These are still my main earners. Just 2day had a £90 whistle and the LES's straight after and on a different batch £35 whistle with LES's straight after. Easy money compared to high tecs. The locations of both was absolutely dead and i was the only person in both establishments. (Not a good sign.....).

I just don't get it, they are nearly always way off the flash or LES, wherever you go, I suppose the only way that this wouldn't be the case is if you did them every other day and kept track, which would probably lead to a barring anyhow.

I'm lucky in that the 4 sets i have dont refill as far as im aware, so if full are always there. This is in over 12months of play. That £90 whistle came from £3 in too which makes a change!!!!

oh I see, that's a big help I suppose, although I wouldnt imagine they were always there, imagine someone gets a LES for £35 then the £35 is put back in - won't be there for a while in that situation.

Tbh I hardly ever find them full, as people that play these all know the score with dropping and will not leave them dropping, will get a pot of the board first - I'm not talking clued up people here, just your run of the mill REGULAR type (ie. goes in there alot ) granny/mug punter.

You must have some really stupid munters where you come from if they are leaving them full all the time!

Slightly pessimistic Ob compared to my experience, but I appreciate that these are not always a walk in the park.
Taking them on blind is risky if someone is playing them out like this guy.
These games are balanced such that they tend towards holding back on some pots if others have paid.
The upshot of this is that even if Flo does hold out until a £35 game, it's usually not too damaging to take it on blind at good %.
With this competition, taking it on blind (even at good %) could mean paying £100s to get things started. In other words history and caution are key.

yeah if i see someone put a stack in one dtb i dont mind going straight on if they've nudged it in and only flat topped and left it,depending on the bank collected of course,and whether or not they had some bars.don't always pay off mind,but fuck it hey.

fair shout, just had so many £60+++ for LES, and miles from flash on these as a ratio to the amount I have played, that I just went off the machine. Unless you see mugs do a stack, or know its natural full, then its too dodgy.

Christ Lugsy, what %s are yours on? If I saw a proper chocka one which had just paid £35 and a few Xs, then the raise is there for the taking.

How so? Miles from the next spin, so you'd have to go for the flash? Could be worth it if lucky with bars and flash being not too far I suppose

Yes, that does sound a little bit more grim. Also these tend to hold on to repeats more than the £35s in my experience. It's probably just the lower % that they inevitably tend to be set on.
Still a good play to look in. The £25 Monops in a local Gala are 84%, so I've some idea of the gameplay.

Ha,ha...ha!!! Stupid munters!!!! The only people I've seen play these sets are your regular granny 50p play types. They never see out a LES series and nudge in the 4away whistle.
My budget for one unit is £20, within that can usually tell the mood, but if all 3 units are raped then a £60 loss it is. Never chase these anymore if not full.
ob where you from again?

With a high % Ob you get so many more wierd Xs coming in from nowhere, you're basically talking £100 cycled to get your whoopla back, but if it's proper full I'd be betting there's value in repeat or bars and you'll be playing the whoopla at say £70 back in anyway giving you a freeroll or cheap shot at goodies. Then of course there's plan B.

Very rare to get on these and find them properly full. Surely no where has that luxury? AS said grannies these days always play for some kind of value, they ain't leaving until they get something.

Best ones you can hope for regularly are the £200 rowed through for a breaking bank and leave. Pump to full is sometimes gifted by a lunchtime suit or passing nutter, hell it's rare.
