    Anyone know Kev who makes his way from Royston to town and back again on the number 57 bus and stops at every bookies on the way. He's barred from most so can't even get in.

    If you ever pass him he'll ask you to 'lend him a fiver'.

    What's he barred for? Just for his own good?

    Gets aggressive with the machines and forever asking other punters for a fiver.

    They've been letting him in the Ladbrokes on Midland Road recently but they all just have a laugh with him.

    He walks up to the BetFred then and trys watching the roulette from the window. Quite sad to see really.

    You ask to be barred, not that it deters some people, as in the same way, you can ask to be unbarred.

    Sounds bad, suppose any addiction is hard to understand if you haven't gone through it, I have a fiver (maybe sometimes a tenner) a week when the football is on but never been one for putting anything in a bandit, I have seen people win big amounts on the roulette machines but I suppose you just have to consider the fact that if someone has taken a few hundred quid out of it, how much have they put in it in the past before that. The house always wins.
