Pathetic

[kidgloves]

Can you believe this ?
I got barred from playing a cabin fever today in a bookies because some annoying halfwit gave a very loud running commentary whilst I was 'skilling' up the features.
"How are you doing that?"
"I've never seen it do that before"
The manager takes notice and comes and watches, I've just had £35 from a Mega Streak and SSS has been setup.
The SSS comes back after my fucking around board for a flat £25.
Next board I'm into value extraction mode and I get 3 lo's to try skill method and blag a red hi's and lo's for a tenner.
I collect the cash, manager offers to change up at desk, and tells me I'm welcome to play the roulette all I like but not the fruit machine as he's never seen such an unusal playing style.

TWAT

I try and explain but mentally give up after my first sentence. I'm even in there straight from work so I've got my fucking suit on, no chav scum apparel modelling going on here.

Why are some people so fucking ignorant?

Its a method not a scam, but I can see why he said it to you mate, but a bit more justification from him and you probably could have argued you case more. Where is it?? Send someone else in ??

Very good point about him probably wanting to play it himself.

He has no right to tell you not to play the machine again. What kind of attitude does that put across. He may as well have said "Come in by all means, but only if your are losing money, we don't want winners."

I'd certainly take my business elsewhere- that's unbelievable.

I had this in a bookies once. I had put £50 into a Golden Dragon for a bank of £45, with the streak still to come. I could see the bloke behind the desk watching me like fuck, so anticipating grief I slammed as many credits in as I could to give me a chance if I got the 'make those your last credits' treatment.

2 minutes later and down £20 by now the guy came over and told me he was turning the machine off as I was winning too much!

What do they do if someone wins money on a horse-race? Turn the fucking horses off?

Fucking miserable ****s.



I remember a couple of Xmas ago my brother placed a £46 accumulator on the day's football matches at the local independent Bookmakers round the corner from my Mum's house. Amazingly all of his choices won (thanks to 2 late Liverpool goals against Charlton) and he scooped about £1400.

The next day he went in to claim his cash and the bloke must have been dreading him turning up all day. His face slumped as soon as he laid eyes on him. After scratching his head and stuttering for a few moments the bloke admitted that he didn't have enough money to pay him out, and could he come back tomorrow?

Like fuck. My brother's response was quite amusing but very true -

"When I came in yesterday I didn't say 'I'd like to place a £46 bet but I haven't got any money, so I'll come in and give it to you tomorrow instead' did I?

No I didn't, because you'd have told me to fuck right off."

(By now there's a queue forming behind my brother)

"I can't wait until tomorrow because I'm driving back down south later, and I won't be back until Easter, so I'll have the money now thanks!"


Bookie - "How about if you come back in a couple of hours then, because if I pay you I won't be able to pay anyone else?"

Brother - "No, how about you pay me now straight away, like I paid you straight away yesterday? I don't give a fuck about the people behind me..."


So the bloke had to clean out the whole shop, right down to bags of silver. It was quite funny I can tell you, to see a Bookie reduced to that, and a few people in the queue were not best pleased.

Tough shit I say.

Dont bookies have some sort of "winners cheque" system like the casinos?

[jjh]

I don't know whether bookmakers are told to act like ****s are or what, but it's weird.

I only place bets on betfair now- so if I do lose the od bet, at least another punter is getting it rather than bookmakers.

I remember I went to a bookmakers in town and placed a double on two favourites- bookmakers hate these bets. Only £10 double bet. It came in and I collcted about £85, and then put £20 on another one- it came in and when I went to get my money -there was no thanks or eye contact, just slammed the money on the counter really arrogantly. Neber took my business there again- happy to take your money but not give it out- you'd think it was teir money or something. Tosspots working for buttons if you ask me.

Getting kicked out for winning is annoying. Especially in arcades!

I mean the purpose of a pub is not to make money off the fruits, so fair enough If im rinsing it on a regular basis if im asked to stop i would.

But Arcades? The whole point of arcades is....fruit machines? Surely?
