reds def are the way forward anfield..in terms of numbers they are by far the least known machines in terms of peoples playing methods, any idiot can play a barcrest or a vivid but reds even if you do know what you are doing it can bring in suprises..ie swapping from £15 on a LAB to 12 nudges and the best of offer being £3...people see this and they lose hope...it does happen...i was just amazed to see such a buzzing machine do such a shit cycle...
my route is nearly 100% red..bar one maygay...
Wow!!! £35JP On A Roll

Reds are a double edged sword though. Yes they are the biggest money makers, but can equally be the biggest money takers. If your round is all reds, you could lose £50 odd just testing the water if you got a really dead one that cost £20 a board.
I'd much rather have an extreme and barcrest round. Cheap boards, you immediately know where you are, and have a much greater chance of not being stung. I've got quite a nice mix of everything here if i can be bothered to travel. Trouble is i often can't!

Totally agree. If you have a huge selection of reds then you can easily lose lots of money. If you streak them as well then you know you have to wait 3-4 days for it to be ok, what do you play in between?
If you have crests and extremes then you have a better chance of making a profit + they don't take as many days for them to be ready again.

Extreme's are getting rare and even the few left are usually burnt and little profit - and what crests are you talking about - there's hardly any around??? wobblers rare, and the other good crests are even more rare - the odd taylor darts wow, which imo is the worst darts clone anyhow, wouldn't even bother going to a pub for it.
Besides which, if your in a town which aint burnt, reds will be mint

Yeah, i have a nice selection here now though, about time!
2 LABs
2 Campers
1 Most Daunting
1 YDD
3 Raiders (immense!)
1 Bully
1 very old picking vamp
+ plenty of other reds (holy moely, on a roll, JP gems etc) which are unfortuantely usually never ready. Still much better here than it was a few months ago.
No-one here knows how to do the extremes as far as i know.....every time i go on them they are £2+ starting. Glorious.

Well, i would be more lucky if people from Norwich (*coughdunham/pickareelcough*) didn't visit here 2 times a week! 
:P
Only joking. Seriously though, that small selection is good enough to lure those two from Norwich to here 1-2 times a week......says it all really!

Nope - but out of interest, what were the other machines on £35JP?MrRed wrote:Managed to catch this red from the off earlier
Cost me £20 for a £70 top
In the same pub they have 3 other £35 JP m/c's all cack
Anyone else come across red £35's yet
I have only got this one
Still no sightings of the new £35 Red, called Crazy Cash Machine either ..
This machine may at times offer a choice where the player has every chance of bankruptcy

They are:
Billy The Quid
Fruits You Sir
Mental Money Martians (ok this compared to the above 2)
Also seen a Cock-a-doodle-whatever thingy on £35JP
Played a board on it, got offered 6 cash strikes which i took
Gave me £10
How can the jump from £10-£35 be justified
How long will this block for??
I certainly was not gonna try and find out
Took my tenner and ran
Would just like to point out, there are many many many more amzing machines like that down her in norwich and in the out skirts, its just theres so many darn players and they all have cars and get about!Mattb wrote:Well, i would be more lucky if people from Norwich (*coughdunham/pickareelcough*) didn't visit here 2 times a week!
