Great but better than I thought. I thought I had Columbia who are not even in it!

Baise-moi. J’ai une chance.

Well, I’m fucking hopeless with flags, but even I can see that I have the Aussies as one of my teams. Haven’t a fucking clue who the other one is.

Serious question, you’re always posting pictures of your winning slips. Do you win more money than you bet, on average? I mean do you turn a profit on it over the long term?

yes I start the season with about 250 quid in the pot and if I lose it I dont put any more in. I used to use the winnings to buy the new names of people. at present I have still 250 in the pot but have been up to 630 at times. Normally bet on a three team accy and of course SFC they are my biggest losers.

My dad used to work for Pirelli, so we’d go to the social club on Passfield Avenue as kids. I remember a roar go up by the fruity one evening from the two lads playing it, followed by the staccato clatter of coins.
Asked the barman how much the jackpot was. He laughed and said ā€œa hundred quid, but it will all be back in the machine before they go home.ā€

He was right. And that was a lot of money fifty years ago.

My ex MiL used to walk into the Langley Tavern or the British Legion in Blackfield and park herself in front of the fruit machine. Her husband would go to the bar and get drinks or change whilst she would feed the machine until they left. I dont think she ever left in profit.

First time I went to Las Vegas in the '70s I stayed in Circus Circus. In one of the rows of slots there was an old dear, must have been in her 80s, playing the one armed bandit in front of her, turning and playing the machine behind her. She was playing late at night but the next morning I came down for breakfast she was still there, playing the same two machines.

I think she was Michael Jackson’s mum, she was wearing a single leather glove. The rest of you are just amateurs. :lou_lol:

Isn’t the lighting one of the tricks used by the casinos, the punters literally don’t realise what the time is?

Well, shit hey. Aussies you say? We are 500/1 rank outsiders for a reason but in it to not win it is our motto. We are the SFC of International Football; our representation at a World Cup basically is like our Federation being Just Over Broke. If we miss out, fucked we are

I think my lost Welsh fiver is going to be the only participation I have in this World Cup. It’s estimated that over four thousand migrant workers died constructing the extra stadia (they had one to start with).

The ones that survive lived in fucking squalor. Probably worth its own thread.

Same. My interest in international tournaments has waned over the last 20 years anyway but this one doesn’t sit well with me.
