Unbelievable on this the other day.

Must have cycled about £400 through it, initial stake of £90.

Got about umpteeeeen tops, straight forcing, never once hit a red note. Got £30 max from tops and name fills.

Showed £10 from the off too 8)

Lost all £90 going for "one more" top.

What a wanker of a machine!

That amount of losing hasnt happened in a while, but its a £90 I could have spent on worthwhile stuff. Gonna take a break from playing now.

Nothing is sacred no more :o ops: :(

edit - oh yeah I was drunk and in a shit mood after england lost (never a good combo!!)

I'm taking a firm stance on these Red 'Tenner-Top' machines. And NOT forcing them. They can be a right bugger, as you found out!

They can be tres annoying as you've said. I've slung £60 through a very well playing pulsation and only come off it £15 up from 4 tops. (£20, £30, £20, £10). Now i know a DNA/LAB wouldn't have pissed me about with all that rubbish! :x

Just bank these up, seems to work better.

When I know they're streaking I tend to do the following:

Push for top off SS/Number Runner/Nudge Win of 7's
Otherwise,
Take Decent Red Features (FTP, HR, £10 SAF),
OR taken Hiddens as when your offered the setup from board.

I dont force them at all now

A mate of mine had one red straight away and it cost him £100 for a £10 top
Then another £15 for a £30 top
And £20 for another £30 top
Then dead

I take features on these
If offered the skill shot i gamble for top from there
You can get a great profit from them this way

Definateley not one for the force

Best result for me was £90 top from £30 in
Which came from a number runner for £10 then higher than the 3

Other than that never had more than £30 in one go

BTW saw one £178 off yesterday :?

finally seems like your all recognising the nasty side to reds! stop playing them out so much and we'll all be better off :)

ob - These £10 top ones are definitely not the best and not worth the all-out force! They do have more of a bad side than most other Reds... :)

it all depends on the way your mcs are played a constant reforce will pay £30 tops for the duration.......id only force a couple of reds the others pull a few tc or whatever its offering for £10 profit......the profile has obviously been changed on reds with the exemption of a few :wink:

When pulsation first came out high top wins were quite common even had 85 once. Now though with people always forcing for top, good top wins are now rare. Thankfully I only have one in my area now as most people are stopping playing these including me.

£20 from the top is a bit of a let down.............but,still easy profit to be made........................well up to now :lol:

I personally rarely force a top feature from reds these days! the streak potential is massive anyway, from collecting red features, when buzzing, features come in every 1 to 3 quid anyway.
