A little touch on way home from work!

**cuyber** · 23rd January 2006, 07:36 PM

Popped in a relativly new bookies on way home, thought they had a getting ziggy in there. Well the machine was gone and they now have a xrated. I could not remember reading here if it could be forced but know the machine resonably well as its in my local and thought i would give it a go.

Started with a £5 double (£32,50 back)then hit the machine.Within a £5 got on the board twice numbers holding, nothing major. Another £5 tried to gamble up on the numbers on the board, got 4 shots, last was a £10 tried to gamble with the hi/low and lost. Changed another £5 spot and got on the board 6 steps for £25 and hit another £25 repeat. 3 spins later held 2 red x,s for the 3rd to come in and got a £5 on cash multiplier. £5 in the roulette and came away with £40.

All in all a great half hour.

Just 1 question, did i force it, or was i lucky, wasnt sure if it could be forced and would like to know for future reference.

Right time at the right place 6 steps for the top board doesnt come along very often! and can cost over £100 to force when not playing right..

But giving 4 shots is a clear indication the m`c is due, but all in all a good result...... offering the red xxx could have meant it still had a bit left,they can give a £100 streak easy.

It can however be extremely dodgy and be offering 4 shots from the start and still suck £100 giving a flat £25 sending you back to square one minus £75... be careful

I usually just take the tenners until it stops flying, unless it is running very well, as has been said, it can avoid the top for ages, sometimes get 50 for about 8 using the tenners method.

Cant see it! if its offering 4 shots and over every board no way a £100 suck would happen.......although if it randomly gave 4 shots and then back to 1 or 2 yes this could mean the m`c was on the take......plus if you actually gain the top board, very rare would this be a flat £25....warning over

yeah thats a good result indeed. Ive had the same sort of thing happen on a number of reds on occasion.

I ended up forcing an x-rated the other night, got £50 from £10 rpts then £75 top about £40 later and ended up forcing again as it was still offering number runner (middle button didnt work so i couldnt use it 'wisely' even though JP was on)

still ended up well on top in spite of forcing yet again after that for the sake of it after getting hit with one of there traditional sucks

If you catch the back end of a streak it can still offer the 4 shots....try forcing one of those out! I've done it on a DNA. Cost me well over £50 to get the top which only went for £25. You'd have to be quite unlucky to have that happen though, and i think that's only the second time it's ever happened to me.

Matt i know its not bullet proof but 4 and over shots regular is a certain force.......with nice results 95% of the time.....

Its really disappointing having any red go for a flat £25 especially one that usually goes for tons more, makes ya feel all cheated inside

LT and SKR were the best as the Streak in those to I have on a few occasions now ran for £90+ usually to £120 or £110 it really is a unreal streak theese reds have.

But then again the ammount of times I have forced a Red from offering £4+ only to put £100+ in and get a flat £25 with a £5er for my afters

Crazy Cobra I remember offered £25 off a few boards so I forced after losing the gamble on a Jack, and it kept giving the open the board and when I was close I would die and be given a £10 win and left chasing the next board.

That took a hell of alot of money in the end I had to build the bank by recycling and hoping a skill came in for 12 nudges and a nice £25 but ended up £45 down.

Thats gambling though hay
