Hi got this idea after reading a topic over at jackpotty about 'sharking' what's your views on the subject are you a sharker, leecher, or have you been a victim of them and what about the chavs hanging about in arcades let's read your stories about this.

[vectra666]

Weston super mare sin city of the west country there's a few sharks in there, one paticular guy must be an employee of a sharkette (someone who works for a sharker) being paid a pound a day, this guy looks fish eyed has a hair lip, has about as much IQ as a squashed hedgehog and talks in a bristonian old mcdonald accent. Because when I've gone for my 3monthly gambling binge he's always in all the arcades must be cloned or something, anyways he goes on the phone mumbling "hey get down here a machine dropping with your name on it" that's what he probably says if you can understand the jibblerish lol so in walks the shark pockets rattling like santa's sleigh drops a tenner in minute later feature time out rolls fifty squids pays the sharkette a quid then onto the next loser. Now we've all sharked I have and do but not in your face but I never seam to get lucky like that, about as much luck as a rusty horseshoe.

Doesn't matter if your a shark or not a machine is a computer & it will pay out when it wants not when you want/think it will.

We used to kick sharks, people hanging around & general bums trying to help people hoping for a dropsy right out of the arcade.

You can shark & prob be guaranteed a win if people have been on it before hand who don't know what their doing.

Had a couple of old bints called the sisters (because they were sisters lol) in a small arcade in stroud where I live, they used to sit in there all day scrounging for free grub n tea and quids chatting nice n friendly probably counting ever quid you've put through the slot hoping you'd come off it down, so I used to keep playing eventually streaking it just to piss em off lol. That's bad enough being watched but even worse if they sit next to you stinking of old sweaty mouldy spud bags and piss!!
Not nice on a hot summer's day.
Another thing I hate people tring to tell me how to play in paticular Partytimes I know the machine inside out, but in gala glos on time mouthy chavette comes over hold this nudge that bring this in it'll go up and give jp. I'm thinking,No it won't f*** off!!!! And tyhen there's the pikey's in there sittin n watching inbetween bingo sessions people lose they're in there even before the foam has got back to normal shape still got the impression of the last players arse cheeks in it.

Dunno if its called sharking or whatever. But stansted airport used to have a small £5 machine area. We called it the sock shop.. becausr there used to be a sock shop their before the arcade lol. Anyway.. if you can imagine 100000 foreigners walking through the terminal and 10% think.. hey while im hear lets try one of these machine thingys..
Well to cut a long story short.. that place was payout city everyday at least twice daily you could fill your pockets. Perfect
Trouble is all the other employees of stansted started to get wise and join in.. in the end it was mainly employees working it and the profits just dropped.

isnt the whole point of sharking the basis of going on a machine when someone else has done their bollocks ?

Sharks are annoying, but 'interactive' sharks are infinitely worse. The (normally younger) gits who reach over the machine while you are playing, try and distract you from IMs, offer advice 'I'll get you a jackpot if you give us a fiver'... luckily I don't think they are that common but I'm sure we've all come across them before

Far worse are those who utilise emptiers and clear the machine out by using bugs.

 

But then I can't say I wouldn't if I knew how to LMAO.

 

Been £20 - £40 down on at least 3 machines in my time, before I finally realise what has happened.

 

On sharking, I was playing in a pub with a mate on a QPS a good few years back, we did our dough and then some, about £200 through a £35 jackpot machine and the most it would offer was £10 - £20 wins and we thought we had put in enough for a jackpot at least.

 

Anyway, my mates wife said come on now lets get something to eat, afterwards. We both straight away turned around in unison and said, not in here. We knew that even the most stupid of players, who was watching for afar, would eventually take the jackpot out and then some.

The arcades in Blackpool are full of local people,sharking machines!!! WTF

And the arcade owners let them rotate around the arcades daily. I know this for the few times ive played in them,ive say cut through Coral Island and seen the same sad people swarming back and forth in the arcade. And then on my way home,have cut through the arcade again and there they remain-sad or what!

I was bad when I was hooked on the slots,years ago-but I never hung around arcades to pounce on someone else's misfortune-sad people indeed-get a life!!!!

One place next to Chuzzy's arcade in Nottingham (Done Bookmakers), is especially well known for this, and the odd times when I have gone in there, I get em breathing down the back of my neck.

To this I reply...... if you wanna come sit in my lap, please get better deodourant, and for f*** sake do something about your breath!

They often don't like that at all, and f*** off out of my way
