Just though id bring up this very relevant topic....(sorry if its been mentioned before)
I find that Saturday/Sunday mornings are usually very profitable due to the amount of drunken louts smashing hundreds of quids in, even if a machine has dropped, it can often play well the next day.
Mid week is often a good point too, or the day before refill day.
What about everyone else?
Do you have specific days/routes that you play? and why?
King
what days do you play pub machines?

I play almost every day, varying my 'run' between different locations, today was the airport which is a sure £50+.Dunhamzzz wrote:never hada bad sunday in my life. I tend to go fri sat sun mornings, sometimes wednesdays, but never tues/mon
Just about everythings usually worth a go on a sunday!, asides from collect on ? types which get recycled on all night long.

It's always good if you can find a 'ready' machine midway through a Friday afternoon, as most of the damage you do will be repaired that evening and you'll find it feeling semi-generous again the next morning.Matt Vinyl wrote:Thur / Fri evenings... Can do machines twice on a Friday more often than not. All about timing / location / 'busyness of pub'.

I'm off out to the 'Saturday night pubs' in a while to see how full the drunken kids have left the Bling Bling which seems to always be ready to pay on a Sunday morning.

This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy
Tuesday evenings
Friday night on closing i will have a look at a couple of reds-usually full
Saturday morning
But most profitable are sunday mornings
I live in a large city and the choice of reds is unbelievable
9/10 they are always full
I will do pubs that open at 9 say a spoons first, another opens at 11 they have 2 reds then anywhere else after 12
Today has been my least profitable sunday for a while and i still made £50
Last week in just 2 and a half hours i was £200 up just from awp's
This included a £118 dump off stack attack from £20 in
I find it very rare for a red to be not full or close to full on a sunday morning
Casual players out drinking just cannot win on them
They are only prepared to put a few quid in which is ok for a bellshite but not for a red
