visited my campers this week, which was its usual £3 starting :lol: 40 involved and gets the 14 nudge rip which repeated, making me 30 up....
off the remaining credits i got a board, which again £3 started ?
what would you do?

Anyway, i rechased, regretting it a bit as they're quite time consuming, and was out of town, pushed for time with train, etc.
60 back for no-repeat ffs!
Carried on and it came back within about 20 quid and cost 50 for 70...
what a waste of an extra hour for 20 quid less !

Has anyone else had a campers NOT repeat after £3 starting, its a first for me.

Yes £35 JP and the starts mean fuck all. I've had £1 1spin 1 nudge starting and got a £105 off £20. Also had £3-£4 starting and end up over £100 into it for a £70. I said a long time ago that the £35's where not as readable as the £25's.

I would not necassarily agree with that Gaz
I think the starts still do mean something on £35's
What they do though, is throw in poor starting boards in between
I would always be taking them on from £3 start, and pissed if i did not make

I would bet that on that 1 1 1 you mentioned that a couple of boards maybe 3-4 later would have been showing £3+ start

Never really had the newer jailbirds near me so cant comment on them
But as for the others as long as they are stacking i find them fine
Not that i have any left :P

I'm speaking more from Jailbirds experience than HC but I've made far too many times from a 1,1,1 1,2,2 type board to agree that you can read them. Yes £3 starting would make me expect profit but I've known it take the piss.

£4 starts mean its 4 spining and i doubt you could lose £100 on a 4spining campers even if you dont know the 13 nudge, also 1 1 1 dont mean its dead, you can tell ahead and behind by what reels they start on .

Thats just like saying it means nothing when a vortex shows 11 red features when there is no win there
