50p or £1 ....
Posted: Wed Aug 23, 2006 8:34 pm
Well.... encountered the joys of 50p v £1 Bullseye and DOND for the first time today.
Bullseye Lite was playing like a sack o cack (2 shots, 501, 701), so I leapt onto the £1 version instead. It was offering 701, exactly the same as its little brother... through a great deal of skill, knowledge and guesswork, I got to the cash game. As somebody said previously, the offered prizes are all the same, the cheating remains, and the amount of money I won was the bog-standard, £2.
Onto DOND. After playing the 50p game, and winning a cool £2.50 (forgetting it wouldn't be rounded up), I graduated onto the £1 table, and like the Bullseye, it continued where it left off. Still wanted around 30-40,000pts, but for some reason, the first game was being woeful. 100,000s, 250,000s vanished instantly, the highest offer I got was about 5,000. I managed to achieve 6 deals and still be nowhere near my target. The next game was the same... it even lulled me into a false sense of thinking it was playing better, by giving me loads of free boxes and easy questions. Alas, whenever I was in danger of progressing, out came the 4q's per box and bumpy questions (1992 World Badminton Champ.....Hmmmmmmmmmm).
So to sum up £1 games. Pish.
