Sounds regardless, there still seems to be money in this, but I have noticed of late that it needs a bit more expertise than was previously required. The first couple of weeks annoyed the fuck out of me because to be honest it seemed all you had to do was turn up to win. Lately I've noticed a distinct advantage for people who are basically me.

I should have trusted you lot in the first place. Now I've finally learnt about the wind and how to hit the darn thing the money has fell in my lap. No doubt they'll bin it for the Xmas edition though...QuizMaster wrote:Sounds regardless, there still seems to be money in this, but I have noticed of late that it needs a bit more expertise than was previously required.

This game has provided a real 'bun fight' but I suspect it has all been about finding 'virgin' machines.cool wrote:not tightened up people winning!
Bumped into some local pros who were trying to go back over their routes for a second time and reported slim pickings. I suggested they should widen their area of search, they sneered at me and indicated that "men of their ability would always get the money if it was there".
I said if that was their view they should get real and realise their limitations, learn the bank or just accept it all as a 'seven day wonder'.
Anybody have an opinion on this?
I suspect a lot of 54 has been about finding virgin machines. I was going great guns early doors, and managed to do about half the city of London and good parts of north central London, but I've been too busy at work to build on that these last few weeks. I've tried the re-visiting strategy and it was very much nothing doing apart from getting three questions to a TIOLI jackpot on a 'no lives' play.
I'd say to make any kind of living at the machines one would surely have to have quite a large circuit of sites. I'd be disinclined to visit much more regularly than once every couple of months. As it is, though, through lack of time I visit the same old sites again and again. That doesn't pay much but it is great practice for when I occasionally get to visit a new site.

Doesn't make sense if the issues are changing every three months, surely?QuizMaster wrote:6 months between pub visits. Going back any sooner can be sometimes beneficial but is generally fruitless in the long run.
It's no good winning all the money - you've got to let the munters have some too so they'll keep playing.

To contribute rather belatedly, I'd agree that HB has been tightened. Managed to find a virgin (or near-virgin) 54 today - the HB prizes were still starting from an achievable 1600 or so, but I noted that it started throwing in kipper questions from about the £3 or £4 mark, whereas when the game came out it waited until £10 or sometimes even near £15 before doing that. I'm not entirely surprised, because the original HB definitely had the look of being "too easy". On the plus side, this HB let me take £3 and then a £4, so my total of £7 was probably only £3 less than the par I might have expected from a virgin 54 on its initial release.
