I ask you this, what is the best way to combine work and machines? Do you work during the week and play at weekends or just do a couple of hours each day after work? Please can no full time pros reply or gloat. Thankyou.

Mon-fri 8 - 4 painting
Tue-5-10 football
Thur 5-10 football
Fri 4 -830.football
Sat 1030-1 football

Sunday always my big fresh route usualy a 12 hour shift.
But I often get half days here and there and go out for cuple locals. And I also have a girlfriend who would see me every second of my free time If it was possible. I do work a lot and I love it. Busy lad!

Times are hard. I do other things to make money now.
Everything always on its arse. Too many players, too little machines.
Went searching yesterday. Nothing decent turned up.
Found 1 mega with notey off, and lots of flashing exchange buttons and inbetween reds. And Juices either make you or break you. Loads of pubs have £5 JP or quizzes now. Another waste of a day. Pubs with decent stuff don't open till at least 4pm. Like you said Betch "if I can be arsed". The good 'ol days are gone.

Work takes up 60 to 70 hours per week so machines very part time . Do try and have a look at somerhing on the weekend. Normally speak to a fee people on here I know to try and find something worth playing. I tend to play stuff the pros don't , hit and miss really. Obviously play to win but for me its a bad habit and just something i do to de stress!

I work week days an go out weekends.my weekly outgoings are pretty low so if I cover those by playing(most weekends I do) then I don't have to touch my wages.I'll never give up working,this way I'm always garanteed some money,could spunk every penny I have tomorrow but payday will be just around the corner,no scraping around tryin to get a float together.

Just realised you can't with the hours you do. You must either do some sort of coaching, play footy yourself or ref games in indoor footy or something.

i work split shifts which are 7am til 11am and 5pm to 9pm. so gambling for me is generally 12.30pm til i go back work at 5. if we are quiet then they normally offer me the night off at the weekend as they know i will make more money gambling. i cant gamble all year round where i live as there just isn't enough players when its not school holidays.
