This is a question Biggest opportunity I've blown

Not Alan Partridge tells us: "I was once offered the chance to co-present a programme on national radio. Audience of millions, but blew up spectacularly, my entire contribution being the rustling of paper in the background. I was that bad, I have since burned my copy of the pilot show." Tell us about your big break, and how you messed it up.

I played a fruit machine once
I put £3 in pressed the button a few times, nothing at all happened apart from things spinning around and some bloop bloop noises

I had a mate at Uni who said he knew the cycles of payouts of a particular machine in the student union. He was a maths student so I guess it's possible. When ever we went to the uni bar he'd sit facing it and even though he joined in with everyone he kept an eye on the cycle or whatever the fuck he was doing. If someone left the machine and he thought there was a payout due he's get on it. Win some money even the jackpot once, and leave the machine for someone to loose on.
