Are fruit machine players chavs?

I noticed that 95% of fruit machine players are from a poverty stricken background mainly on the coast who earn a decent wage in their eyes, better than labouring.

I notice that in fields of clover, approximately 0.5% of the clovers are four leafed clovers as a pose to the standard three leaves that one would come to expect from a clover.
Typically four leaf clovers are deemed to bring luck and fortune to those who carry them.

Lol I'm a machine player and I couldn't be further from this stereotype, was brought up in a nice house, private school, good uni education (LSE + masters even), and I'm still in this game....
Just goes to show you it takes all sorts!
(For those interested I have done so called "decent jobs" and they bored me and I disliked the rigid structure/routines). Although that is not to say I won't be doing it at some point in the future though

Are all fruit machine players chavs?
I won't be agreeing to that I'm afraid.
And I also won't be being used to further your cause either.

As with ob and lee, I was bought up in a middleclass environment, parents have got a lush house, went to private school until I was 11, almost went to ob's exclusive private school from 11 but didn't get a scholarship by 1 place so went to local Grammar school, went to uni and studied Accounting & Finance where I discovered how to play ace/jpm machines...rest is history.
Also agreed with ob about jobs, that's the main deterrent for me as well, I think I'd have to run my own business to do anything remotely conventional.

Ditto with me, although younger than many of you on here, I have A levels, and could manage a shop/bar/resturant with the exp. that I have.
Mum and dad middle class, nothing even slightly 'chavvy' about me or my family...
You need to be smart to do what we do....many 'chavs' are not smart!!

The most money chavs ever make playing fruit machines is if they're hanging around next to them and they "borrow a pound" off you. This rarely works either

I'll confess to wearing a hoodie and trackies sometimes, does that make me a chav? :-(

I wear trackies all the time. Much more comfortable, large pockets, and if you spill something on them it's only a few hours until they dry, unlike jeans that you can't wear for an age or two
