Hi guys, sorry I've been away so long. Trust everyone is well despite not tearing up trees :-(

The ONLY time I 'achieved' a £20 on DOND the other two values were £5 and £10, I recall being so staggered that I nearly forgot to follow the right box.

The unusual variance of the paragon configurations

Hi guys, Well you really don't know what to expect from a paragon these days....... Amidst all the updated favourites and interminable tournaments this evening I spied the return of Bullseye! Some new questions, but played the same. How refreshing to play one on a decent screen for once. This begs t...

They are certainly more numerous than once they were, i'll go along with Istenem's research and percentages, seems about right. They are better copies now than they used to be too.

However the pro is still discouraged, he misses out on a few quid and clearly will not return to the said site for a fair time outside of a reasonable radius for a small amount. In this way it could be viewed as a scam making them ...
