Theres ways of obtaining a JP or top streak so much quicker than just straight forcing it. Maybe you have a shit one or you are playing it wrong.

£4s are enough for me. Your nearly certain to break even, with a chance of getting a huge MS for a good profit. Obviously £5 is better, but i chased a CADD today from £4 and it only cost £22 to get a £40 MS. Not bad at all. 8)

Will try again but there is none of these on my normal route.

Tell you what after reading everyones stories on here from the people who are seemingly good players, I decided to have a bash on it in the local weathers.

First board it offerd £4 repeat so on with the force got it to go IM by getting the red eggs after a few skill selects onto hot numbers.

Gave a £50 MS with no afters but omg after all the hate I have said about this its just give me it all back.

And I now travel for this machine, cheers guys I now am a CADD player

How much profit though ?

How much did it cost to get the ms ?

These appear to be completely different profiles to any other hi/lo wheel Barcrest.

Remember how everybody slated Fireball when it was released, then thought... hang on a mo, its not THAT bad afterall.Looks like Cadd is getting similar reviews now.

Yes i know its not the same as Fireball, but its from the same hi/lo wheel family.

Revolution,Battle axe,Golden dragon,Ultimo,Fireball,D & P and Cashback.They have all changed slightly but are all similar looking.

This is nothing like a doshball at all (which shouldn't really be brute forced).

These are just an extension of the GGG/CBW (and later Mega Zone) family, but are much more force friendly, which most newer crests seem to be. It's another machine that you caln tell where you are almost straight away too, as the blocks are virtually set in stone. Just get a good £4/£4rp board, and just chase it. If its further on the great. I'd probably want a bit more if it didn't have the 50p +6% option though, definitely speeds things up.

Nothing like a Fireball mate, Fireballs gave setups and are/were great money makers as they were never chipped out.

It took £1 mate to get £50 £5 to next board and collected £2 repeater then left it to play the manic Muncher which was on its arse

Sorry guys but at no point in my post did i mention or say cadd was similar to Fireball, i said ( if you read it again ) how the machine was slated when it first came out then everyone started to realise there was more to meet the eye,so to speak.Likewise with cadd, everyone ( nearly) said is was bollocks- now its not( apparently )

God, am spending half my posts explaining myself here when in actual fact people should READ the post PROPERLY before saying stuff .I cant be arsed doing this when all it takes is to read things correctly and properly.

RANT OVER
Read it again :roll:

This is correct.I recall fondly certain people were just playing em like revs and axe's when they were first released.

Which certainly isnt the way to go on doshballs.
