the places i'm talking about aint spoons or daily fillers obviously, i have a vortex in an old mans pub that is sound every 5 days, if its within 10-20 off then i'll just push it regardless, i would'nt take this attitude with some reds like SMTM, but things like vortex and invince i will take on after a certain period of time, yes you take the odd hit, but if i was only taking a red on when its ARB1 on one nudge i would'nt be playing much!silent g wrote:if a machine in wetherspoons streaks and they refill it the next day then you go in and it full your gonna be fooked.
especially if its a mummy or you get fake red on another machine.
eg. go in spoons red is dropping first board costs £5 arb1 (fake) next board costs £20 agb1 you will want another board or 2 as your £25 in and and seen a red board.
costly mate.
dont play just because theyre full. wait for a better sign mate.

The said day was a Friday, which I feel is strange a day to weekly refill.
When I managed a pub a few years ago our m/c's were refilled on Monday or Tuesday, as were most of the pubs in Skem, Wigan and surrounding areas. This made sense to me, plus pubs didn't refill daily and if they did it was in its infancy.
Oh well, if you're like me and don't carry a key its a case of 'right place, right time' anyway these days, and touch wood things have been good recently.

Knowing when ur m/cs get emptied is priceless. I have some on a mon some on a tue, I even randomly have one that re-fills sat because my friend manages there. She said it changed from a fri to a sat - weird.
Also - and this is what u need to look out for - is bars that refill when they can be arsed. This is infuriating and I'll even give u an example - Varsity. Sometimes re-fill it (bar staff) and also have a weekly empty.
Other bars refill every day without fail like my hi-lo silver. Daily refill without fail and the collector comes on Fridays.
