the reason the same advice / comments keep coming is that it's the only thing should be said to you.

You have a serious addition and should not be anywhere near a fruit machine.

If the individual is likely to keep on gambling after wining his fair share then looses... then he has only lost the money he has won..... If you never had the win to start with , then ur losing all ur own money

come on talk sense...

So what you're saying is, if you win £20 then lose it all you haven't really lost because you didn't have £20 to start with.

A nice way of thinking that makes you feel better when you lose. But come off it - you HAVE lost that £20. That money was yours - you could have saved it, bought another round with it, put it towards paying off your debt, bought a kebab on the way home, whatever...but it WAS your money and you HAVE lost it.

You need to walk away and get over your addiction as soon as you can. I wouldnt even start to try and find emptiers, keys etc - for a start its nowhere near as simple as it sounds - there arent emptiers for every machine, & if there are then they're hard/costly to get hold of, and no one knows how long they will last. You could also keep playing to increase your knowledge of when machines are ready or not ready, but I bet 9/10 of the serious players on here will tell you that you will still lose on some machines.

Might sound harsh, but if I were you I would seek help, and walk away. The worst thing you can do is get involved further.

You HAVE to quit mate otherwise you will never get anywhere in life!

Why do you play? Sounds like you know your gonna lose but still play? Do you just enjoy it? If so play the emulators or buy a machine to play on.

Its that feeling though. We will never get anywhere in life anyways.... Im on the same boat.. Petrol is now £1.08 a litre.. Unbeleivable..... If you think gambling is a rip off everything else has quickly caught up..

thats probably not very helpful, but dont give me abuse, im very very pissed.. and skint till this time next week.

Cool guys, thanks for all your comments...

I have been playing for the enjoyment for years, sometimes you need to make a bit of money and that can work too.

My biggest problem is playing when im in another state, thats when i lose money, Observation is never good when ur wrecked.

I should know better to stay away, but those god damn flashy lights catch my stoneer eyes everytime.

cheers again

peace out

Unfortunately many of us have a slight, or others more serious gambling issue.

Ok, i now, eventually have gained the knowledge, and contacts to consistantly profit from them. BUT what good is that, i have completely lost the value of money. Ohhh a cheap £105 top, or just emptied that 4 reel. Cool, il spend it within a day on shite anyway.

However in my mind the best thing for you is to quit. Yes i know it can be hard, i was once an addict spending EVERY penny i ever had. I pretty much gave it up from there..... for a while.

Keys and emptiers etc are for real, but TBH the chances of you coming across something to make you a lot of money is pretty slim.

Sure, everyone has to start somewhere, but this game aint half as glamorous as it seems

Where are the thousands i have made in the last month/months/year or 2? I have a car, had insurance, which is up now, a scooter from i was 16 (which was stolen) Thats all, if i was working ie doing things properly i reckon id be much happier/better off. And perhaps most importantly more social.

[Cardinal Sin]

So to sum up this thread, this chap wants to get out of debt, but cannae be arsed doing it the traditional way, so he's asking us the best way to commit theft?
