Floats

Post by thecannonball89 »

Whats the avrage float then? To keep myself from going mad on pieces of shit i only realy carry about 250 - 300 with me, Feel like i can play safer with this amount, When i had mainly 25 barcrests like darts ect and extremes/cluedos/panthers ustd to go out with about 80 quid if i was working local.

I have a bank card so i just normaly go out with what I have, so normaly 300-400 in notes and 100-200 in coins. If I didn't have a bank card then I would recommend not to go out with less than a bag, you never know when you can come across a jpk that's worth a punt or your first 2 hits could be 2 freshly done LTDs and a lovely dent of 200-300 sheets.

Was a time when a bag of 10p and a few £1 + £2 coins was enough

Usual float is 2 armbands and a rubber ring if there's a wave machine.



JG likes this (thumbs up)....Fridays were always fun days at our local swimming baths and it was out with the lanes and in with the crazy coloured floats and balls.

Been a long while since i started the day with more than say £20 in coins. No real need for them any more. They cause a bit more fire, plus most of todays stuff is probably easier playing with tenners. Started using a key a hell of a lot more too
He isn't right of course, he just thinks he is.

I take every penny i have at the time.

aswell as , all my fiancee's jewelry and her laptop,the shrapnel bottle, all my ps3 games and a selection of dvd and blurays.

sometimes ,if i go out for b3's i'll take back-up consisting of my fiancee's dsi and my ps3 along with my great grandfathers medals.

If all else fails some of the kids toys are in quite good nick considering.
