Anyone JPed £1 cluedo? I managed a £25 the other day having probably only played it about 5 times ever. I would say that the £50 was there andwould probably only have needed another 4 correct answers (max) but was in a hurry so didnt want to run the risk of crapping out.

Incidentally could someone tell me how to actually find the cellr bonus (the above was achieved without one) as I can never seem to locate any of the symbols?- Any tips?

Perhaps I gave up on this a bit early.

Played a Paragon this evening, which was so disturbingly poor, I even checked the Word Soup scoreboard to see if dmac had been in while on tour (he's been everywhere)!

Managed to get myself back in the black with a couple of fivers (so it can't have been that bad after all) and had one last 50p to play. Recalling my experience above, I thought it was probably worth a look.

So, three lives, looking good. Cashpot £1.55, oh dear. Start off with 20,000 and then a series of "double or nothing"s take me to 498,000 (£5), three lives still intact, bloody hell. Then another "double or nothing".........

Was this a "double or nothing" too far? Tune in for the next exciting instalment......

cba reading the rest of the thread to see if it's there, but i got a ridiculously easy JP out of Trivia for Dummies 2 tonight. Only £10, but still a JP.

Last question "which of these sports uses balls" with snooker being the answer giving an example of how easy it flung it upon me!

Nice! Had a JP from 'Pub Quiz' a little while back too, where the questions were equally simple throughout. Or if the question itself was not easy enough - the two wrong answers were so 'wrong' that you'd have to be a buffoon to select one of those... :)

Did the publican think you were David Bailey? LOL

I didn't think it was possible to JP that every go as it protected itself via a number of ways? Unless there's something else to it - I only played it a couple of times as Poker is not really my thing.

Yes Matt, unfortunately the being a secretive Mr Bailey is the only way to reach the top level. Knowledge of the winning hands is essential though and good hand eye co-ordination. After a bit of practice though it can be done in 30 minutes

Maybe you should tell the Gambling Commission you can do it.

i got two new (for me) jackpots today. the boozer is not obviously the thicko arms but add in the normal favourites and £47 from a fiver would betray a different story. quite accidental that i banked that amount but if you spot pink paper in the street you are going to bend over for it.

it won't be popular here, but i didn't have to memorise anything. both were instinctive aptitude rather than rote knowledge.
