I've took a £80-£100 on before and lucked out, this game can be harsh as fook, imagine if you don't get it all day 2moro? And that could well happen, best of luck though.

It would have to be very high 300 for me if not 400. It's the time issue and I'm very unlucky. A don't even know why I'm sat on a daft lucky8.

Did you manage to drop them in a reasonable timescale/cost? Since the beginning of the year I have had a string of machines that have just crushed me. Either fabulously unlucky or fixed LOL.

Mathematically there is nothing wrong with taking on an 80. In fact you'd expect to make £56 on average on that pot. It takes about two and a half hours on average. By taking on that pot you're getting on average £22/hour. In today's working climate it's a sound enough wage, nothing special but many, many, many people would happily work for that.
With L8 though comes the hassle. And eventually the BIG SIT.
This is why if I'm totally at a loose end an £80 pot may justify one shot at L8, but sitting on one can be bad for your sanity, so I tend to sack 'em off. Double the pot and you've got yourself a sit. One and a half and mmmmm if there are no machine x,y or zs or even Wank Mists(c Mark Pain2013) then maybe have an all out stab.
Just my personal viewpoint.
Anyhow the key is not to go off the rails and brain out on something stupid like me, MOG or PMK would probably do.
Best of luck, I predict you'll get it in an hour and ten minutes for a further £28 spend.

A further note: Keybets, like on line poker and anything made by Astra, are totally rigged. You need a £700 pot at least to justify a sit. I too am over a grand down on three KBs this year. 320,450 and 390 crippled me.

300 in 217.80 ticket results in a 72.20 loss I think oh well of to spoons :)

Key Bets are what you play when you really want to punish yourself. Had 1 take 8 spins to give me a pot the other day, guess what happened next? 12 hours so far... double the amount I won off the other already in and no chance of a profit even including that win. Swings and roundabouts? Its more like playing minesweeper without the numbers to guide you.
