Hi All, I’ve been very quiet on here lately as my wife and I had our first child a couple of weeks ago so that’s taken up all of my time of course! I finally got out of the house for a few hours yesterday for the first time in weeks, and in addition to doing some shopping stopped in the bookies for an hour on the FOBTs (terrible I know) just for some entertainment as I stopped playing online a while ago. Anyway, I decided to play Drops of Gold, the ultra red bags (again terrible I know) but noticed something I found a bit strange. Those who know of the game will know that you have the wild pots on the above screen that drop in, but when you trigger a bonus the reel set changes and the layout of the pots above is different on bonus Vs base game. I got 8 spins from gambling a win. It didn’t pay much (about £60) but the lineup of pots above they were everywhere and I though if they drop in the next 1/2 spins on the bonus that’s a jackpot easily as the screen would be virtually full. So I played a bit longer and the bonus dropped in (gold pots and a bonus symbol for 8 spins) - but when the bonus started the reel set had changed completely and there were barely any pots there. It paid about £16. I Carried On and got another gamble which I landed 8 spins again and collected. This time when the bonus started all the pots from before were there, they dropped in and gave me a jackpot. I was £200 In and walked with £520. However, I think that there are in fact different reel sets for a bonus that has dropped in Vs spins that were gambled for and the spins from a drop in are far less valuable than gambled spins. just an observation I thought was interesting, has anyone else noticed this ? hope everyone is doing well!

At least with your roulette strategy (whilst 100% a losing strategy) there is some logic behind it and the wheel isn’t biased so it’s likely it will eventually hit a section it hasn’t for a while - although the problem is of course the odds are against you to martingale any pattern/section hence it being a 100% losing strategy. That’s just a mathematical fact. However, unlike a roulette wheel where everything has an equal chance on every spin and has consistent odds, with racing, there is bias in play. Each horse will have different odds and usually if low drawn horses have won the first 5 races it usually means that side of the track is quicker/better ground and so that side is more likely to keep winning. You’re generally better to follow it than go against it if that’s going to be your strategy. As for the odds, let’s take a field of 10 horses. If the first 4 races are won by horses in stalls 1-5 you are saying for the next 4 races you would back all those in stalls 6-10. Laying out 5pts per race across 5 horses means you need a 4/1 or bigger odds horse to win just to break even, and in fields of 10 or less that’s less likely to happen. We often hold racing comps here, so you can employ your strategy in those and see how it does. Ps - I’m not criticising you, everyone can play any game how they choose, I’m just pointing out there are mathematical flaws in your strategies you may want to consider.

I know this discussion is primarily around the online scene with Gamstop/limits/source of wealth etc, but I was in a land based Grosvenor this weekend and I saw this sign which I thought was interesting and hopefully a deterrent for those on any kind of self exclusion trying to work around it either online or live.

What about Roshtein , he’s pretty cool too

Can anyone link the video that the “well done” guy was in I want to re live the laughter on this boring Tuesday eve

Has anyone actually watched his video that explains his challenge ? It appears the goal is not to make money, but to try and have your bankroll of 4,300 units survive for 155,00 roulette spins - no method, no system, no logic just to have at least 1 unit remaining after 155,00 spins of roulette….

Not these witches then ?

Haven’t logged in for a few weeks been busy with work, hope you’re ok @Blacko mate like the others say just drop us a line to let us know you’re ok even if you’re just taking a break for a while

Cheers to you too mate, but yeah we had a howler

2.10 Bascule - 25 Win 3.20 Batman - 25 Win 3.55 Zero Carbon - 25 Win 4.30 Rainbow Colours - 25 Win @Aarongeorge1989 good luck for the last day, we feckin need it

Me and @Aarongeorge1989picks today are: 1.50 - Hydroplane 3.00 - Jimi Hendrix 4.45 - Gallib 5.20 - Highland Premiere All 25 win

The rules look tighter than the sign up bonus of a crypto casino I’m afraid mate, I think even if you hit a winner it would have been capped at 5 points max as for me and @Aarongeorge1989 we’ve just been giving you a fair handicap about to pull out back to back 33/1 shots on the final day to take the comp by storm
