    Urgent Financial advice needed.

    I'm in the pub and can gamble upon on the fruit machine from £4 to £6.50 or I might lose the lot.

    Only registered IFAs thanks.

    It pays out more if you stand on one leg when pressing Start

    It's all about context. In future if you want advice about something financial it would be prudent to periodically notify us of your financial wellbeing with threads such as:

    Do I really need a third apartment in Monaco?
    Scratching my head here, eighth car dilemma.
    Do I take a massive pension payout early or can I live on my current massive wealth for a couple more years?

    You can't expect any sort of sensible reply unless you tell us how many beers you had sunk previous funds into,and whether you wanted to invest in a kebab on the way home. Without that information it's just idle speculation.

    Can one invest in a kebab? Admittedly you do get a return but it’s shit.

    I always like the story a colleague would tell about an elderly member of his golf club. Said gent would spend his Sunday afternoons in the clubhouse where they apparently had a fruit machine (!), and would equip himself with 1 pint glass of red wine, and 1 pint glass of pound coins. When both glasses were empty, it was time to go home.

    One certainly can. It is an investment in oneself and has both short,medium and long term returns. Short term being the immediate satisfaction and satiation of hunger,medium term being a volatile mixture of meat,chilli sauce and one's digestive system,and long term being a more nebulous figure based on the equation below.

    Normal life expectancy - [pints drank / (kebabs eaten x strength of chilli sauce)]

    There is a similar explanation regarding pubtime investment in pork rinds.

    You should only take gamboling advice from a young sheep. You'd be baaarmy to do otherwise.

    I don't believe I could have put it better myself (and speaking as somebody who had 3 camel koftes for lunch).
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    I use the card counting technique and watch some mug feed it until they give up without a win then swoop in for ultimate glory.

    Source: I only played roulette once, put everything on red and won.

    Only a fool would pass up on the spin
