To behonest a profit on a rolling red that does a full £105 /£75 is only on average between £30 and £50. Barcrests, your profit can only be between £20 and £30.Extremes are pretty much dead now so any profit is a bonus, BFM will just swallow half of your barcrest profit.

Games Media etc, well my opinion is that you can profit on these too as long as no one else is doing them, so an average of between £20 and £30

Rough mathmatics says that to make £1k you would need to hit about 30 m/cs per week. Add in the fact that some are not ready to payout and you are looking at around 50 m/c's minimum (bearing in mind that the money you lose on an extra 10m/c's you make back on the other extra 10 m/c's)

ok, if someone wants to carry this discussion on i'll leave my bit there.

Are there ever 50 m/c's in a town centre? London and Birmingham accepted.

NB Three more quick points - I have ignored Lo Tech's, Golden_game - your point on playing 3 m/cs at the same time is accurate -agreed

Secondly - 50 * half a coke is £50

and finally why the hell do you lot still play FOBT roulette? it's fixed!<laugh>(BTW This final point is a joke! I don't this topic to go off course!)

no you have 2 or 3 large runs which you do twice a week

1-2k is the norm for good players

ok, so tell me how many m/c's you hit 2 or 3 times a week then? and do you agree with my rough profit figures per m/c?

Not calling anyone names or anything, I honestly believe there are players out there who "can" make this kind of money, but I just want to know the mechanics of how it's done!

NB I don;t live in a city centre so i;m restricted for choice on the amount of m/cs I play - have about 12 in my town. On the other hand, there is practically no competition where I am, so I do tend to hit the bigger streaks most times when I play!

I expected some harsh replies but the one about £10,000 a week... rofl come on if your gonna lie then please make it believable.

Where does this fruit machine playing coming under on a CV then?

last 4 years: unemployed on the rock n roll

I can believe it's true.

you wouldn't need any emptiers to make that sort of money.

Just a very good route and the time effort to do it, Emptiers would obvious boost you to say and extra grand a week in your area, or if u travelled and knew locatios the boundaries are endless.

when I was full time would make around £500 a week, but wouldn't go out everyday, it just gets boring and its not exactly very sociable.

I have a very good but small route in my new home town and playing after work I make anywhere between £100-300 a night, thats just in 4 hours or so! Think of what I could be making if I was full time? Not necceasrily, places arent all open 24-7 and not al machines can be done everyday.

"Earning" on machines isn' down to know "umptiers and trickz wit keyz" its about contacts, routes, timing, judgement and discipline!

£520k a year. Fuck off. Golden Game? Golden Brown more like. I'm torn between whether you've been taking some serious stuff, are horrendously bad at maths, or a habitual 14yr old pikey twat.

Or just a twat.

Or a combination of the above, which seems more likely.

dont you think your language is bit harsh. what were you doing back in 1996 ?? a lot of casion's had 2or 3 grandslams. do you know how to play them? you assumed i played the AWP machines.

for those of you that were doing the slams making 1k each per machine was not hard, they were everywhere . the most ive won from a slam in a casino was 3k . who is the twat you are me.

I'll keep my figures close to my chest for now. I keep full records of s34 earning, poker earnings, s16 losing, FOBT losings.

Stop it, you're making me jealous.

"Alright, alright stop emptying it!!"

I just didn't have Slams. Didn't 'ave 'em. Didn't know it. I'm going to work out an emptier for on line slots and when I have it, I WILL BE THE BEST.

Come on Ladbrokes. Do an emptier on yer on line slots. Please.

3K. Wowser. Pretty good. What did you say the emptier was for them again?

As Mr. Myagii says, there always someone better than you. So true.

Maybe i was wrong about needing emptiers, but you definately need very good knowledge/tricks (with or without keys) for machines that most of us (including myself) wouldn't know. Doubt someone with minimal bandit knowledge of holds/respins could make so much, even if they are disciplined with a good route.

wel saying that i can make up to 500 in a day as long as i hit 1 or 2 eptys and a bit of travel on top of that. there is not as much players over here so you dont get nowhere as near as much people hitting your runs your doing. you can just get unlucky that a few places you go some1 has hit lucky a got a streak out of it and i wouldent do this every day play 1 day drink and do bars next not really a steady profit when your going round bars because you always seem 2 drink the profit and thats just the way of it if your doing a craw because drinking a coke a walking out with a top makes it look bad so i aways stay 4 a few and when i do come in the bar satff now c me as a local simply because im there for atleast 2hrs every day or 2
but at the end of the day a extra few pints will keep my bar run a lot longer than me walking in having 1 then walking bk out sometimes i even buy a few and every time a get a chance pour it down the toilet just 2 keep me from getting to drunk and being stupid with it online poker is the worst when your drunk are it can be your best asset but in my case it seems to f**k me over :x

To say you make £10000 a week is laughable.

If you actually did make that the last thing you'd actually do is tell a public forum who can work out where you live quite easily and come and get some.
