SMTM Easy Top!!!

That's why I qualified it with 'I guess' and the fact that I was only out to watch the footy with a group of 'non-gambling' mates...

Nothing worse than getting roped in when everyone else wants to move on...

Family situation doesn't permit me to go out with that amount, like I used to. But I'm enjoying some significant wins still, from playing carefully to start with, then building up a good base amount to take to other machines. Still, I'm happy...

yes, I would question the merit of playing any machines with £30 on you - even if you were going to watch footy etc. you mayaswell bring adequete funds for a force, just in case you see something red, I never carry less than £200 on me

Good job I got lucky then...

Nah, I know it's silly to have less than 'comfortable' funds available, and if I were a single fella without 4 (and soon to be 5) other mouths to feed, you can guarantee I'd have the fundage available. Times just don't permit it at the moment, so am taking it careful...

fair enough, but why don't you keep a float of £200 at all times, just for stake money; I'm sure you could afford the once off £200, and by keeping it at that level by topping up after wins you always have a stake to play with...

unless that is you think you're going to lose the £200! In that case, then why would you play in the first place!!

Not a bad idea. I'll just have to make sure the missus keeps her eyes (and hands) off of it...

To be honest, I've been doing pretty damn well recently, on 'say' a Friday, and then by Saturday, I've spent it all on something else, such as PC software / bonus food shopping / really nice meal out, so if I park up this weekends 'takings' and keep 'em by for the following weekends 'stake' - I'll be a lot more comfortable...

theres always a RISK you can lose large amounts thats why you carry it, it doesnt mean you think you WILL or that you are likely too, but a back up wedge of notes is a must, even if you NEVER use it, what harm is it to carry?

I feel uncomfortable going in a pub with less than £70 in coins & £100 in notes. I just don't trust the note changers as some won't accept the note and I hate having to ask for change at the bar.

Thats hardly a nightmare tbh is it]

Right lads i'm a bit miffed to put it mildly. Played a FNC tonight, backing off the 1st quid and after £15 in I get ARB1 board on 1 nudge. Reached 3 feature shot points but just couldn't hit the green 1. I got 3 ARB1/2 boards on the trot before getting NR to hit £15, gambled to £35 where now on this & SMTM I'd normally collect but after our discussion about it being there anyway I thought this couldn't be anymore there so gambled. It lost and then proceeded to take another £50 before letting me get back to £35! How can you guys justify this gamble ? It completely took the piss giving ARB1 boards but killing 1st gamble, Blocking at £5 then £10 then £15 then £25. I've never been so angry with myself, I'm sorry but your wrong when it comes to FNC & SMTM. The program is stupid where it'll kill you on £35 to the top for no reason then die. I got 3 tops in the end all did £35's. With afters I managed £135 off £120 from a seemingly flying machine that I could of had £35 off £20.

Rant over

now if someone would be kind enough to share with me the full empty on WIYB I promise never to rant again

you still won £15 then, what are you moaning about... £35 off £20 is £15 profit too you know! (yes I know it would have still been there blah blah blah)

£35-top does lose sometimes, that's the risk you take, had it won it may have done £70/85, which is obviously alot better than £35, even if it were to carry on redding after the £35

Yeah, taking the £35 just prevents a huge streak if you ask me. Ok so it didn't go 100% as planned, in the long run i'd play for the top though. Each to their own

Had a couple of good results of these today
Made £30 on one and £80 on another

The one i made £80 on was just a joy to play which seemingly never happens on these usually
£10 for first board £15 nudge win gambles to top does £35
Around £5 for next board dies on £15 and does the same again another £5ish later
Then goes in on £15 again and the bonus gives lucky 7 (i am on a 3)
Higher gives a 6, sure death here??
Nope go higher and it goes to a 7

and the top does £70

A point for those unsure of these if they are ready or not
Don't chase purely on 6 red's showing
Must show 7+ with no high win/lines

Another annoying trick these like to play is the ARB1 board that is actually blocked at a fiver. £5 nudge win....nudge in GMs, get a feature shot....red fast cash, red numbers up, red cash lynx....gamble to a fiver, lower than 11....12! So inconsistent. I mean the other day i had one do £35 tops quite cheaply. Few spins later, £25 nudge win on a 2....higher for a 1. Very next spin, £25 nudge win, gambles to the top for £35. What bloody difference has one spin made to make it do that?! :x
