had an evening to myself today and did something really sad. i decided to go to my favourite boozer and settle down to a thankless unscientific experiment of playing every game on the titbox exactly once (even wwtbam and dond (both of which i lost)). but i did try my best even trudging through three rounds of hangman.
i went out with a tenner and after six pints i now have £17 and a curry so no great profit but it is a box ticked.
tbh most of it was doubling up my fifty pees but it is surprising how much free money is in the games which none of us bother with.

For some reason this sounds like fun.
I'm off out to give it a go. I'll report back later. :P

to be fair i decided on it because it was a new machine (54 though) and i cheated a little bit by playing HB twice because i fouled up the first go.

OK it's a well played machine but that really is quite unimpressive isn't it?
I was there very recently dmac (sorry) and noticed a few Hyena scores, so I imagine he's nailed quite a bit of the low-hanging fruit on the machine. In addition I took big wins out of three or four of the games, so probably it wasn't the best pub to choose for this experiment!

low-hanging fruit
Are you in management, my good man?
That is a 'fave' amongst one of my bosses, along with 'Feeding the beasts' and 'Networking, at the bar!' GRRRR!!
Er, Matt, Out---->
Back on topic, I'd love to try this, but think I'd come out at a significant loss. Bully, Monopoly, Hangman, DOND for me only, might yield a profit!

Apologies! A very annoying phrase but a perfect one to describe easy pickings on an SWP, I reckon! Next time I've got a bit of time to kill on an unvisited 55 ItBox I'll give this a whirl. Trouble is that I'd be needing to nail some of my banker games on the first go (not always an easy task) to pay for the many ItBox games I've either not played or have no particular skill at!

No apology needed, and you are right, it is the most apt phrase for 'quick wins' (there's another!).
