Yep agree grecian. This had become so lean for me that I had packed in bothering but seems to be back on form. That said after hacking through a 5x,000 at luch was left with £6/40p £2 offer which I declined for 40p. Wasnt an ItBox though so doesnt disturb the theory.

Also racked up a 8800ish on monopoly today. Off topic i know but my guess with some of the big scores you have seen on this is that once end game is secured it is a lot more generous with landing on hotels and obviously with 2ETAs you can keep going. (For my part i was playing for final station to try and secure final station for the £9.50 cashpot).

What is the biggest CP anyone has seen on this?

There's a £10 local to us, Hornby, but I've not seen more. That said I don't play it much (see below).

You could be right re. high scores. My fear is always that if I carry on I'll get kippered with hotel repairs which will push me back down below the endgame score, but I guess that has to be balanced against what properties you've got. Either way I've stopped playing it really - Joe Public seems to be better at it than I am so no point my playing it! I recall on old Monopoly Suri (him again) told me that once you've reached JP it craps out points at a rare old rate, so maybe this is a feature of Monopoly-related games...

I reckon that's £3.50 you owe me then.

:wink:

To balance things out, I saw what was I think the lowest target I've ever seen recently - 11,000 points! The only other time I saw this (or anything similar) was on the same day when I won my only £20 and the same thing happened this time as on the end game after the ultra-low target then - I won 10p!

thanks for the experiences shared here - on the subject of points targets, i have never seen higher than 76 or 78k so not sure if i have just been lucky? - the high targets can be deceptive : if you have a 60k target but fly through Round 1 for 22500 then you effectively have a 37500 target which is a lot more makeable, what really get me are 70k targets which then give you 250k for 4 questions first up(!) , then i cant be bothered - i wonder if anyone else has tried throwing away games in the hope of 'tricking' the m/c into giving you an easier target ? - i have and it does not work!
