Same Spot Style or Different Spot Styles (1 Viewer)

[Tommy]

For a tourney set, do you prefer the spot style to be the same on all the chips or do you prefer that each denom have different spot styles?

 

[RichMahogany]

I’m fine with either but I always design tournament mock ups with the same spot pattern and voted that way

 

[CantSpellPoker]

Fine with either, but i think if forced to choose, I’d say I prefer a “progression” on a tourney set.

I definitely prefer identical spots in cash sets.

I’m fine with either. My set has a progression. If I order another set, it will probably have the same spot pattern

 

[navels]

the correct answer is: one set of each

 

[liftapint]

the correct answer is: one set of each

The correct answer is: lots of each

I mean, why limit yourself!!??

"Always use the same spot style, unless they are different." I'm pretty sure that's a direct quote from the Old Testament somewhere. Leviticus?

You are mistaken, friend. That verse is in II Oscillations 5:18. It's apocryphal, but still a good read.

On clay chips i prefer the same spots, on plastic chips like Matsui i think i like the different spots.

 

[Beakertwang]

I like simple, consistent spots on tourney sets, or solids.

For cash, go crazy!

I prefer different spots most of the time. It makes telling what chips are in pots and stacks easier.

Though some of the monochromatic same spot sets like the Bubs set are incredible!

I'm a same-spot-style on my tourney chips kinda guy.

 

[Beakertwang]

Not exactly spot progression, but I mocked this up, inspired by @Chbyfngr's One Out set. I love the oversized big denoms, with 4 spots rather than 3.

Heh.... I'm a "yes/no" on same spot style.

Generally I like the same spot style (though not color) on all tourney chips; however, I'm not against a more elaborate style for maximum/color-up chips.

Here's my current design for a small 10-man cpc tourney hotstamp set I may do:

Denoms would be 25, 100, 500, 2000.

I prefer different spot styles on tournament chips. I think it helps with telling the different denominations apart.

 

[WedgeRock]

Tournament chips are solid, no? I don't think spots are allowed on tournament chips...

 

[Perthmike]

I want to say spot progression but then I look at the Olivia’s tourney set and I go back to same spots.

I can’t vote lol

I had the exact same thoughts, including the Bubbs set

 

[arch3r]

Gonna have these produced, someday (I hope)

 

[Gobbs]

Either can look nice...it's whatever you like.

 

[TheBigTater]

I prefer my toilet paper over the top........ oh wait that was another 50/50 poll question......

Abstain

 

[kmccormick100]

Just gonna leave these here

 

[Wick125]

I have sets of both but my customs have the same spot pattern so that must be what I prefer.

 

[Sprouty]

Everytime I mock something up for a tourney set they end up on the same spot pattern.

Nothing wrong with that. I gravitate to 3D14 in almost everything I mock as well.

 

[CdnBeerLover]

I have sets with both. For me, it actually depends on who is playing, as we have one player who is completely colour blind. If he plays, the set with different edge spots per chip is used. Otherwise, it depends on my mood when setting up.

When doing plastics, you can have progressive spots with the same style. For example the Matsui cc600 series.
This is what I would prefer.

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

I like both. Right now my tourney set breakdown is;
2 x solids
4 x different spots
1 x same spot

However, I’ve always been very attracted to same spot sets (Olivia’s, Stardust Mansion, AS hotstamps). I could see adding another same spot set to the rotation sometime.

 

[Mr. Cheese]

Personally I like having spot progression. There are so many different spot patterns out there why limit yourself to one!?

 

[BeesKnees]

Does anybody have any insight as to WHY they would prefer having the same spot pattern?

I get that there is some great sets out there that have the same pattern, but that doesn't mean that they still wouldn't be great if their patterns were different.
