Yah Gold. Bit funny in there. Got banned years ago in there for a Rollercoaster. They wouldn't even let me put another credit in for the repeat on Rollercoaster feature. We had £60 at the time. On for £75 but we were denied by the landlord and locals!

so whats been said so far is that over the last ten years people have made over a million from fruitmachines.. thats the part i was biting on

why state over the last XX years, when you are only on about the 35's and 70's...

basicly... you're talking completely out of your arse that someone has made a million from playing..

you want up to date shit? lets talk about popeye... or viz?
The point is, that if u get this info right from the off then thousands per day is possible. It generally is the same few people that always get this stuff.

If u read my earlier posts you'll see I doubted the 7 figures banded about. But I've no doubt that certain people were clearing well into 6 figures over a several months with certain empties that you and indeed myself are oblivious too!!!

I remember you pm'd me about dials when p3's had been out a few months. Well these were getting done from the off on £25 and were absolutely everywhere. Out a good year before even the good players on here became aware of anything. Now that's a shit load of money to be earnt from a machine that was one of the most common around. Especially with 12 months head start. Then p2's were gettin done for months after that.

If u use that example and assume there have been numerous others with the same outcome. I've no doubt a special select few could really hit the big time.

Just my opinion of course.

As for empties in the last 10 years that you don't know about? Well we can all by a spaz watts back and brag about it later the reason we all pretty much know about these cos now they are of no use what so ever so that's irrelevant!

The reason u weren't emptying aliens, robbers, trip 7 cabs and then and then methoding electro's, amazings, dig it wars etc is because they were of use. The fact u still don't know how to proves just where u are in the chain. Now imagine bein at the top?

So therefore information availability is key to the argument, cos if ure on it from the start then 6 fig yearly salaries is possible. Times that by a few years and we're gettin close to what you think are bullshit claims.

spose i better add my tupence


pmk is right about one thing ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the TOP boys at the TOP of the tree can and do have stuff the rest of us dont for a very long time ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, even stuff that never makes it to our level,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, because it was kept quiet until the machine phased out of existence .


over 20 + years most of us have probably made a million ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but banked it ,,,,,,? no ,,,,,,,, life's expenses get in the way.

im far far from the top of the tree ,,,,,,,,,,, but through discipline have a reasonable bank balance and have lived a relatively luxuriousness lifestye with many an unnecessary spend on wholly unnecessary lifes little luxuries (thats a bit of a tongue twister sorry),,,, go abroad 3 times a year etc,,,,,,, totally frivolous granted, ,i know of other legit players who have lived more basic and banked (or have assets , house etc) in excess of 250k ,,,,,,,,,, but have they lived ? now theres a question ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, all work and no play makes jack the dull boy etc ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, its all about finding a balance , i suppose if i had no relationships over the last 20 years and lived with parents on bread and water lol ,,,, i could of banked 500k , but through sacrifice of a more rich and fulfilling life.

please lets not get confused and add toolers into the mix ,,,,,,,,,,,, that doesn't count , we've all met em , and know of a few in particular that make our bank balances pale into insignificance ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but were talking about money earnt from fruits legit here , not robbed .

so to sum up ,,,,,,,,,,, yeah its defo possible for a few exceptional top boys to have banked a million ,,,,,,,,, anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

but you have to ask ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, AT WHAT COST ??????
Little discipline = BIG issue

other than that i dont really play enough anymore to give a shit..

i was simply biting at the "my mates a millionaire" post...

if someone did actually make a million from playing fruits ( in cash in the bank )

why the fuck would they continue?

I think everybody should be at an equal level. Give everyone the same info and then see who the best really is. Some of these lads at the top of the info chain certainly are not deserving of their position. How they are there I just don't know.

im assuming anyone working for the actual programming dept of any big company is completely banned from playing the machines? either that, or working hours programming then evenings trying to have a life..

a bog standard programming guy probably earns around £10 an hour, would have to explain the £500,000 house and porshe to their boss...

a more reasonable senario would be the programmers sellign the info for a wad of cash..

as for selling info to toolers.. jsut buy a cab and work it out..
