Right so here’s my view on the spinal tap video and please don’t hate on me
firstly, did I enjoy it, damn right I did and I actually burst out laughing at the fucking bollox cunt line, or words to that effect and it was good to hear the emotion in the bandits voice when he walked off after that £1500 11 wild line loss
however I can’t relate to the video due to the stakes involved, and when the bandit says “right go big or go home” when he is actually doing £750 spins, I sort of think “what the fuck”
If this was on you tube the pitchfork gang, as bandit calls them, would be out in force screaming that this is evidence of massive income and I do think, no offence bandit, that sometimes you have lost perception of money, when you said it’s only £90 I did sort of think “that’s a weeks food for a family
basically I sort of enjoyed the rollercoaster but prefer the normal stakes video – but well done on the recovery
I can understand where you are coming from but I can explain.
Many people will think the same but they are not privy to my daily habits, they don’t know what i do for a living etc and i believe it matters.
For example, in any given fixture list that i am trading, (I trade sports markets on betting exchanges among several other gambling related forms of income, yes really), i will start by placing a bet of multiple thousands of pounds in several matches. I will usually be in the region of £25,000 in to the markets to begin with depending on how many simultaneously running games there are, over a period of time then i will watch the markets and react to specific events which in some instances can result in me being as much as £75,000 in to these markets as a whole. This may sound bonkers but whilst the money is bet and placed, it is not the sum of the risk, as long as you keep your discipline. The returns are often small, very small, but regular in comparison to the staked amounts but even when it goes sensationally wrong the loss is limited as long as like i say, you keep your head.
Working with these kind of figures all the time means that i am sort of immune to staking say £750 on a slot for a bonus buy, even £1500. I appreciate it is a lot of money but it is thoroughly calculated to be affordable to me, to my personal financial situation, i actually have a separate gambling bank card that i fill with what i can afford to play with at casinos.
I am not rich, i don’t own my own house, i have a Ford Mondeo, i’ve said it before i am just a normal bloke but people take exception to that sometimes when watching how i play, i have always been a gambler all my life and these videos and sessions are usually my chill out time away from all the figures and calculations and pressure that a trading atmosphere creates. I do not spend my money on literally anything else, i’m not a branded clothes kind of bloke, i don’t smoke, i don’t wear a watch, i’m not a jewelry guy so i choose to spend my money on slots.
After explaining this sort of thing it is then sometimes thrown back at me then what is the need for affiliation if you make money from trading, well when i first started the channel, i was eating into my trading profits and sometimes using my trading bank for some deposits as the channel started to grow and i got a bit addicted to the buzz of people saying “great video” and i wanted to do more and more and more so i needed to put something in place that stopped me having to do that, despite what everyone thinks or says about the giveaways, they are there for me to give back to those that chose to support me and it’s never been a secret of where the money comes from that i give away – affiliation in the first place. I never intended them for one second to be seen as a “lure” and the thought hadn’t even entered my head until it was posted one time. My intention with this whole thing, the channel, the videos, The Bandit, wasn’t profit but it also wasn’t loss or at least excessive loss which it was starting to become after a couple of months of doing it at the start, it was simply that i enjoyed slotting and clearly so did a lot of other people so i recorded the play. Those who liked what they saw came back for the next one, those that didn’t like what they saw didn’t. I wish it was just that simple.
My sessions are massively educational, people get to see what certain games are capable of without having to spend their own money. I have put in place various protection elements for those that feel they may need help, i have purchased codes that make casino blocking software free for a time period for those that need it. I am always full of warnings, don’t do this, don’t do that, you will lose etc
I kind of lost my trail of thought with where i was going but i think i got a couple of points across that i hope would explain to you how i play how i do, i’l leave it there for the time being.
Cheers for watching and i appreciate your post.
