There's an old fella in Darlo, who literally spends all day, every day on these machines.

If you go into the bookies at 9am or 8pm you can guarantee he's in Ladbrokes, Hills or Betfred playing £2 per spin on roulette (for some reason I've never seen him in Coral)

Frightening to think how much he must lose per week.

Bit of a logical flaw in they don't need to lay bets to winning punters because they make money from machines....

A friend of mine started an anecdote the other day with "I had a nice result on an each way lucky 63 the other day..."

Not expecting him to be restricted any time soon.

Hey if you find enough good each way bets on one day it may not be the worst bet in the world... But i get your point.
