this fits in with my limited experience of the game anyway , i have never got the 3 keys but won a fiver with 2 x cash bag sets , 1 x £1 picked up on the trail and 2 x £1 from the bonus ' safe cracker ' game , sounds as if i should have enjoyed it as it may never happen again !

winning distance betting

this has been very popular for a while now in the bookies , but its so frustrating and the problem is that the attitude of an individual jockey makes all the difference - when riders ' drop their hands ' and lose a win or a place they get banned and or fined , however when they ease up and make a la...

People who watch strangers playing machines

i realise that this probably comes up in a lot of threads but i want to ask a few questions about it - WTF is it with people who stand at your shoulder watching you play? - i dont play AWP's or FOBT's but i do play AWP's in the pub and wont have people watching whether they are quiet or interferring...

always seems that a longshot makes the semi-finals and possibly beyond , the key of course is finding the right one! - i have backed Stuart Bingham outright and on the spreads , had me worried against Steve Davis but his part of the draw is as good as it gets , Murphy or Robertson in the Quarters is...

this is really sad , but i do have a tip for speeding up the gameplay! - when you opt for an answer you can tell by the page number that appears in the top left corner whether it is right or wrong , if you are wrong then you can find the right answer before it makes you go back to Q4 , 7 or 10 - obv...

cant see past Mckelvey , placed last year - currently 20/1 , hoping that if the favourite shortens up then the price on a few others should lengthen - people asking about odds should google ' odds comparison ' - there are lots of sites to compare and contrast bookies odds

Bamboozle

ok , a guilty pleasure / obsession but who elses plays this on Channel 4 teletext every day to set themselves up for playing the Quiz machines? - i must admit 12/12 is a rare event for me and 10 is usually a pretty decent score - for those who dont know what i am talking about , page 390 on C4 is a ...

Sheffield during the Snooker World Championships is chock full of players and pundits , Matthew Stevens with some hangers-on , John Virgo and of course Willie Thorne - if no-one else has read his rather thin autobiography from a few years ago then he details his gambling addiction at length and talk...

anywhere full of students - p*ssed up and not as clever as they think they are ( what a combination! ) - Sheffield SU is full of SWP's and its amazing how they are always good for a quick fiver on Bully or DOND - there are pubs in Barnsley where i spend most of my time entering my name on the leader...
