This is a question Crap Gadgets

We wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.

Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

How to win at fruit machines (not a gadget but...)
"Keep loading the machine up and refuse all wins. Eventually it has to pay you and will spit out jackpot repeaters."

Seemed logical. Sort of.

It didn't work.

Years later I found out it was a scam set up by a couple of fellas who wanted people to load up all the fruit machines so they could play them as opportunists (which is the right way) and empty them.

See You Next Tuesdays.

Edit: forgot to say the brochure with these "secrets" cost £9.99.

That doesn't even make sense as a scam.

I should have added
It was a leaflet/brochure which for you paid £9.99. It was in the back of Viz and probably a few tabloids - prime places for suckers to lap it up.
