Not forcing

**Cunchy** · 3rd October 2007, 04:20 PM

Gents etc.,

Lots of posts on the forum in general about forcing machines by refusing wins and holding out for a streak etc.

Not being a regular player I just wondered if anyone makes money out of just taking small wins and then walking away (the opposite of forcing?). Suppose you'd need a small 'free' win, which I've heard rumours of on some machines in previous posts.

To be honest, unless you know something on a machine, you're not going to make much on machines now, whether you force it or not.

The £25jp BFM were sometimes good for collecting wins and building a bank, whilst other manu's were good for forcing.

On the £35jp machines, you can get stung pretty badly and often the best outcome is to plough £80 in for a £105 streak- for the times when you can get a flat £35 streak after putting £80 in, I think you're best just collecting wins at times...

Just try a couple of quid and if playing well from the off and backing then just take a few wins, you'll probably make £15 without havig to put £80 in and take a chance forcing it...

Cath,

Some machines often (but not always) tend to be good for banking given the current state. For example, alot of Bellfruits, even going back to about 6 years ago are generous for banking (ie: LOTR, Bullies Prize Board + clones), and a few crests (cash attack), and a few of the latest offerings (Bucks Bunny) and Monopoly.

Alot of red £5'ers are great in kebab shops for offering £4.40, bank, next board collect a decent feature, bank, even if its only a £2 win, you will reap the benefits after a while playing, with £5'ers though, once you see a streak of bank wins, and then it starts costing £3+ for a board, its time to bail...

Cashing out is a superb anti-force answer for the manu's, not many doing it yet though...

That's total rubbish. Come to Teesside one weekend and I'll show you.

Cashing out is a problem nowadays, back in say the days of Pacman and Tetris people found a way around Collect Prize, but then people simply Hi/Lo'd the wins. The problem with the new machines seems to be the fact you have to gamble the wins and if you lose you pretty much have to exchange unles you take the win?

Yeah i don't really agree with the cashing out problem either. It's only takes a tiny bit of nous to get around. I'm also with mr 1056688....there's still plenty to be made nowadays. I make as much now as i've ever done.

In fairness when I said you won't make much unless you know something, I very rarely go out and play them. Only ever have a quick dabble if in the local pub...

I think my point is valid though from the BB example.

Backing and playing so well- offering good cash pots and and I ran out of money after throwing £80+ in and sometiems they do a flat £35.

I've played a full BB since and collected a few wins, put about £20 in and built up a bank of £60- so that is £40 up without forcing- that's better than the average profit you will make forcing one that is 'ready' to go...
