Power 5

JG · Post by JG » Sun Mar 01, 2009 9:39 pm

They're pretty savage. Long costs for boards, losing gambles and unless it's really flying, you're hoping for a phone board of a flash to save you.

Going in blind on these is a rocky route to take.

Free gambles? P2? Hmmmmm.

They are savage, unless you are ultra-disciplined you can easily find yourself into these for 50+ in a couple of minutes when all you wanted to do was test the waters, been there done it myself.

Yeah, you pay £14 for that £1 only board, really time to walk. Chances are a muntling ripped £35 from a stray set of phones.

It could be another £1 and you're in the money, but stick around too long and it's another £10 for a 4box/2phone middle and £2 cash.

Usually 72% garbage.

you say youve been stung?

4 boxes or two phones and the run around?

basicly means youve followed the person that made a profit..

and tray hop. we normally see eye to eye, but what the fuck?

these (power 5) ar worth a shot every time.... if you hit a board within £3 you are normally up... on a chip.
if its not empty and on a 1 chip then you make whateveres there...

i dont understand ppl moaning about these unless they are on an orig + mt already

im not saying that you lot who play on a pro basis should put them in your route.... but i think out of the selection around, these ar e worth a punt every now and again.,

I'd play one if it was in a pub with something else, you can get the phone board and make a quick profit now and again, i would'nt by a drink for this alone though apart from to see if it works like previously mentioned.

To say these are savage is well far fetched. These have got a proper streak profile in them unlike most Cycle DOND's streaks. I've not long lost 1 in a nice little pub non notey so easy to keep on top of. Hit it once a fortnight like clockwork. Play for the power 5 or the IM will just come along anyway.

Like scott says, I wouldn't class it as a good earner but I wouldn't ignore it in the right locations.

Fair play Trayhop, you have plenty of better options,can't argue with that. But from a non knowledge perspective, these aren't in the class of CYBTB and clones for taking money.
Some people seem to forget that this is a fruit machine forum which is supposed to be about discussing fruit machines, but giving an argument when you have biased knowledge sort of throws that out the window.

fair point gambo m8 ,,,,,,,,,,, from a none pro perspective , of course i can appreciate that people are going to play these aswell as other similar drivel , and are going to discuss these and others , fair point indeed ,,,,,,,, something the rest of us pro's forget .

but the same can be said for every thread on fruitchat , theres a wide variety of levels of players frequent every topic .

but as a pro , if i decide to comment on any thread , i can only do it from my pro perspective ,,,,,,,,

Admirely replied (Shit spelling I know) And that's missing from a lot of members, I know what your getting at, these are now a gamble and from a pro's position not worth touching. But in context with this thread, you can't seriously agree that they are savage??
Better time spent elsewhere?? hell yes, but guaranteed loss, no way which a savage machine would fall into that category.

Although I'm not a casual player, if I was one then I'd fancy my chances of winning on a chipped P5 much more than something like CYBTB or Deal Wheel etc, so much easier to suck value out of a P5 IMO...

oh no not savage , i agree gaz ,,,,,,,,,,,,, there's much worse than p5 out there.

but i thought the whole point of this forum, was to help others with less knowledge, now knowing the chipped p5 is a shite machine, surely should be said to warn people that it's ( majority of the time ) a waste of time and money! totaly agree with lee, but majority of the time i wouldent even check if it worked, lol unless was something else in there, if i checked every p5 i found id need at least a few that worked to equal the ammount of losses i took on all the others checking to see if works lol
