Bookies Roulette Machines.

i worked as a Manager at William Hill last year and i can tell you now that the figures are staggering. Bookies make around 85% of there profits on gaming machines.

The £2 limit on the gaming machines is gonna absolutely crease the high street bookies which for someone like me is a catastrophe. Nothing better than going the bookies and putting your bets on. The social banter and the Euphoria when you win a decent amount and get to go and collect your winnings is unrivaled with anything you can do online.

Nothing better?

I like a bet myself but that’s some statement. I can think of quite a few things that are better than popping in my local bookies to put a bet or two on. Going in to collect any winnings feels no different to seeing my winnings added to my online account either.

Have you tried out that thing called music? I ask because seeing a band or artist live pisses all over popping into the bookies to place bets. That’s just one of many, many things that piss all over popping into the bookies to place bets.

Good riddance to the fobt terminals.
 
If it saves people from their addiction fine but it does have its downsides. bookies will close and through no fault of their own people will lose their jobs. Addicts will go on line to play. No limits on what they lose on there.
 
I like to have a few quid in poker machines when in my local pub,but was never interested in the machines in the bookies,although like to do my football bets every Saturday along with my Irish lotto as well,but that’s about it have stopped doing horses about 2-3 years ago bar a bet on the derby or grand national,even Cheltenham this week hasn’t registered on my radar...
 
I went for a pint of Stella years ago on the way home from my YTS on payday
with the £29.50 burning a hole in my pocket.
The fruit machine caught my eye and 3 minutes later i was potless!
Stuck in the middle of town without a fucking carrot!
I had big plans for that money!

Bookies didn't do themselves any favours though. So the Gambling commission said no more than four machines per shop. So what did they do, open another one 50 yards away all to get another four machines in.

There were literally no one putting bets on in the shops, just four machines being battered with money from 8a.m- 9.30 p.m.

Always thought they had shops so close together due to the law being one machine per x amount of floor space. Fully agree that they're life ruining.
