I presume it's the fact that they are £500's????
The chance of that quick touch? Albeit a very slim chance.
The walk of shame
I don't see people's problems with random games myself. This year I am up by at least ten grand if not significantly more on many of the games on triple 777 and Astra. I'm not talking emptiers or tricks here, just good old fashioned luck. the last four weeks have been epic, five Cadillacs, 500 off hall of plenty on merry money, two gold pots on jack and the giant jackpots, several gambled 500s on Reel King Potty, multiple pots on POG I could go on and on. You make your own luck. I feel lucky so I do get lucky. I won 5k in the casino at Coral Island, not on the meet, but at a later date. I phoned another member on here who was in the area and he was gutted he had missed out on such spoils. My reply was, if you were here we wouldn't have got the luck as you don't believe, you're not an optimist.
These games are not boring. People who say that haven't tried them properly. At any point you could get pots and probably will. Sure we all have the odd bad session. I know myself I lost £80 in Rocky last week and sacked it.
I broke my main rule there as the key is to just spend 20 max per unit. If you don't get lucky move on. The number of jackpots I've had off 20 is unreal.
I like playing them and I'm well up on them over all, yes that's with playable compensated machines aside. So take this as inspiration that as long as you are disciplined, go out and be lucky!!

I get a right buzz seeing the lep go 100+ up the feature trail.Thumper wrote:I don't understand how people can be addicted to 500's. They're just plain boring! Roulette I can kind of understand as its all about winning money quickly but 500's...? To me there is no entertainment at all.
I always thought the appeal of fruits was that punters think they have control by being able to manipulate the machine with nudges, holds and hi/lo'ing etc. Pressing one button repeatedly just doesn't do it for me, and to be honest I can't understand why it would for anyone.
As for geting the pots in. The buzz is greater.
Roulete i find is the most boring game ever.
Nothings boring to play if your geting your buzz (high)
Oh i forgot to add......... Its nothing about winning money quickly.
I get a buzz thinking about the 500s knowing i am going there to play them in a day or two
Others and theres a lot here, Get that buzz every night thinking about the next day plays

Total knackers mate. If you “feel lucky" you will win? Next you'll be telling me there's a god and life after death. If you're that much up I'd seriously bail out now or you could end up like two of my mates who lost 100 and 400k respectivelyAMK wrote:I don't see people's problems with random games myself.

I too have said 20 quid a unit. My fucking brain at the time says otherwise.
I dont think he meant i feel lucky , Then he will allways win lolbetchrider wrote:Total knackers mate. If you “feel lucky" you will win? Next you'll be telling me there's a god and life after death.

Everytime you bung a twenty in summit, film it.......
I bet if i put 20 into every game in my home town I wouldn't luck out once.
8+ betting shops all with 4 terminals (lets say at least 7 games on each), 2 arcades with roughly 10 units half are multi choice so probably 20+ games.
So roughly 244 games. Whole lot of luck needed..... It would cost me nearly 5k to twenty the lot of them, doubt i'd get a grand back.

He isn't right of course, he just thinks he is.
I bet you would luck out more than once aswellfeeder22 wrote:Everytime you bung a twenty in summit, film it.......

Now you mention all them game son a terminal.
I only play 1 or 2 games at most on a terminal, If i played more,I would never get off it lol
I only play rainbow riches, Cops & robbers and cops & robbers smash & grab.
Tomoz is my weekly 500 flutter and i am taking no bank cards ( i never do anyway)
I am taking 60 quid and will play cops&robbers on 50p stake in the ladbrokes,I have a 2 hour play time window
I will have 50 spending money to get my bits & bobs FIRST befor i play.
Well I ended up blowing it all in the endBFK wrote:Serves u right for all the spawny results u use to post about on potty!!!!
Seriously tho, how u had so much continued luck I'll never know.
I got addicted because my first ever 'proper' £500 session involved £40 in for a £500 Gold pot. Then I got another £500 Gold pot that same evening. I would have rather lost £500 that first session.
Progressive pots are also what used to draw me in, as I had something 'to play for' (Of course they're random, but when you're addicted you try and fool yourself otherwise). Never ever interested in roulette / casino style games or the generic slots really.
My 'walk of shame' from a £500, well of course I had plenty but one sticks in my mind more than most. About £350 down and I'm sat at a £400 pie screen on a Rainbow Riches in William Hills having gambled up from a small win £1 or whatever it was. I could collect and run, I could save and pie and run, but I had been on a 'streak' of doing small win pies to £500 so just whacked the Start button. Donk! £800 later, it didn't come back in for the £500. Easy to figure you risked £400 to win just an extra £100 once you walk out of that door into the fresh air (or rather in this country, rain.)
Although I do agree, over 50% of my big wins were off a single £20 note!

Sure £20 max helps stop you going silly on random's, but surely you realise long run the winner is the owner of the games, doesn't matter what your attitude to feeling lucky etc. is!!!! The more you do into random's in the long run, the more you're going to lose long run... of course there might be people that have got the VERY high end +ve variance, ie. you supposedly Rob! and won overall...
Fair enough I'm not saying you haven't done it, but to have done it, is just a feat of incredible luck, akin to winning saying a big jackpot on the lottery/pools or so on, someone will buck the trend of average luck!
If 100 people did your £20 into random 500's and did it over 500+ different terminals, I imagine 95/100 would be losing at least, I'll put it that way,
Sure it's possible to beat the odds, but don't count on it, and certainly don't make it out to be some sort of system! Rob saying you can be "disciplined" and systematic about playing random games, is silly, statistically you're on a loser with these games when you put any money in them.
For every VERY odd luck out person that's up on these randoms there probably 100 people that are massively down on them..... I think in a sense people like you Rob and others on other forums like buddylove4000 sort of glamorise this playing off random 500s, and it might appear to alot of impressionable people like they are easy money, when infact the reality is that you really just won't win long run on those games. Not only won't you win long run, but you will lose very quickly, especially with regular play
PS: As an aside, I'm in the massively down pile, although thats over years and not really played them all that much, worst culprit is the horrible POG!

The whole premice of gambling on random's is that the house wins in the long run, that's the bottom line really! You can get the odd touch but to be up overall is unrealistic and only a very small percentage of people will be lucky enough to do it, even these people will no doubt go on to lose in future on randoms, perhaps more than they have ever won....
To have a premice such as Rob that restricting play to £20 on a single game etc. as being disciplined or systematic is silly really, as play on random games is continuous, it doesn't make a difference how you go about it!
The exception to the losers rule is the million + jackpot winners in vegas etc. i doubt they will ever be down on randoms... unless they are MASSIVE addicts!
