"Professional Gamblers"

**crazyjimmy** · 10th January 2005, 01:34 PM

Had to laugh when doing the rounds yesterday and saw a sign up in a pub stating that "Professional gamblers will be asked to leave by the management"!!!!!!

Never seen anything like that before!!!!

lol how will they decide whos a pro?? if a munter player goes in an by chance hits it on a streak will he have his winnings taken??

Also even if a Pro comes in and makes a profit surely the machine still makes money so why do they care?

No not the one with Mel Gibson! I have seen a sign up for ages in a Bolton Pub which states ' These machines are for amusement only. Anyone who is a 'player', or who is seen as 'trying to streak the machine' will be asked to leave. The staff know what to watch for, you have been warned! Ha ha it never stopped me doing their previous barcrests etc. They have a couple of stinkers in at the moment (GGG et al) ao I would consider that sign temporarily redundant!!

OMG haha ive never seen any signs like that. Im in Notts/Derby and you don't really get bothered by 95% of the pubs/clubs

Do you both notice people are funny about in your area or just the one or two pubs.

There are 1 or 2 pubs on my list that are funny about winners, but I guess its cos they always have machines that are the best to play for some profit at least. The last few they had was PF, MW, R2R (!). Why is it pubs with dodgy (read big and thick) landlords always have the good machines??
