The Lucky Donut

I've been playing promotions with Sporting Index whenever they've offered anything that looks favourable.  These are usually offers to refund your losses if you play a set amount on their novelty games, but I've always come out losing and getting the refund.

If, like today, the requirement is ten bets with a refund of net losses up to £30, I'll usually play an even money bet nine times and then lump whatever I have left on one final no-lose bet for the win.  In what must be close to ten previous efforts (I wrote about a couple of them here and here, and then stopped counting) the bet that matters has always lost.

Not that I'd ever imply that online gambling could be easily rigged, oh no.  Especially not stupid novelty games like "soccer shootout" where a cartoon footballer that you cannot influence kicks a ball at goal a few times and gets awarded points if he scores against a computer-controlled goalkeeper.  The number of points you get is related to where the ball hits the net - just like real life.  Goooooaaaaaallll!  You win, well, let's say six points this time.

Assuming that their roulette game is fair, and forgetting that games of chance don't have a memory, then was definitely owed before I hit a massive £26 profit today.  Nine bets of £2 betting red all the way with four wins and five losses put me in good shape for one last bet... and it came in!
