Been playing the fruits a lot more lately and getting better/more knowledgeable so started going into a few pubs not local to me lately for a gamble get a few funny looks at the bar, who are you, what you doin in here sort of look, Bar staff and patrons.
Then going over to the fruity's and with a method that was very kindly passed on to me for a certain machine continue to rip it of pound coins (its not going to happen all the time),(i dont think).
Sensibly take the winnings out few quid at a time hand underneath all that.
im planning on doing this over the next few weeks hopefully.
Is this bang on top!!??
The weatherspoons i dont give two shits about everyone and anyone could go in unoticed, but what about the local pubs for local people?
Its not my local
Theres an unwritten etiquette for these things, as you say weathers; do what you like. Local pubs WILL notice and WONT appreciate it, ive had trouble even when i have LOST, simply because a) you take out a lot (they dont realise how fast people can play) or b) you walk striaght up to a machine, alone, and dont buy a drink.
If you are talking big money (emptier etc) it is worth buying a drink (coke, OJ etc) and crisps and sitting down for a while before playing, check your phone a bit like youre waiting for someone, speak to the barstaff about random stuff or ask for directions etc, anything to make them think you are NOT just there to smack their fruits. It does help to have someone with you, and play more slowly so you dont look like you know the machine inside out.
if its not big money; do what you like!

Yep you have to be careful with the local pubs. Their regulars play them so you'll soon be noticed If your emptying the machine regularly. If you find a good 1 then try and pick a busy night to go in so that your a lot less noticed. I always buy a drink and it's always alcohol even if it's just a shandy.(I don't drive by the way).
I always take out about £15 - £20 at the most at a time and put a few quid back in each time. It's worth it if I know i'm planning on going back there again.
Town centres your pretty much fine as the big part of their custom is just passing trade. So they aren't that bothered unless theyre playing them ofcourse.

yeah this is true, busy time-friday/saturday early evening (when its getting busy but less beef from bouncers) anytime during football (long as machine isnt infront/underneath screen!) is good. Never build up too sizeable a bank ie collect every win, pocket some, put some back. I think frequency of visit is more important than money taken, I think if you take £100 out every saturday its not as bad as £15 every day.

I always get a drink and 9 times out of ten i will be with my younger brother, he does the driving i drink the pints!! We are like twins he's a bit smaller and is 2 years younger. But you can tell from a mile off were brothers. (Do you think that makes it worse/more on top?)
We would not sit down at all straight over to the machines but leave the machine i have a method for till last, as this is at the moment the one thats dropping them lovely pound coins.
I would have a little banter with the bar staff while there pouring the drinks and may have a little walk around mess with my phone like you say in full view of bar staff/managers and patrons (like im waiting for someone). We also tend to play rather slowly.
Its not major money but the other night we were at it for no more than 5 mins and bang £75!!
We tend to leave after the one drink!
Do you rekon we should go unoticed then Oak? (READ ON!!)
Im planning on being local twice a week on the same days at the same time! simply because i believe they will be most profitable! how do i gat out of that? Bar staff do change but there going to get onto it after a while!
WHAT TO DO! WHAT TO DO!

I was thinking Firday PM after 1 so everyones had there lunch and also Thursdays seem to be the start of the weekend round here most pubs are packed!
Then back in on the monday eve just after 6 PM in the hopes people have filled them up over the weekend!

Unfortunately this is likely to happen in the end if you are constantly emptying the same machine over and over again.anfield road wrote:no matter how well you hide it they always seem to barr you
As mentioned above the trick is to prolong the period before you do get barred.
My tips are;
Always buy a drink - preferably a pint. (difficult I know if you're driving)
Always finish said drink - nothing more obvious that you were just in to play the fruitie if you but half a coke have one swig and leave it by the machine having dumped £100.
Try and vary times of visit - you may see different bar staff or if you get friendly with one memeber of staff only go when they are working.
Don't jump straight on - as above sit down play with your phone and look like you're waiting for someone
Try and be subtle about it - collect wins slowly and try to give the impression you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Doing the above i've not been barred from too many places - Last one was a nightmare scenario in a local pub for local people with a Stack Attack first pound mega streak £75. Nice £73 profit (after pint) but landlord poliety asked me to clear off and not come back

calm down! and learn to spell 'right' right 
Buy a drink in all of them, sure, you dont have to drink them all; pour them down the toilet if you have to! Its all just common sense really, picture yourself in their shoes and imagine how you look to them. Play a machine and get your bro to come meet you AFTER you have done the machine for a drink, so it looks like you WERE waiting for someone, then you can have a good excuse ready "I always wait on on friday and monday to meet my bro after work" or whatever.
I got banned from crystal rooms, leicester sq at the weekend for doing an emptier three times in four days; and thats an arcade! PLUS two of the times, there was less than £5 left in it anyway! fucks.

Good idea i work in an office for NHS, shirt and tie all that! I could see that helping!Try wearing a suit as well... that really does work wonders.
But what about my big idea of going on them certain days and times??
I always finish my pint of STELLA!(£2.70 a pint round here scandlous!!)(bro does the driving he drinks cokes) Depending on how long it takes i would probably be hammerd!
The Oak never fails to impress me so simple i didnt even think of it!calm down! and learn to spell 'right' right Buy a drink in all of them, sure, you dont have to drink them all; pour them down the toilet if you have to!

P.S sorry about the bad spelling!
I've been getting p*ssed regularly recently. I've got a run that takes in 9 pubs. All of which I have either a pint or a bottle so I'm well going by the end of it. I always try and alternate the days I go in so hopefully theres different bar staff on. I do think dress code helps a lot too. Most of all finish your drink, you can spot a player a mile off when they don't finish their drinks. I saw a couple of lads a couple of weeks ago. Banging pound coins in the machine as I was walking in. Got my attention straight away. Took £75 out all in 1 go then walked out leaving a coke with a mouthful out of it and a full glass of orange. Either brain dead players or just passing through so weren't planning on coming back.
