If I had to rely on shit like ESB's and electro's to make a decent wage i'd give up and learn a trade. Both games were past their best at least 6 months ago. Mind you depends what area you live in, round here i'd expect to find such games dead so I just don't bother playing them.

What I meant was its a bit of a foolish assumption that there is nothing new out there. There is always someone out there who has something fresh and is keeping it quiet.

I can think of several games that don't appear to make percentage, a good example would be Bell Fruit Showtime, a real turd of a game. But it doesn't mean there is anything on it. The same goes for MoB. Personally I don't really play them but have had some lucky results on them just trying boards. The thing is JG, is that its all such a trifling insignificance. Do you have a job you enjoy? A partner you love? A surfeit of disposable cash with which to enjoy your spare time? A positive outlook on life? If the answer to any of those questions is yes then you've got nothing to worry about. Nothing else matters. I could have all the methods in the world, but I don't have a positive outlook on life, far from it. Which is why i'm still in bed at 1 pm, when I could easily be out making money. It's not important, at all.

Not recent but still - on a Sunday route motif:

I had a route which had ~10 aliens, 3 SW, 5 reds, 3 Cluedos and 6 DMTs.
Should be good normally...this time battled everything to almost break evens. Any profit on one went into another.

Typical pants day when reds show like a Christmas tree and you do almost a jp in for streak. Cluedos that drop lines for fun but won't gamble up etc

So theres "new stuff" and you give hints on here! Clever! Wonder who will moan first when people are running about!

:?

You've lost me there, nobody's hinting at anything. I was merely pointing out that just because someone like Maverick says there is nothing going on it doesn't mean there isn't. He's hardly the quickest at getting info. Whatever happens you won't find me moaning about it because i'm at the stage where I don't give a toss either way. And if there is anything out there by the time you get it it'll be fucked anyway.
