damn refils :-o

well... was passing the bookies yesterday with only a quid on me so decided what the hell, might as well kill some time and stick a quick bet on a horse, got it at 5-1, then £2 on a 9-2 got it as well, done 1 which lost then another £1 on a 4-1 got it too so i decided to head into town to do my usual run (doesnt require much to start since theres a lucky strike thats full and buzzed every 2 days). just took about £60 out of this throgh a Strike it rich from £2 in

and 2 steals followed. Onto bully for a quick DM, then fantaztec for a red fantaztec 1st £ followed by another £3 later. Forced a backing king kerching for 2 sets of crazy reels inside £20

. at this stage i was around £130 up.

THEN i moved on to a bowling alley which to my delight had just replaced there hulk, hells bells, cool jewels i.e shit machines with a few decent 1's SRM, thats magic (by red), trick shot (maybe

) and an old extreme hi locomotion or something

.

Anyway I proceeded to force a backing and super streak happy SRM which took £50 for a flat £25 SRM feature with no afters. £25 down. I moved onto hi locomotive offering £4 from the off only to quickly find myself £100 in and playing DEAD

. I was now on my last £2 due to buying drinks etc and out of nowhere came a win streak top feature which went for £35 and back to dead....well what can ya do

.after the SRM episode i should have noticed that all the new mc's were 'mysteriously' backing and i normally would have checked but by this stage i was pissed. Then to top it all off i left my wallet and fags in a local bar

shit happens

Should of kept your £130.00 and did the Fantaztec method!
Could've taken some time but good profit.

Also, bowling alleys i've been in are notorious for refills. One here has Hi/Lowatha, Royle Fam, Austin Powers, Italian Job 2, Codfather, Pie Factory, Six Shooter, and others - all refilled constantly. Cheaply, bought 'updated' machines...gash...

To add...Shark Raving Mad usually does the flat £25 streak and boards are costlier. Better to take a quick JP & afters, or try another method and playing for 'frees'.

Yeah, I've found going for jp forst can be more profitable on SRM, as the top streak rarely goes over £35 (or £30 to be more realistic)and often kills the machine.

But Darren, if you could pick 3 reasonably good priced horses to win out of 4, why not stick £10's or even £20's on them instead of putting £100 in a bandit lol! Doing £20 stakes you would have been up by £250!!

If the jp is offered well inside the 25 boundary, take it, as the srm streak will cost as much as you put in to get it!. Better to be 8-10 up than even!!

i normally do play in this way, although the jp would have cost £40 so it was too late

someone forced after me and got the £42 from it though

.

Regarding the horses i think i may start to increase my stakes, i normally just bet on 2nd or 3rd fav if decently priced which normally sees me fairly well. I was thinking this was just luck and to a certain extent it is as there are often 2 or 3 joint for 2nd fav and for me its just luck whether or not i pick the right one as i dont wtudy or nothing, at least not yet anyway

the way to win on the horses is to only play on the Virtual in the Corbetts, the 20/1 and 16/1s fly in i am yet to see the favourite or below a 5/1?

weird

yeah i gotta say, when a portman park or some other virtual race comes on big prices win all the time, the problem is though picking the right one

sometimes 66-1's even come in

Trust me this is not the case.

It is a simple system. The result is drawn at random similar to the lottery.

E.G Say there was a 5 runner race with an Ev money fav and a 20/1 outsider the draw machine would have the following balls in it:

30 balls for the favourite
8 balls for the second fav
.
.
.
1 ball for the 20/1 outsider.

Therefore the chances of the favourite being drawn in first place are high and the chances of the 20/1 outsider being drawn in the top 2 is very slim.

Darren, backing 'all' 2nd or 3rd favs would return a big loss but if you can pick out the winners then good on you!
