My 500 Rowing session in services... dedicated to JG!

I was having a terrible day, well, it wasn't that terrible but it was frustrating...
I had just got £1000 in my account from some rare winnings I had from William Hill online (blackjack)... I had a key bet to chase that was on £330 so I went to it and was doing mental gambling within 30 minutes. Down to my last £100 I started to hit a few numbers for £9-13 but they were never consecutive so progress was slow... I was a couple of hundred down when I hit the pot which was up to £370 by then... Ended up £120 up. But the shop didn't have the cash! So I get sent to another Ladbrokes and collect there, only to get involved in another rowing session when I lost the lot... So I used that last £100 in my account and got to £900 and walked out very happy indeed... despite now being down on the day. Before anyone stupidly asks, I was using my bank card which is why the 1st shop didn't have the cash to pay me.
Now I decided to go to a certain service station on my way to somewhere quite far. I was up a few quid there from various random gambling, nothing really playable in there... then I decided to take on a Jackpot King at £300... this was scary as I was never up much and was playing Reel King Potty at the same time! After getting about £500 in I got the jackpot and the shields within £20 of each other and the machine auto collected as my credits and bank added up to more than £1000. Nothing was coming out and I even tried turning it on and off a couple of times but still nothing. Meanwhile, the rest of my money was mercilessly being sucked by Reel King Potty which didn't give me a single pot for about £600. If i had been able to get my cash I would have carried on.
Went back next morning and found the boss there who I showed my photos to and the details I had written down which he had seen matched. I asked him if he could pay me out anything as the machine was still off and perhaps if he could get it to pay I could just take my money and go. When he turned it on there was over £400 missing from the bank and about £150 in credits! Someone obviously knew something I don't and stole my cash! However, they did pay me in full - eventually. I got over half my money that day. I checked the Reel King Potty Pots and Gold and Bronze had gone pretty soon after I left it (judging by the value of the silver pot) so it looks like missing out on getting my cash cost me a fair bit.
Theoretically I lost nothing on the day but should have won a few hundred.
I apologise to anyone who has read this through and feels as cheated for reading it as I do for writing it! This is clearly JG's speciality, not mine!
