A couple of years back I walked into a bookies in the UK and stuck £50 on a horse I had been given a word on from a stable lad, so decided to stay and watch the race on the tv screens.
While I was there a lad came in went straight on the FOBT machine and blew £450 playing roulette in under 10 minutes, he was a plaster/builder in his work clothes and had just been paid and blown the lot.
He shrugged his shoulders, said " Mrs will kill me " and walked out.
My bet won at 7/2 or 3/1, I took my winnings and walked straight out the door.
There were 4 of these machines in the shop, all 4 were being used.
