Or first board ready play game end up shitty box next board costs £10 same again then before u no it ur bout £30 in to get £3 in your box 2 repeats and it goes stone.
YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS!!!!! £15 for a dead board, if you get this a few times, you're losing a fortune! These just do it for fun aswell! Mattb you say this is the worst DOND and yet you still advocate forcing it, WHAT DONT YOU FORCE?!?!
Kidney stones i'd imagine.
Seriously though, this machine is absolutely awful. Ive had a couple of silent IMs but short of that very little. Tops never seem to go for more than £35, in my experience anyway. And yes, a board can cost a RIDICULOUS amount.
Ridiculous amounts + shit tops = losses. Matt, you must be having a stupid amount of good luck to do well off these.
Doing the top secret emptier which no one knows about?
OR
Just taking out value in the way that anyone with half a brain might do?
I think the £25s are pretty awful to be honest. If everything seems a bit fresh, by all means try a board, but usually it's £8ish to see a £2/£3 board. COBing is a waste of time. Roughly 0.3 for LOSE, 0.3 for 1p, 0.3 for mid range £3-Dial up dosh, 0.1 for £20ish, we're talking when decidedly valueless, but not totally dead, on average reflex.
Slanksyesque expectation equates that assuming those values are right (they are, I'm a better player than anyone else here. Don't argue, that's a hard fact, so tough, deal with it.) Yeah blah, yadda, expectation is 0+0.3p+£2+£2 => £4.30, higher than the £2/£3 board.
WAIT! You say. YOU MUNTER! Why are you saying take your £3? You've just speculated that COB is worth £4.30 on average.
Yeah I have haven't I? Errrrm. Hold on. Gotta make up some bollocks now.
Yeah, because if you take COB the expectation is that you'll get LOSE or 1p which is like LOSE but...no it's close enough to LOSE to be LOSE. 1p is a polite way of getting LOSE. Yeah errr you can get sucked in with COBs which is err BAD as you get done to %
Take your £2 and take the £6 loss on the chin BUT WAIT....there could be a DOND board around the corner......or a MIXED STREAK. It could suddenly get happy. It has been taking £8 for a board off the last 654732 punters. Maybe it is about to turn.
I suppose it's personal preference. COB it to death on 50p or not play it or go for DOND.
Whatever way I say the £25s are not good. My personal opinion. They have lovely anti-player code in them to give £60+ of £2 boards.
The £35s are a bit better because the offers are better. Get to grips with y'know and you may get yourself a steal. Know the history. Yeah COB it in the fresh (*) Cambridge pubs where the COB reflex may be there (it's not a pot folks - let the gluers and poppers shoot me down here).
I have a Honopoly Pop Moperty which is on a higher % It's ok you know. Switching about is next to useless as red triple shot is barely better than £2+no repeat.
So that was a pointless post. But......wait for someone to lose. Then play it and win. That is the summary. Hope that 'elps. Remember, remember. That sort of thing. COBBing in SPOONS is useless as every half baked player junkie chav muntling addict COBS these days, so expect pennies from heaven and pounds in the cashbox. However tickle it about, flap around and dapple about, floating on positive reflexes and snipe out the big boys, know your values and watch as the COB brigade pay £12 for LOSE. Then spawn a GATW. Look out for lousy %s and know your limits and only gamble what you can't afford to keep with you at all times.
Be carefully poes on Monopoopopopolopoloypoes as there are no long Noel Edmonds samples. It flashes up GATW quick like LOTR TTT and maybe the MONOP at top flashes, but that's all. You won'g get Noel Edmonds going
"This is the most sensational game! I've got a feeling you are going to go away with a huge, huge sum of money. I want you to get a lot of money. THE NEXT ONE!! This is 'orrible....fantastic!" <<Go all the way>>
I baptised a Monop - whatever it's called last week. High %, new. £15 off full. £74 in for GATW -----MS £44. Then £2 in for red £25. No rep. Then £10 in for £15+rep. Lost about £7 low stake messing with the COB zone boards...after juice positive reflux quick£20 not awarded.
Made a few quid.
Then it was....leave a few quid or play all out for swooshy. Or dream on. Choices.
Incidentally do you find yourself dropping huge, huge into everyday life? I do. I know I'm silly but I'll often talk about huge, huge things to normal (non fruit) people. In the queue for the cashier at the bank a man started talking about a large polar bear on NEWS 24. I replied by agreeing it was a huge, huge bear. I even say it like Noel Edmonds as well. Huge, huge.
