Started with a quid.......

Post by danthedude66 »

Yesterday, due to me being extremely skint til i get paid on monday, i had a single quid left, not another penny.
thought id nip in my local arcade and try a five pounder.
the old faithful Mob gives me four quid.
left the arcade with a score and was quite pleased with myself.
later on my mate rang and asked to meet me so i went and on the way stopped my local bowl for a dabble on the extremes- guaranteed profit unless theyve been done.
HC was DAF so iwas getting worried but relentlessly tried RTB for a board.
milked up to 18 quid in the bank with two quid to go in and a fiver left.
in came the random cashpot streak. 75 nuts. LAB quid in take a tenner.
left with a ton give or take a quid or two.
i guess my luck was in!!

Now this is where is struggle with the extreme, guaranteed winnings cliche.

80% of people on this forum speak of extremes being the "best" machines and "can never lose" on an extreme machine.

So dan how can you be down to your last quid if they are as good as everyone says they are??

I am not trying to be clever or anything, i am really just curious! :roll:

If i was guaranteed a profit on these then i would surely give up my shitty job and play extremes 24/7

without braggin i hardly ever lose on extremes and if i do its only £5 tops. for instance cost me £8 for my first board today but with the set ups and such i got the bank too £21 of £10 in...... so £11 profit not gonna make me a millionaire but good money for 10 minutes of my time, next pub was a chipped daunting that gave me the big jumps on the cashpot streak went £75 off bat outta hell streak.

aint rubbin peoples noses in it but i aint got a bad word for extremes at the minute. :)

makin the most out of these while they last.

the thing is where i live (norwich) i could name a good ten/15 punters. all of which know what they are doing, especially on extremes. if there was no other players in norwich i definatly would quit my job. I'd probably be a millionaire by now!!!
its just fighting with the competition, which is hard when there is soo many.

You shouldn't lose on extremes but it can happen. If someone ha splayed it before you and knoes all the setups etc etc then its nearly impossible.

E.g. £7 for a board... £1 start... collect £1..... setup doesn't hold
£7 for a board... same thing.

I hardly lose on them but have in the past.

Buzzing on one last night, me and dunhamzzz, RTB was 1-1-1ing and 1-2-1ing etc but it was keyable so it didn't matter. Anyways, about to come off and a lovely nudge trick, made about 30-40 on extremes last night!

Totally agree Dun... it is so so easy to make money on these. Lose on 1 and make your money back on another.
