I see that sort of thing all the time!

Which leads me to believe there is some massive skank on these to get the cashpot out quickly!

Before every man and his dog new about this, the threshhold was roughly £300 give or take a few quid. Then it crept down to £280-£290, now it seems anything above £200 is good to go!! Hence the one day it was on £170 the next day/day after it had gone stories.

Having said that, if you were to spend the whole week travelling, you'd only need to find 2/3 a week to make a decent wage, plus all the other stuff that you would find to put a decent route together along the way.

Mmmmmm........ I guess that would beat sitting around moaning that every thing is so shit. Must try harder BFK.

It is a case of every man and his dog, I've seen so many new faces pop up in some arcades I've been to where its very clear the person knows what they are playing for. All you can do is keep going to them as often as possible and hope you get lucky, try to make it so no one else will ever find it high enough for it to be worth going to. Lowest I've taken 1 on at was 260 and that was a nightmare.

I risked a £265 once, was a loss but nothing to major, bout £50 odd I think.

I actually knew about these ages ago, way before the masses. Thats not some kind of brag either.

I was put off initially tho by the ' Just row it thru - Rare you will lose but you can go balls deep etc etc' - Rowing 500's with my luck was not high on my priority at a time when the money was easier to make back then!! Guess I should have been more adventurous as it would have been less difficult finding them high way back when they were first released.

As it happened I didnt really play any, and they were not as common back then anyway.
