Gracii Guns Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I used to be a receptionist at Gala Bingo. One old man would slip me toffees over the counter. I'd stay late at night to accommodate a couple who had been banned from other branches. There was a pair of sisters who would turn up every Saturday without fail. It was quite obvious that they lived together, but they still seemed unusually close. I don't remember them leaving each other's side. Once I was in A&E and they were both there too, they recognised me and said hello. They then both went to see the nurse as a pair. It was a great job to have as a student. The hours were long, so I'd take home over £100 in a weekend, my main responsibility was signing people up to the Gala Bingo empire, smiling lots and just looking generally alert when the customers came down for their cig break halfway through a game. When the game was in play, I was left on my own, so got through lots of reading. They looked after me- the company would always pay for a taxi home at night time, and I got a great discount on food. That's all I can contribute to this thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to leave site for my lunch as they were all descending on the place. All I remember of it is one guy with a really bad comb over and a nagging feeling that most of my taxes were getting pissed up the wall not a hundred yards from where I was earning them.

Most bingo clubs do offer free games midweek, so I'd assume those who were really hard up would go then. But it is very much a pastime of the working classes, with the odd tweed-wearing posher sorts. One couple were going on a holiday to London, and asked me to locate a branch which they could frequent while in one of the world's most culturally interesting cities. "Near Westminster?" they hoped. "The nearest I can do for you is Enfield, love". I've never actually played bingo, but it seems like a very good value way to spend a few hours. Cheep food and booze, having a nice comfy sit down with your mates, and the occasional cash win which you won't have to declare at the Job Centre.

Len Cnut Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Wish i could win a few quid now, got my heart proper set on getting a Rolex Submariner. I had a run in 2011/12 betting on the football where i couldn't stop making money. I must've reached a couple three grand about 10 times...most i ever made was 15,000 til i spunked the lot on City vs West Brom n lost, bright boy that i am. I want that fuckin' Submariner though. I could just save up for a few months but fuck that, i want it NOW! Got my Macbook and my Breitling off of gambling Edited April 10, 2017 by Len Cnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciation of craftsmanship and heritage and all that y'know? I've already got a Breitling, thats on a par with Rolex. I'm the same with posh clothes. A more cynical observer might call it the curse of the working class, aspirational mentality, thinking clothes and watches make you someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pistols had this thing called talent though Also, dunno where this idea came from that they were anti-making-some-dough but its certainly not something anyone in the band ever espoused, quite the opposite actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Judging by my Fantasy football history I should not gamble. I almost always double guess, over think it and captain a player who gets sent off or injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnold layne Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I used to gamble quite frequently but decided to drop 2k in the stock market instead. It's always going up and down, I can enjoy it from my Lay-Z Boy, and store bought beer is cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko12345 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Can anyone explain the appeal of basketball please. How is it possible for a team to be winning by 10 points end up losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucking it on single bets was what got me up to 15,000 I tell ya when it was, it was when we sold Van Persie to United and he was scoring for fun, that whole season i was sticking large amounts on different Real, Barca, United and City games and i fuckin' couldn't lose...until i lost Got a lot of shopping done that season, fuckin' macbook and phone and all sorts of fuckin' different pairs of trainers and a crackin' watch and some nice clothes.

I did the same thing on a much smaller scale. I noticed I had about 3 quid in my ladbrokes account. I just put it on a few teams who were already 2-0 up and won about 25p. But then i thought if I just keep doing that constantly and chipping away betting on things like Celtic to win and keep the mindset that it doesn't really matter how much it returns just very slowly going up. Because it's possible to bet on anything now online at any time of the day I was just putting loads and loads of bets on anything and everything volleyball, Mexican women's football, ice hockey just look at the odds and stick it on the dead cert favorite 1-25 shot chuck some accumulators in aswell. Within just over a week I'd turned the 3 quid into about £90 odd and it just goes up quicker £90 on to win a fiver and shit like that. Then i lost the fucking lot on a basketball game so I'm starting again now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
