About a year ago coins were everywhere, I used to go out with a mate I wasn't even old enough to punt. When I started myself they disappeared I didn't see any except 1 I thought they were extinct. I was going to buy a fruity and practice but there wasn't enough of them around. Now after today finding 4 and all looked due I think this might be a good business investment.

By the time you have got the hang of it they would have probaly have gone. It takes a long time to be perfect at them, even some pros still can't hit them. So it might not be a good investment

Bet your better now though. Surely a lot of practice makes you better. I think once you get the flow of it will get easier. As me granny says 'practice makes perfect'

Something like a panther or rovers is even cheaper, problem is anyone buying one now with a view to hitting electros has seriously missed the boat. This time last year would have been worth it...
Bored of the grind.

Just practice on the live machines, if they ain't gettin done the money u lose initially won't be that much different to the money you'll layout anyway. The odd icon raise might come along to!!

No point crying over spilt milk....Lost over 2k in a s16 in about 8hrs,my own stupid fault was a while ago now ya learn by mistakes,not touched one since if ya cant afford it dont do it simple..........Ive seen m8s in tears through what they have lost cant afford to pay Mortgage/Rent, pay bills Mrs going to leave em,Depression, its a horrible thing to have to witness especially when they ask you if you can help them out knowing full well you will probably never get it back....If you aint willing to loose dont even play.....
