This happened to me tonight and wandered what everyone else would do.

having only put 2 quid into a particular red (being lucky devil) blue sevens are there from nudges.........

Now what would everyone else have done, collected it or gone for the force ?

Answers on a postcard and i will tell you what the results were !!

Had a what would you do tonight, invinc, arb1, no win, 32 pound on me, was on a night out, could probably have borrowed if needed, or gone cashpoint anyway, 25 in, goes flat, all back in plus the 7, last 2 quid, get it again flat, tenner later flat again, then rounded it off with a s'n's, a tenner, a SS and another tenner, walked with 75. Bit silly chasing it, should have just milked it up, but decision justified!

In some ways i like playing with only a little amount of money as it makes you think more. If you only have 32 you are more switched on to every move you make. Where as if you have 200, theres a cash point 2metres away you care 'as' mcuh.

Situation with lucky devil was this,

15 offerered straight away however went for the force. It continued to give skill stop for 12 nudges to exchange to 15/25 however then died, and pretty much each bonus was giving number runner for the same again. It was costing about 6 to 7 quid per board tho.

It eventually took 180 to give a 2 35 tops plus 20 afters before it went stone dead.

After i walked a was just over 90 down, where as if i had taken the first 15 i would of been a tenner up. Just got me thinking thats all that sometimes it may be worth just grabbing a quiick profit than gambling for a much larger piece of the apple !

if NR every bonus, and all red no win, it would have had alot more than just 90 in it, you walked too early. I have been 200 into a lucky devil which went mad in the end, was not much down.

Nah, you have to get involved. You can't have it your own way every time.....but on average you'll end up way better off taking on from there than collecting. Take it on the chin and move on.

Yeah i know when sometimes you just have to walk and take the loss.

As for leaving it to early- wasnt prepaired to pay over a tenner per board with AGB1 and go for a total re-force

If the £15 was offered via NR then I would be cautious. If offered via nudges then would force. Cros is right, if you have put £180 in from the point of offering £15 then it would defo be there for more. Sometimes reds don't show for a while but will still be going (see my other post in Matts persistance thread).
