Diary of a compulsive gambler

[Dicko]

Roy, What sort of percentage are regularly winning punters? Are there any? I always assume some of the old boys I used to see in the bookies knew their stuff, but are many actually ''up'' over the long term? I mean if people like John McCririck (sp) have gone bust more than once is it actually possible to be a sensible, winning regular?


EDIT: In case it wasn't clear I was talking bout betting on the Horses and Dogs etc. not really machines btw, sorry

I thought part 8 was very sad.

Part of me though is thinking its set up and hes an actor etc.

No substitute for playing in a bookies. Spin 100 times and you'll get an idea of how pathetically rigged they are.

i'm not spinning 100 times in one of those
What's the RTP on the machines you play?

I have no idea how to play fruit machines or gamble apart from put on a correct score on Betfair. Im quite happy with this knowing the fact I cannot gamble all of my money.

Going to Vegas in April on a stag do and more likely to spend my money on kittens than machines...

Edit: Unless there is a machine that pays out kittens...

My friend...friendly advice...treat this like gambling and you won't come back broke, broken-hearted and used! It's a dangerous game whatever you dabble with in Vegas unless you know 'the house' has you by the knackers...
