Oh my goodness, chased a slider in a night club when we got in, it was 120 off, made 24 on it, so left it 144 off, Keyed it after midnite/new year etc and it was only 57 off!
So how was it NOT worth a force? I mean it must of been??!
Oh know it wasnt.
Cost just shy of 50 for a 35 top. ouch. Alas, we just had to push on! Then cost the whole 35 plus another 40 in notes to go 25 then 50 then stoned dead.
Shows how bad a 35 top really is.

I am amazed at how quick m/c's near me fill up
I left a LAB £127 off at midday yesterday
Keyed it at just after midnight last night
£39 off
Cost me £40 for £80

No great luck here over new year, only made a few quid from a lucky random IM on cabin fever, and my HC. Everything else still mainly dead as feck, including a holy moley £115 off. Great!

£35 aint always to be dreaded
Had my best experience from any red today on a legal tender.
This one had the number reel fucked for a few weeks and its just been fixed, anyway first board ARB1, top came from 10 in for £20.
Not showing next few boards but the gives number runner, lost the gamble from red 7's but straight up for a top of 35 next spin.
Nest board is around 50% red and i bravely (i say that as taking a good feaature would have meant an extra £10 which would mean a lot to me as im broke at the minute) gambled all the way to the top mainly on dodgy numbers for a cool £70.
A few credits later SS for £10 on a 1, £20 top.
Excellent result for me, really restores my confidence in reds, a cheap £75 on invincible (not even redding) after was the icing on the cake

Don't really understand this logic myself? So it had taken £60, but the machine has to actually MAKE money! so that doesnt mean an easy £60 for someone who knows what theyre doing.. What if it had taken £100 and kept 60, with a 70% payout it would only have to pay out £30, and working in macro-cycles it doesnt have to pay out anything, OR! you could have previously gone on it just after a streak and so it is recouporating its loses, no?

I'd say it was worth a chase - £87 has gone back in since pot! Just have to take a hit sometimes......doesn't always play ball. I've chased the same red twice in one day and had two £75s out of it.

good point about the £87, i went on the first figure, but still, isnt it better to go on how it is playing rather than how much it has taken back?

Yeah usually, but if you see my post called 'reds not always the oracle' from a while ago, i had some great results chasing reds not really showing, that i knew had £70+ go through them.

They soon pep up!
