    Default Warmed up

    Do you think the vintage machines win more often after you play for a while? I can play for 10 minuts and not hit anything, after that I usually win more than I put in.

    I don't know if the pins have been messed with in the past but I think I win too much for the parlor to make a proffit. It is fun to win but how do you know if the pins are correct.

    for parlor use - if your losing - yes they're set right, if your winning - no

    other way around for home use.

    I find it takes me about 5 minutes to "warm up" to any given machine. I think that with trial and error, we find the sweet spot on the machine, whether vintage or modern.

    if you're winning that much, it doesn't sound like it parlor set, or you kushigi would be by to bend the nails closer... but for home use, it's more fun to win more.

    being a game of chanch i dont believe in the its warming up or its a cold machine today

    i think its the user geting the feel of the shooter and puting the ball in the sweet spots

    the machine is going to pay based on its average and what the pin placement is set

    IMHO for whats it worth

    Hehehe, you know what ? I read something somewhere that rang true on a deep level ... IMHO is IMO ... There's no H ... It's Yoda-esque ... "No, try not: DO or do not. There is no try."

    Any O I've ever given was always IM, but never H ... LOL ... Whenever I flash my O, it's never so I can be considered H ... That may be a little too coded, but I've always taken O's for O's ... H notwithstanding.

    The plain truth. An opinion is an opinion ... "Humble" has nothing to do with the opinion ... You agree or you don't agree ... The state of mind of the person, humble or extrovert, doesn't matter one whit to what they just proclaimed.

    An opinion is an opinion, nothing more or less based on the mood as it's presented.

    IMHO

    I think its better to have a humble opinion as apposed to sounding like an azz and sound like your stating facts

    and once again IMHO every one that reads text is geared towards the negative and it is very easy to offend some one when your asking a question or correcting someones misinformation..

    a little humility is not a bad thing???

    now back to the thread at had

    how do u know its right?? if a ball will pass threw then its at least close.. there is a tool u can buy.. its literally a pachinko ball on a stick to check your gaps

    IMHO - I think the each machine's shooter has it's own strength settings (adjustable) and therefore it's a matter of getting a feel for the machine before you begin winning.

    IMWO (W=wife) - Some are just better than others! She kicks my butt at all the games! So IMWO the machines are static, the players improve with time.

    IMO (W not withstanding) - I just suck at playing and it's all a game of chance!

    Big picture, though ... Opinions are all personal.
    When requested, they are still yours.
    When given without request, they are still yours.
    Humble ... This occludes itself ...
    Truly, if anyone is humble, they don't offer opinions ... ever ...
    Humble is a property of being introverted ... When someone gives any opinion of anything, there's nothing humble about it.

    Think about it and offer your "humble" opinion if I am wrong ,,, Haha ...
