It's certainly made me a bit paranoid. Walked into a pub today and saw someone looking a bit like him playing ye olde Chris Tarrant. He seemed a bit shifty too. Was it him?

Pales insignficance against what? £2k a day? £5k a day? You been spending some time with Redlinesman? LOL

cant see him trawling through countless top 50 restaurant questions and obscure united nations world heritage sites on
the recent set of questions on ye olde chris tarrant might fluke 2or 3 on the run but not 12 on the run which is needed

I'm extrapolating to be fair. £50 an hour is easily doable for the very best players and it's not as if getting on machines is a problem anymore. I could count the number of players in the country who were this capable on one hand though and Mr cp999 is one of them. it's not like AWP's where there's a guy on every street corner who thinks he's an expert. I am also not taking into account operational hazards like those fuckers at Sceptre.

The difference with SWP, and always has been, is that there is no such thing as a bad day. Once you can do £200-£300 a day, you can do it every day.
Stupid punters. Telly all the week, screw the wife Saturday

You'd have to be Damn good at em to make 200-300 a day, to those that do, hats off you're a clever bastard, doubt I'd ever be good enough at quizzes to make even 20 a day on em!!!!

Most of the games these days are like 1-2 quid max payout, I'd imagine million pound drops a good pros machine as I've had the tenner on it myself even a few times!!

A rare token of humility from quizmaster who seems to suggest that he is not at the top of the tree . I make a pretty poor living from the machines nowadays but it is easy to confuse income and ability. Paddy spooner was pretty Shit at machines but in the nineties he made a fortune from adders . This guy appears to have beaten one game like brewis. So what.

Generally a sign someone's been doing them. Emergency defence mode.

In fairness, he told me he'd been doing DOND before COM came out.

I never understood how it was possible to make a fortune from Adders. Great if no competition, but that was a seriously big if. It was too easy! There were at least three people doing them in Edinburgh for example. You did well find a machine with £10-£15 in it, irrespective of what day you went. I preferred Skilltrek because nobody else was doing it once it went to to 1 or 2 lights on the fiver.

I'd love to watch a quizzer at work, theres one who goes around Leicester but he's not very approachable, not in a nasty way, he just comes straight off when i try and chat to him, i just keep my distance from him now.

A guy comes in my work, plays a certain game... i think he is onto more than he lets on, but in a tight lipped way, he chats and as we have told him he wont ever be barred for getting the questions right == he seems ok with us.. i sit with him and and watch him sometimes... its fun to watch... (i suppose for the player its as boring as fruits)

Quiz machine players are very tight lipped in my experience, fair play to them!
