before so knew there was the possibility so i joined Casumo affiliates and Bet Victor affiliates and it went from there with that. Once i started to earn a bit from them i turned to the giveaways and i dont care what anyone says, i genuinely started the giveaways to give something back to those that had chosen to support me, the thought ooOOoOoohh these giveaways will draw them all in hadn’t crossed my mind until some troll piped up with it so yeah, that was a bit annoying but no way was i going to let that take them away, people loved the fact i gave back and i give a fuck load back still to this day.

The evolution of the channel and the stakes is largely based on what happens across the scene, if people are raising their stakes, 60p becomes 80p, 80p becomes £1.20 and so on, you kind of have to go there or you’ll just get left behind and not watched anymore but for me, my stake raise came about because of a genuine hit – November 1st 2016, i raised to £1.80 stake for the first time on my channel – Game of Thrones i was playing and it rolled in a full screen of wilds bar 2 positions and both those position were Aces, it paid £3,726 and from that point, my stake never went below that again, the odd £1.50 if the options were £1.50 or £3 but that was the lowest then because when you hit on that stake, wow, you hit. My average stake isn’t really much above that £1.80 mark to this day, perhaps in the £2.50 area now.

There are loads of bits i have skipped or i would be here all day writing lol I have always gambled though, i am a gambler, it isn’t business to me. If affiliation was banned tomorrow, you would still see me, i’m not sure how many of the others would still be around though. I can think of a few.

Hi Bandit. Just wondered, what is the max amount of spins you’ve experienced on reel king without a top? Do you think it somehow keeps tracks of how many spins you’ve made so it gives you a top? Or is it completely random? If it’s random and not somehow cumulative it’s worrying. Maybe it keeps track? Also does it matter if you close the session and restart it, or disconnect etc. Do you think these things make any difference? Just wondering about your opinion on these things.

I have never really kept a count on spins tbh Jen because you can’t do it on auto it would be a pain to know really – i don’t think it keeps track of your personal individual play but i think there has to be some sort of correlation between wins your are taking out of the base and then losing in the gamble, filling the gamble up so to speak. I don’t think it matters about closing the session because quite a lot of time with my shit internet at the moment i get disconnected and then have to reconnect and at the reconnect point if i did have a value in the “last win” section then it disappears so is just the same as having left the game i think.

Right then so what happened after the video ended?

As you saw, i finished £8k down on the video – looks and sounds horrendous but if you are in this thread and have read it from the beginning you will now have the current context of my play. Since the start of this thread i have now breached £74,000 profit on this game, just here, in this thread. As such, i have clearly got a reserve tank on it now which i have previously stated i would hope to be a maximum exposure position of £40,000.

Well tonight i almost arrived at that figure for total deposits. At 18k in, Grosvenor called me but my phone didn’t ring for whatever reason and a voicemail was left, they wanted to talk to me about their responsible gaming tools and find out if i was ok etc – i kind of liked that tbh. They then followed that up with an email but as i was busy doing my dick in i didn’t reply. 20 minutes ish later when i was now a total of £23k in for the day, they forced a logout on me and locked my account – sent another email and wouldn’t let me continue without calling them and discussing the current session and whether it was comfortable for me to be playing like this – although it annoyed me at the time, as it stopped me in my tracks, it’s is fair play to them i guess. By this time i was on £40 stake and doing £5k deposits.

After talking to them and explaining i was fine etc my account was reopened and i plodded on. £5k more, £5k more and £5k more had me at £38,000 in and knocking on the door of my self imposed limit in my own head of £40,000. Had i have lost that figure, i would have taken the remaining £34,000 of profit from this crazy ride and taken the mrs out tomorrow and sorted her new car.

However, with £2k of the £38,000 left…. I got to the end of that naughty little golden road –

As you can see, pretty much £2k exactly left and a £25,600 top so still quite heavily down – I either take the loss at this point or i drop the stake and go for another one, well i can’t drop it too much so i go down to £30 – a few thousand pounds pass for not a lot but then smash…..

With the balance sat at £21,950 and on £30 stake, this heavenly glory road arrives and smashes through for the top…. that’s it, my heads rolled off and i’ve gone bonkers!

There have already been a couple of comments about the video that aren’t so nice but my opinion is, after me telling everyone where this thread is, what it is called and how to find it, anyone that has not read it, simply cannot comment – you need the context behind the play to appreciate and understand what i have strived for and achieved here. Once again though, just as i did last time i had a big big depositing session, my next go on this game will be right down on £1.60/£2 again so i can chill the fuck out.

Peace and Carrots fuckers

 

I’m out of here – bored to fuck with this guy continually showing how he consistently wins – he is to responsible gambling what Adolf Hitler was to world peace.   I know he has to ensure he gets his affiliate income, but consistently showing that he was down but by gambling big has made a profit does nothing to encourage people to show restraint, exactly the opposite.

How many stories of homelessness, attempted suicides and poverty caused by gambling excessively is it going to take for this guy to realise that what he is doing is irresponsible.

I know this post will get shit – the Bandit doesnt like criticism and gets very shirty with it and all of his groupies will be right on my arse – but fuck it, it had to be said.

You have got yourself all upset over this one eh Red, I tell it how it is and this is currently how it is in this area of my gaming. Just like how it was at the end of my last video, an £8,000 loss – you won’t find many putting that sort of thing out and if you think that was the best thing for my affiliate earnings then perhaps you are round and green.

No need to be so defensive at the end there, this sort of criticism i couldn’t care less about and generally around here, troll posts don’t really get much action. Enjoy your onward journey.

Hi folks was wondering how providers work with casinos , is it a nominal fee per game or a  percentage of games played like royalty to a band from media every time their record  or cd is played .    ( gave away my age there with the record bit lol ) anyone know ??

Inside my affiliate hub for Videoslots for example, there is a deduction for “Game Provider Fees” and it varies so i guess they are on some sort of revenue deal share from what the game makes. It can probably be both though, like some casinos may be given the choice to rent the game for a fixed monthly fee and keep everything it makes.

[The Bandit WANTED $5,391 El Bandito]

I’m really wanting to play mate but i have had no reply to my email asking them what i need to do to unlock my account – i had already signed up as the mrs too and they just locked that one as well lol

[The Bandit WANTED $5,391 El Bandito]

Videoslots is still a very good casino mate, probably the best out there, no one beats it for games you’d say and their rewards are pretty awesome too if you play a bit.

[The Bandit WANTED $5,391 El Bandito]

I thought it would be a decent point to provide a thread summary. I have some figures for what has been posted from the start so here goes –

 

Number of Tops achieved – 25

Other wins – 1 off the top collected for £9k to achieve a £4,850 profit.

Total wins – £202,152 approx

Total Staked – £123,146 approx

Profit/Loss – +£79,006 approx

Sessions – 13

Most expensive session – £38,000

Cheapest session – £88

I have written approx as it is always possible to miss something when adding something up through 43 pages but i am going to be very close with that if not spot on lol
