Was thinking about jacking them, now i know i am!
Went into the bookies this lucnh and a very nervy guy was playing roulette on the machine, must have spent more money than he could afford to tell his wife about because after he had lost he pissed himself and walked out shaking like a leaf.
LEAVE EM ALONE FOLKS!!!

If you have no control over your gambling then it's not just betting terminals you should leave alone, it's all forms of gambling.
There's not 1 particular type of betting that is fixed with the odds against you, in all gambling the odds are against you.
It's perfectly fine and enjoyable in moderation but you need to keep a leash on it.

And to be that fearful to wet yourself should be a warning to us all. |

It should be a warning to us all mate, you're right.
The majority keep it in moderation though and that's perfectly fine.
I've been betting for years and never let it get out of control.
Only bet what you can afford to lose - that's my motto.

If this is what you are on about then my mate is/was hooked on them and calls them "smack" machines, i once went into bet fred and somebody had left 20p credit on the one in there, i added some change to it and won a few quid and let it spin and it came in again, looked at the credit total and it was reading just over £100 so cashed in the ticket and walked, the bet i had that day was a Stoke/vale/crewe treble to win and guess who let me down, Clue; red and white stripes.   |

I love a bet and bet online with Poker etc. but the key is only bet what you can afford and set yourself a limit. Once you hit that limit regardless of how much youve won or lost just cash in a piss off. Once you start feeling that rush your three quarters of the way to be ing addicted and its a slow and painful rocky road to ruin.
Like drinking, all in moderation.
