Playing atm

Post by anfield road »

I am doing the best I have done all e life in the past few months, finding out a few decnt 200 mile round trip routes full of wobblers and extremes up the A roads.
Reds are just being special atm, I am playing so disciplined its unreal...make £100 then I will stop if its past 4pm and plan a route for tommorow.

Being playing on m own driving to very far placs, invsting in some sat nav tommorow so I can get the post codes of all the pubs and have a very easy journey.

In the past month I have made about £2.5K, which is a great ammount of money actually have about £1.5K left after everything I have bought.

How is everyone elses playing going on

Hmm, never tried playing an ATM, does it take credits directly off you card?? ;)

But, on topic: Ben doing steady the last few months - been up between £60 and £200 each weekend, which is fine by me! ;) Finding that the number of Invincibles and 50p OARs near me are up in double figures now, and it's paying off nicely... ;)

I go out twice a week to play properly, if I'm in a pub I'll have a dabble if appropriate. I don't need to travel as far as 200miles fortunately as I'm quite lucky with my selection at the moment. If I can make £100-200 a week I'm happy :)

I can usually make a good £200 a week just doing cambridge twice or a lazy third time over. can't be bothered with much else these days, back into work now so my playing time will gradually decrease. Worked a full 12 hours today (9am-9pm) and made a good £90 odd. Give me that over playing fruit machines any day!

sounds like you put the effort in anfield, it certainly helps to have a car; places you can get to via public transport are nearly all burnt, if you have a good car route that you know isnt played much the money is still there.

RE: reds being special - I dont really know about that, sometimes good, sometimes take hits on them, even if they are ready sometimes...

Wobblers I'm very suprised you have loads of- was never a very widely distributed machine, and extremes are getting rarer and rarer as we speak...

Enjoy it while it lasts, that's all I've got to say on that one...

I agree about the wobblers. Cambridge only ever got 1 wobbler in the spoons. Recently one has appeared in a club though, but that requires going out til silly o clock to play it! York had about 5 wobblers at one point though which was nice 8)

Villages and outskirts are certainly the best place. A few of the surrounding villages here have got some superb machines (OAR/DNA/keyable extreme/Campers) that are usually fab to play. Put in the effort and the rewards can be yours 8)

Fuck playing full time, wouldnt do it even if there was £100 a day to be made.

Much prefer my uni degree, seeing the girlfriend everyday or two, drinks with my friends, working in a surf/snowboard job and doing music promotion on the side.

Fruities will ALWAYS be for me a "little hobbie on the side"

Ive met players, plenty of them....And they arent the kind of people id want to be hanging with - their perception of money is completely fucked, they are greedy, they lose all sense of sensible priorities and very soon it becomes a world of "me vs the rest of the players"

Fuck that. No way. I want to have a life, a career, prospects.


This isnt a go at you Anfield, i must say...well done! But please, be careful...Dont let all the money go to your head and keep on top of things. Even with the best planned route in the world - you will NOT always win.

When the Extremes disappear, life will become "a little trickier".

But something else will come along. It has for the last 12 years.

£13.89 would get me (in one day):

- To work and back on the bus (£8 in total)
- A roll / baguette at the shop
- A few cartons of drink
- A pack of crisps

So if I got that in a day - I'd live, but have absolutely no personal belongings whatsoever...

As a running joke now, I think that whenever JV is mentioned, it should be written as: Jeff "£13.89" Vickers... ;)

(Sorry Jeff! lol)
