i dont mind London for playing , when i've had some good stuff in the past...central, and on the tube. Used to stay at the copthorne in south kensington 100 quid a night for a 4 star hotel. I mean its only worth it if ur on an empty. I could have got a b and b , but they were like 80 and id rather be in a hotel

I used to like doing train stations as they have a huge turnover of faces, i had a few baring's also...one pub in maida vale another in soho... Your right about the Irish pubs...i never really had any violence i was followed into the toilets once and threatened but managed to talk my way out of it luckily. The Irish pubs can be pretty lairy... some nice pubs aswell in central with machines...alot of places dont have machines at all though

Blackpool Scum Crew run London, not me, not Horse, not Pony, not David, not even Boris Johnson! When the crew are out and about, its like being up against the entire police force while you try to rob a jewellers. They do fruits, key bets, probably would do all the scratchcards in the newsagents if they had info about there being a big winner amongst the ones on sale. They're so good at getting around, various divisions or mini gangs who are all over London all at once. You'll find a town dead and quickly move on to the next one... but that's been killed off by another group of them! They have also taken on the odd rebel player just to raise the bar a bit. I know a very established player who is always hanging around with them, even though he's not from anywhere like Blackpool. That's not good because he knows shitloads of locations, yes, even hidden ones.
I say good luck to anyone who fancies their chances against that lot. I just know the select few places I can go and make money - it takes years of experience, so again, good luck to anyone who thinks they can waltz into London and take over LOL.

I have been playing since the early 80's,
Nudge shuffler, lucky 2's, nugde up & down,
The early 90's were card cash, chase the ace, 7 heaven, 7 melon, 7 jackpot, mazooma bell, nickelodeon, hi flyer, pound for pound, pay rise, twilight zone, play it again, grand national, camerlot, open the box, montecarlo, miami dice, reno reels, reno casino, cristal maze was one of the last token machines before the £10 jackpots came out & jpm machines took over & a whole new breed of professionals was born.

talking of london , yesterday we covered 50fuel , carpark 16tube , food drink etc and came home with 350/175 each
so we must have took well over 450 out of machines to achieve it
this isnt a brag thread , those sort of days are far and few between for me ,
we usually end up 50plus each though , its difficult to have a losing day in london if you keep your head
its the expenses that take a huge chunk , drinks , food , parking charges , parking restrictions everywhere,congestion everywhere you go at all times of the day or night , its a daunting drive around for the uninitiated.
everything is multiplied by the effort though
if your having a shit day , its pissing it down , your bumping into other players left right and centre , youve struggled to scrape your expenses back ,and youve still got 100 mile plus drive home, it can be depressing
but londons main saving grace over most other citys is the throughput , wages are better and that is reflected in the spending habits ,you actually have to wait sometimes to get on machines, (remember back in the day in your town lol)
also theres no best day to try , , fri tue , sa , wed , , , , everyday is the same
there are untold amount of players in london on any given day ,(we bumped into two groups yesterday) but its so vast ,nobody can stay on top of everything , when an area is dead you can hop on a tube 2stops and its a different picture etc
the expenses cut into your profits , but the atmosphere in london , especially the summer with its foreign birds in little clothing etc cant be beat.
if you treat it as a pure slotting day you can be dissapointed
but
if you treat it more as a day out , and are happy to clear your expenses etc,you can be plesantly suprised by what is achievable

When dealing with chronically depressed people their responses will often be littered with elusive sarcasm, arrogance, belittlement and malicious anger. It serves best to ignore these negative characteristics and address the points they are often masking. The most positive results are achieved that way.Noels Beard wrote:Hmm...you obviously missed my sarcasm. Never mind.
Nice to see you having a civil conversation with Glendale without letting it descend into personal attacks.
