As we all know; depends on the situation.

If it was yer first quid and you got to the £10 / £15 and you only had a few quid on you - take the win.

If you're in for the force, then it's time to hit that low button...

Had two £75 tops from a DNA and a LAB on Friday. The DNA one was lower than an 8 LOL!...

Pulsation - Backing with a note changer. Exchanged at £8, gambled to £10 and then the enevitable.
Should of took £10 to cut losses, but as im the typical gambler person I didn't, and suffered.

Pulsation can be quite harsh i've found. Not really one of my fave reds.

Must confess I'd have gambled too.

Most reds will give you the top if you're at the top cash amount and gambling lower than a ten.

Except Pulsation and Legal Tender! But I'm not the sort of person to die wondering, so yes I'd have gone lower too.

Ah well, you win some you lose some.

was the exchange the result of a skill stop mjd?

ive noticed this machine loves chucking them in at regular intervals and will screw you all day long if its not ready..i take the view that it can do this as its only loosing a tenner if you collect which is EASILY taken back from the next player to hit the machine if it wants too..

ive had that same situation a few times myself and personally i try and look for reds on boards not from skill stops before really getting my hopes up of something amazing unless your just looking for the quick steal..but as already said who wouldnt gamble on a 10 when the machine can do a £100+ top...

played for beer money last nights quids in with a mate and after £4 got a number runner out of the blue for an easy red 7 set up on a bonus 10 which delightfully changed to a 1

only £20 followed but still paid for a few more Kopparbergs

its a new swedish cider that they sell in wetherspoons nixx..

comes in apple, pear, summer fruits (shortly to change to blackcurrant)

im not a cider fan at all but im hooked on this stuff..saying that not the apple one :P

id say its worth a go next time your out and round here its a steal at £2.10 for a 500ml bottle

down south maybe a touch more.

you can buy it in Ikea if you decide you like it that much

pulsation and tender block until the cows come home. I mean its a big jump between £10 and a possible £110 !

I would go lower than a 10 everytime sickening if you havent got the money to keep playing but thats how it goes.
I could probably count the number of times on one hand that i've had a top on a 1 or 12.
(maybe a bit of an exageration, but you know what i mean)
