    Hi all.

    First off this is all on me, I know it, we all know it. Nobody forced me to get into slots.

    I was bored, unemployed and watching random YouTube videos. I happened across a video of a 2p push machine “jackpot” …. A few clicks later i ended up at a slot bonus compilation video by someone called “the bandit” ..

     

    I had no time for slots then, I laughed at the numb nuts who spunked their wages on pay day: that will never be me, I thought. 2 years later I’m still watching, Rolla, bandit, craig, chipmonk, hypa, dazza, jimbo, just for fun. Bit of entertainment… I got myself a decent job, paid people back and more. But found myself restless. I always bet on the footy… Win some decent money here and there… But slotting? Never.

     

    Then the big win vids came. Still, even then I stayed strong : I saw jimbos DOA wild lines, the DHV ridiculolusness from pretty much everyone, chilli, craig’s accidental 7.50 elephants win… And more… I always stuck with the bandits vids throughout, I commented as well, dissing the instant dislikes on the videos 5 minutes after he posted his videos…

     

    I say all that so you all know I was there from near on the start, I may have just registered but that doesn’t mean I am new, I assure you I’m not, my YouTube name is my current forum name – feel free to check bandits older vids if you can.

     

    anyway to my tale of woe: bandit went on a hot streak.  Many other streamers did, that was no shock, but bandit? In my eyes he was the man of the people, and it be could do it? Why not me?

     

    Again, no blame, it’s on me. But that’s how I blew my Christmas money this year. I am in work so I can pay back what I stupidly  gambled and have luckily been able to borrow back. The sad part is I can’t say it won’t happen again, when you put it out there and make it seem possible, it becomes possible. That’s not the intent I know, but it’s the reality. Thanks for the content and the hundreds of hours of entertainment Bandit… But fuck you at the same time. Hope you understand that sentiment. x

    Hi mate

     

    Yeah i get you at the end there – nature of the beast though really i simply had to run good at some point didn’t i but saying that, if you think about it – it’s only ever a Reel King win that keeps me afloat! Wild Swarm also been great to me this year but aside from the bonkers Book of Dead Horse Head Dog Face stonking win there hasn’t been that many huge wins from other games haha

    How much have you blown mate, i hope it isn’t a ridiculously damaging figure, it’s just the bit that says you can’t say it won’t happen again that worries me a little bit, i’m not going to preach about Gamban, Gamstop and all that but they are there and available if you feel the need.

    I don’t think the bandit getting a big win should be any form of encouragement to anybody.

    Hes consuming hundreds of spins at high stakes, and the majority of the time does not recoup what he’s staked.

    About 10 days ago I had letsgiveitaspin live on my tv and within my £100 deposit I had 1 bonus which was kiwanos on fruit warp, 50p stake paid £1.50 insta bin, he had 7 bonuses on 3 different slots, that shit infuriates me, why can this guy playing at the same time on more volatile slots be hitting all these bonuses and I rip my deposit with one shitty bonus, don’t let what you see these people do convince you you can do it too, it’s just not the case

    Appreciate the reply bandit, no it wasn’t a ridiculous sum only 100 quid that I stupidly thought I might be able to double up to get someone special to me a bit of a better gift but then ended up losing it all! Whoops. I was only doing 60 p spins lol I think despite all the slot vids I’ve watched in the past I am just very naive! You know how it is when you have had a drink I think my brain goes on hiatus. I’ve self excluded from the site now so no cause for concern.

     

    I just wanna be clear I wasn’t blaming anyone for my stupid decisions I just needed a place to vent and I’ve been meaning to sign up here for a while anyway I thoroughly enjoy the vids purely from an entertainment standpoint. Think I’ll just stick to watching from now on and not trying to emulate (on a smaller scale obviously!)

    Lesson learned!

    People watch the streamers and forget how much they deposit or how many spins they play. Or in Bandits case they forget it’s (on average) a 5 hour session, starting at 1bag deposit and usually several more.

    Yes, streamers who post just big bonus wins to youtube don’t help. But if you did into there stream on other platforms, you’ll realise it’s not hit after hit.

    Off the top of my head, my big hits of 2018 are 8k on DHV, 4k on Fruit Warp, 6k on Bruce Lee, 4k on Victorious, several 4k on Video Poker, 4k on BTBA, 4k on Bonanza ad many 1k’s on BOD, DOA, Reactoonz etc

    I’m not a streamer and my play or outcomes have nothing to do with any streamer but I’ve hit those. And then….. and then… I’ve fooking lost them.

    Basically, normal players (non-streamers) do hit these big wins, in fact, more than the streamers, you or I just don’t see them. We just see streamers hit so assume they win everything. If that was the case the streamers (uk ones at least) would have been locked up for fraud a long time ago.

    Anyone can take a quick little browse through the big win section here on backinamo, it is absolutely chocked with monstrous wins from “normal” players as they’re branded lol some of the wins i could only dream of!

    It can be infuriating to see these streamers hit these huge wins then win nothing yourself but you have to remember a few things:

    1) YTer’s and Twitch gamblers get revenue from their channels, it may not be much but I bet it helps especially the more popular you are.

    2) Most are affiliated with online casinos so a lot of them get special treatment in terms of bonuses so they can promote the site

    I’m not saying all do, but most. With this set up it means they can play more. Sometimes it can be good to have deeper pockets as I’m sure you’ve seen Bandit lose 1k-2k playing then reloading and hitting big on reel kings to recoup the loss but obviously it can always go the other way too.

    In the end it all just comes down to luck I’ve spunked off close to £700 this month and just haven’t been lucky at all. Playing Poker this month I’ve built up a bank roll of $500 from a £100 deposit that I tried to take a shot with but ended up losing the majority of it in 2 buy ins getting massively unlucky KK on a 2 K A rainbow board, getting shoved on by AK for him to hit his A on the river and then AcAs on a Ad 9d 10s board to once again get shoved on once again on the flop against 9s 10d for him to 2 diamonds on the turn and river. The other £600 was on slots and mainly on Book of Dead when I did well over 800 spins at various stakes only to hit 2 bonuses that paid naff all, the only one that paid was when I had to lower the stake. It’s just the nature of the game as I had a session a few months back from a combination of Poker, BJ and Roulette where I managed to run up a bank roll of $3000 from a £100 deposit (Pokerstars converts to dollars on deposit).

    Whilst on the subject, does anyone have a good suggestion for a site that doesn’t have slots and is purely for betting? (Does one even exist out there?) I suddenly realized when I self excluded from sky Vegas that it (obviously) included skybet .

     

    I am very sensible with my footy bets (absolutely no risk of doing my balls on that) and I missed not being able to have my couple.of pound footy accy punt on a Saturday today. I know I can just nip into a betting shop but I quite like having the cash out option as well. Any ideas folks?

    I used to use givemebet, problem is they do have a casino but it ain’t got a wide range of slot providers, no real good ones that I wanted to play, that was my choice to prevent me spunking my acca winnings in the slots, prices were reasonable too

    I used to always spunk my footie winners on betfair back on the slots, I requested them to block all other parts of the site and just leave the sportsbetting/exchange and they did that for me .

     

    So yeah if you use betfair speak to them they should be able to sort it out fr you.
