Shark gets hammered again!! (not literally)

**jjh** · 9th November 2006, 07:01 PM

Been out all day yesterday at the races, after a good day we came back to a local pub.

There is a BFM's Battleships in there, which I think is a decent machine if full and ready to pay out a bit.

I'd had a bit too much to drink at this time

, went over after my round of beers and put a few £££ in to see what it was playing like. Anyways, next thing this shark- quite a big fella (doesn't know I've got a cracking left hook though lol

) starts blatantly sharking me!! He moved away from his friends and stood literally next to me watching what I won etc. I had quite a bit of change and had put about £12 in and thought I'll collect a £1 and then play this **** at his own game. So collected a £1 and like clockwork he throws his pound in within 3 seconds of me standing aside

This isn't like me but why should he stand and piss me off like that, so I stood next to him and just watched him like he did to me

. He wasn't happy but could hardly say anything. The machine wasn't playing too well and he lost around £10. He was out of change and about to move off but he didn't want me to win what he had put in- dose of his own medicine I was thinking, teach him a lesson not to be such an arrogant and rude shark!! So instead of moving away, he puts a £20 note into the machine!

So I steps back a bit, changled a few of my pound coins in my pocket- he was at boiling point

. Anyway, his £20 soon turns to £6 left to transfer, still nothing over £6 offered, he gets £5 in the super meter and collects. No repeat. He plays that winnings and nothing good offered. He collects the £6 left from his £20 note and then throws that in, most offered is £3 which he collects then puts back in! I was still there thinking I'm not giving in to you you shark, 'not nice is it hey mate?' I was tempted to say. Instead of walking he bungs a £10 note in and plays it through, collects an another £2.40 win out of this and then proceeds to lose that as well.

Out of money he then turns his back to the machine and leans on it with his pint, hoping I wouldn't have the courage to ask him to move...

No way was I giving in, maybe this will teach im in the future (although probably not I reckon). So I move up and say as politely as I can- "Excuse me mate, can I get through to the machine?" Without looking me in the eye he steps aside and best of all, he was too curious- he watched me play.

First board straight onto super feature, £12 cashpot which I go to collect- there was £6 red cash and he says take the cash because then you can play on on the feature! Tosser I'm thinking but pretend I haven't got a clue and just say £12 is enough for me, I don't play that often etc- took the £12, didn't repeat. £12 off £2 ain't bad, he doesn't like it, but I've still got another £20+ coins to play with. Play on next board I collected a £3 win and then collect a £6.50 cashpot followed by £3 off a turbo cash

All in all, I was only about £5 up lol but that wasn't the point, I'd played this shark at his own game, and saw him lose £30+ in the process

Fantastic end to the night I have to say

I've got a really busy day on the horses tomorrow mate- lot more money to be had on the horses

To be honest, I haven't been out to solely gamble on the fruit machines for a while- maybe coming up to a month or so...

Good luck if you go though- did you meet with Vivida recently, how did you get on in Liverpool that time?

Wasn't the Arrowe, some other local lol!!

Chav It is still there, along with a Battleships and that damn Coronation Street one

I know where two Throw a Wobblers are, although one is out way a bit and seeems to be covered by other people- never streaks like the other one. But they've probably all moved by now!

What's the bookies ones like Vivida? I could imagine it gets hammered quite consistantly.
