Getting Barred

Have any of you been kicked out of a pub/club/arcade for winning too much?
It happened to me in a pub AGAIN yesterday!

Stupid drinkers jelous because you know how to play a machine and win then they tell the manager.

Body language and attitude is the key my friend.

Has happened to all of us on one occasion, usually starts with the odd frown from barr staff followed by loud mouth regulars shouting across the bar "hes dropped the jackpot".

Try being a little more discrete. Be friendly with staff and be disciplined.

Maybe necessary to have a game of pool and a pint on your initial visit then go back to hit machines on a busy night.

Most people will give you the same advice and it works for some but others just seem to stick out like a sore thumb.

Perhaps you need a make over?

i always have a pint and a game of pool first, maybe i was just unlucky this time! mind you a girl i knew who was a regular drinker in there, she probably grassed me up. (never liked her anyway)

Your obviously going about things in the wrong manner.

Agreed mate having played regularly in many different locations locally and otherwise i have never had myself barred from a pub, and although i don't tend to frequent arcades, i think its just a question of how you present yourself (or maybe being a 6' 4 skinhead helps!).
