    Best way (possibly) is to put £1 on red AND £1 on black, and hope that green doesn't come up. If/when it does, just stare at the screen till your 5 mins is up.

    Or is there something against that in the brief? Bookies are probably hoping to make the fee back, and will be counting on everyone spending (and losing) a tenner.

    Had a bloody quiet week this week. Here's hoping to more action next week.

    I literally spent 4 mins 30 seconds inbetween games staring at the machine to kill time.

    I'm surprised you got £2 to last THAT long.

    With roulette, you're playing against the odds.

    With roulette on a games machine, you're playing against the odds AND a super whizzy computer designed to fleece you of every penny. You've literally got no chance.

    Did a telephone call for React earlier on this month and got paid for it yesterday. Today got an email that the client rejected the call and that I need to do it again on Monday. I presume I won't get paid for it again of course but suppose I do need to do it for good will purposes. Not sure what the problem with it was as when I listened back to it, it seemed fine but will try again on Monday.

    That would make me cross! It doesn't sound like React have told you why the client rejected the call. If it was me, I'd ring React and find out the reason before doing the job again. React are generally reasonable. If the reason for the rejection isn't your fault, you should get paid for both calls.

    yes, agreed, if you do not what the reason for the error was, how can you avoid doing it again?

    Yes, if it's the blue one I've done that scenario several times. A lot of the time you'll just be speaking to the cashier so most of them are not too time consuming. You just need to get your false name and address sorted out beforehand. I don't give them phone or email, it's just an initial enquiry after all.
