One of them days...

Yep, he definitely has a problem, lets look at the facts from his op, he gets up late for work and is running round trying to get his tools/stuff together, then realises he doesn`t have the address of the job he`s on, so stops off at the bookies for 20 mins after getting the address which makes him even later than he already is, but is he thinking of work or trying to make the lost time up? Nope, just trying to turn the £140 loss around!
Definite problem, imo of course.
Not good.

Really??

Nobody can say he's got a problem based on one day.

I didn't realise there were so many experts on here :rolleyes:
 
Good to see the judgemental nature of this forum has started strongly for the year.
 
I used to work in one of those gaming places and the amount of people who think nothing of dropping £100 in half an hour into a machine is crazy.


No one wins long term doing that.

Only the bookie. Like ive previously said those machines are worse then heroin. They should be banned imo.

Each machine costs £2k per year for a gambling licence and there's a limit of 4per shop and if they could have more they would.

60% of William hill's prrofit from these machines in 2013/14, I suspect it's even higher last year.

Staggering.
 
Gamblings the least of his issues, he's a Red Nose😃

Worse than Heroin Stu your funny.
Are the machines addictive then?because Heroin is.
And if they are would you say the people that play them have an addiction?maybe a gambling addiction?
 
I was expecting a mixture of, you jammy get, good on yer, maybe a few get off them machines. But jeez, instead of riding high, yous have me feeling depressed. Chill out fellas, else you'll have me running the bookies for a pick up....

Not everybody who plays those machines has an addiction to them.

I've seen some bad sights in bookmaker shops, and a yes there is a lot of people who are addicted to gambling on these machines and they have zero interest in gambling on racing,greyhounds etc.

You're still wrong to assume the OP has an addiction/gambling problem aas you did in post #8.

Look I made an assumption on what he posted and if I am wrong I apologies to the op maybe in hindsight I should have kept it to myself.
If you know him and you know he has not once again I apologies to him.

Of course I am not stupid enough to think everyone has an addiction who gambles on machines or horses as I previously mentioned the Grand National as an example.

If the op has not got a problem he can laugh it off and move on,if he has what he does is up to him absolutely no problem at all.

A debate between me and you wont do any good so can we drop it now and move on mate.
