So you succumb to your failings and you go into the bookies to play the slots (which you hate) and as ever end up on the Roulette.

After a decent session where you started with £400, went up to 900, down to 200 and finish off at £1300 you go to collect your winnings from the drug addled clown behind the counter who has been disappearing every 30 minutes to smoke a joint.

At this point he tells you he has to phone up for authority to pay.  I ask why and he tells me he thinks its about money laundering.   He then proceeds to tell the person on the end of the phone that I have won £1300, yes I have been there a while, no he doesn’t recognise me (well as he only appears to have worked there a couple of weeks no surprise), all in a loud voice in a relatively poor area.   Following the call he gets the money to pay me out (if anyone is interested I end up £1200 up 🙂

My questions are of course to any Bookmaker reading this:

Is there any need for your staff to announce in a loud voice in a crowded bookies that they are about to give someone £1300 in cash and then count it out slowly on the counter

What is the point in querying for money Laundering if you aren’t going to even ask for a name

Finally, why do these money laundering questions come up only when someone wins.   I watch a guy spunk £2k into the machine next to me and no one asked if he was a drug dealer.   It appears that the bookies are happy to take possible drug money but take exception if they actually have to give some of it back 🙂

A moot issue in any case I suppose, the FOBT roulette monkey will be off my back in 4 weeks, I don’t like slot, don’t do casinos and find online gambling tedious.

I’ll just enjoy the bandits videos and eat steak instead of pasta

The whole thing is and always has been a farce. Any excuse to keep your money, none to actually not look like hypocrites. Even on Casinomeister the general consensus is “if it’s the law, it’s the law” so as long as you are 100% right but the law doesn’t give a shit, you’re wrong.

I’ve just been royally fucked over by my car insurance. I suspect they have broken the law but they have broken moral ethics. Will I fight it ? I don’t have the energy. I might.

Fact : these companies don’t give a fuck if they destroy human life and the governing bodies are a poppy show for votes.

I’d love to say it’s an opinion but we see too much evidence for plausible deniability. — Did you make us shit tonnes of money trapped in an addiction that eventually killed you ? Oh dear. Anyway. Don’t forget : “When the fun stops…….

It’s not just bookies, it’s casinos, arcades, the regulator. They all get paid from lives being ruined on a daily basis, death for profits etc.

I mentioned to the ladsbroke employee on the phone when closing my casino account there that the girl at the counter gave me a fake £20. The employee was brain dead. It didn’t even register. It was no issue to them. Money laundering you say………….

LOL at that – the Gambling Commission – funded by taxes from the casinos – no conflict of interest there.

I wonder how many free meals and fun parties the head of the gambling commission has had funded by those he is supposed to be monitoring.

Does anyone know where the brown envelopes are kept – no sir but someone just left one in your top drawer 🙂

Why have your car I stance fucked you over Mr B?

[Mr Mr B WANTED $395 Blocked]

I had a prang a few weeks ago mate. My insurance was paid in full with 2 months remaining and I bought almost the same model car, only half the value and almost half the power. They refused to swap over and insure it unless I paid another (roughly) 25% ontop of the premium. That’s a 200% increase almost and to do it I literally had to hand over every penny I had barring £10 I have to keep me for the next 2 weeks. I told them, they took it.

Almost as good as their favourite trick.  I had an old car, BMW came round the corner and pranged it so my car was written off.    It wasnt worth much but I needed the money to buy another car.

Cheque arrived, minus excess, minus the insurance payments for the next 10 months up to the end of the year.  Trying to find a car for £25.04p is actually harder than you would think 🙂
