DNA Doesn't like me

for the first time yesterday, I got royally STUFFED on DNA. £30 off from the start, offering up to blue sevens, 4 shots including £10+rp, £110! later of pure forcing and only £11 off dna wins dumped on me, it finally gives a flat £25. £40-50 later and it gives a second for £50 then goes dead! this point I have put in a massive £170 and am only up to about £75, chicken out and start collecting random shit, leaving a £100 down.
bling bling plays like a bitch, eventually giving me super mega bling for just £25. its late, Im tired, im going home (after one more place to visit

) so do a bad thing and go on elvis, gives me three jukeboxes for £50! very generous! so walk off that with about £60 left. Stick it in another s16; 'Mermaids Treasure' and 15 little dolphins roll in (cant get the picture to email from my phone.
Walked with £540 off the 60

Merry Effing Xmas
On a side note, if anyone can get the e-mail settings for o2 on a w850i would be much appreciated. I think they are correct but still won't let me send. Anyone else able/unable to through o2 today?

got another 50 or 60 off a couple of other reds too and most of the lots of the 170 was form Dragon Drop and Smash and Grab. Ended over £500 up for the day.
HATING when red boxes dont offer notation though :x

Funnily enough, I stumbled across a Smash'n'Grab today too - it's one of the best Globals out there.
So easy to read. Loves doing big tops and throwing IMs in.

I've noticed with DNA that when it does a £25 top it can show the £10 shot next board but won't be there for another top. Of course, sometimes it is there for a top though but it can be a bastard.

Hey guys, had a nightmare on a DNA 2day,
offered 3 shots on 1st board so assumed it
was okay 4 the force........
40 in for flat 25; then offered me 4 shots so
carry on,
another 40 in for flat 25, still shows 4 shots,
all that back and a total of 130 in for 75 top,
walked 55 down,
2 b fair, i will say the m/c
only red locked when i was 90 odd in and
wasnt ready (obviously) and the shots
offering 3 means shit, although i do
believe 4 is okay......
Does any1 carry on after 75 tops?
or was i right 2 leg it

They do sometimes run for more after £75 tops - though not from forcing out more tops. All top pot value has been taken and needs to reload. It should give another board soon after the top - if its dead reeling and boost bonusing just walk.
On these just nudge in DNA to milk the rest of whatever streak value is left. On LABs i've had about £50 in extras after a £75 tops before (dirty dozen/red star prize/toggles/sevens etc).

DNA likes to draw the streak out alot - which is annoying... ie. 25 25 25 50, with largish costs inbetween tops... or something like that, it is sometimes frustratingly hard to actually get the top - even if it's blatently ready

Had a wanker of one today, number runner on 2nd board, showing 4 shots on first board, costs about 25 for 25, next board up to 15 kills me on a 10, costs about 50 for next 25 then about 40 for next 25, which I then get a nice 15 pound D-N-A spin in and a 15 pound win on a 7. About 40 down and didn't do a thing wrong, D-N-A(Do-Not-Attempt)

Ouch.
They can be extremely dirty on pub mode, and just play that £40 for £25 game all day and night. Had the exact same thing happen to me before. Arcade ones tend to be better if you catch them right. Usually only one force needed for a £50/£75 plus extras!
That garnet wolsey pub DNA is on my worst ever DNA list along with one that used to be in York. Yuck!

commitments within that 2 hours and
decide 2 play it...... good luck!

They have just swapped my trusty x-rated which give regular tops of £50 & £75 for dna, which i have never, ever seen go over £25. Gonna stay clear of this in future.
