    I stick a tenner in on a Friday and that's my lot for the week. What stake should I be spinning at so it actually lasts the evening?

    Smallest the game allows, and pick something that bonuses reasonably often so you get some entertainment out of it. You're buying an evening's fun — treat the stake like that.

    What she said. Entertainment per pound is the only stat that matters at that budget.

    Cheers both. Minimum stakes and a brew it is.
