The Degen Thread

[action man]

lol i used to be a complete fruity degen. My best mates 18th we met at the local at like 8pm, few beers and then onto town. I proceed to put £100 (all my roll) into a £15 jackpot bandit, nip £50 put £30 of it in, the taxi arrives, i decide to wait till the bandit paiiiiiiiiiiiiiis me and get my own cab, figuring this would be better equity. Sure didnt do it all in and walk home. DIE BATTLE AXE £15JP although this machine is/was pretty special.

Battle Axe! Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Lol

Best fruity ever was Pie Factory, I still do this day dont know how I was the only one in my local that realised that the higher the feature and cash trails started, showed exactly how close it was to jackpot and progressively got higher and higher. I used it as a bank for literally 6 months just nipping on whenever I saw someone get a good start and then walk away.

Comedy degen story of me and my pool father Mr Rawson at the 3 man team golden cue comp in yarmouth. After being knocked out in the first round at 9am (standard) we were just about to go back to bed when Awesome Rawson muttered the words 'i wonder how much you would have to put in that £250 fruity to win the jackpot?'

15 pints of Guinness, 2 meals and about 10 hours later Rawson decided to take the top feature! I went nuts and it only paid £120.
Got more beers in to make things better.
Matt and his mate aron returned from town and were in fits of laughter that we were still playing the fruit machine.
We even had our own crowd ooooooing and ahhhhhing every time we gambled an 11 for the jackpot and the predictable 12 came in.
We battled on and I can barely remember the end of the story.

Needless to say I woke up in bed with a lot of beanie rounders, a headache, a half eaten pizza and a desire to play the fruit machine again!

On a side note Trigg, saw Bloc Party on Wednesday night. Is it just me or are they now the greatest with that extra bit of confidence and stage presence over a year or so a go.

did the exact same on pie factory mate.  I loved that bandit that much i decided to buy it, its in my dads garage.

A picture paints a bag of words

Pretty degen that I recognise Pete on shift in the background and I haven't seen him or lived in Notts for like 2 years.

Matt - you look kinda slim in that shirt, wtf![/b]

Stripes do that ya know.

Hardly degen though when you win? Surely that's just shrewd.

Not as fetching as the white one so 6 / 10

this thread will make BoB ill have my life on it. wait till penly/dubai/hawkins get on here.

[StuartHopkin]

Im almost inspired enough to ask for staking.

All I want is one buy in at 200/400 Omaha Hi/Lo

Need some sick Dubai stories for sure.

Putting your life on it is a pretty degen thing to say and in tone with the thread. Well done Trigg - keep up the good work.

I seriously think we should have some sort of staking for one of the blonde sickos like Dubai to give $16k a bash at $200/400 PLO and see if we can have a spin.

Or just get Tighty to pick one of the random lower league matches that he knows loads about and lump on?

[sledge13]

Barcrest were the nuts at bandits, King Kebab been one, aswell as greats like The Spice Is Right, The Codfather (complete with moving fish on top lol!), Temple Of Treasure and more...

whilst in benidorm aged 16 on 1st lads holiday, i got stung on the "find the pea" game after some woman who was running super hot advised me to go for the middle one, sick thing is i didnt notice it was a sting, she appologised for her error, and i proceeded to let her pick me 3 more losers before i finally got the message, then obv i go for one of the other 2 and lose the flip for my case money.
