SWP player breaking cover

those of you whom i know personally have seen this but, given how quiet it is in here lately, at least this might be something to talk about.

from this week's Time Out (London).

so why did he do it?

I know Time Out doesn't have the circulation it used to, but my first reaction is that it's an odd decision to stick your face in it for every landlord in London to see...

Ego presumably. Also, it's not a very illuminating article and he paints too rosy a picture.

With Fruit Machines the general consensus is that it is not possible to make money fairly from it in the way you can with SWPs. They either think fruit players are sad addicts who are in denial or are people who fiddle, scam or rob the machine in some way. A similar spead on fruits would be seen as encouraging people to gamble.

Was wondering when something like this would show up. Can't understand why anyone making a decent living would shoot themselves in the foot like that, unless he genuinely is retiring, which he told me he was planning to.

lol, my first encounter with him didn't exactly go smoothly - lots of attitude on his part and probably some on mine also, then again it was obvious he initially regarded me as an idiot. He's a good player though (even if he only does one current game). The chat we had on the second encounter was a damn sight more interesting than that article.

Now when's the alleged Ch4 documentary coming out?

Is it the game pictured in the article, or - despite his apparent wish to reveal everything else about himself - is that part of the article disinformation?

One would think that the game on display is also most certainly a level of disinformation. There is no doubt as to what is actually being done out there at the moment and this isn't it to any great degree. £500 a day is a good earn, but pales into insiginficance against what can be achieved by the more determined of you, particularly those north of the border who have it all to themselves. This guy has some serious competition down London way.

It will change at some point in the future no doubt, so maybe he is breaking cover because he suspects he is one game removal away from having to start again, or maybe he is even aware of what approaches with MGD which is going to have a major impact next year, only time will tell if this is good or bad for the quizzes.

Is it just me or does he look a bit autistic?

MGD will render the quiz machines as we know them obsolete which will probably factor into his thinking

Hope that day doesn't come before I can work out how you get to every new machine before me!
