Backing and what to do

I played an extreem the other day. 1st £1 and it was backing. Decided to play. Eventually got £70 off £60, then next £5 it went for another JP. So staggered £105
Tried a few more and coins were still backing. Was confused as it forced me to collect the 105 but still seemed full.
what would you do? Extreemes don't tend to go for more than £105?
Thanks

Listen very carefully, I shall say Vis only Vonce!
Backing Is just 1 of many signs that the machine is worth playing. It doesn't mean its ready to pay like say for e.g an ARB1 board on a Red machine. Now a machine could pay out £100+ streak at the end of a night then get refilled 1st thing in the morning so its backing but only just paid out big. If a machine is backing it's not a way of the machine saying its ready to pay but if your on top of your refill days and when you've last taken alot out of it then it helps.
For E.g
You play it monday and drop £105 so the machine is £105+ off full, you know its not refilled till friday, you go in thursday and its backing so you know somebody or several people have kindly pumped it back up for you.
But even here something could of happened like the hopper broke and the engineer came out and fixed it so refilled it while he was there.

Cheers dude. Very helpful. I got staggere £105 off it. That was Tuesday so i'm going to leave it now for a while, don't trust it.
i play without a key so its difficult for me to get an idea of refils days but this particular machine seems to be ready quite often.

Also have a listen to it drop. If its hitting bare wood then the likelyhood is its been refilled. If its bouncing on coins try not to smile to much

look at the refill counter at the top if its like 00000 or 000010 ot 0000020 etc then its refiled like hardley ever if its like 079876 or 0078544 etc then its a daily refill or every other day.
If I find a Red 000010 etc I force regardless obviously becuase I have track of the actual refill day wjich is like every other wek

Some of these extremes have faults in them that cause them to continue backing even when you collect stuff out. Annoying as they IOU all the time!
