I Won O_O

Holy **** - I never win anything!

Well damn, there goes my only clue of you being a semi young blond with short hair, unless you modeled your avatar after your wife/gf/friend you mentioned.


On the subject of blink, I turned 100 mil into 5 bil a bit ago and am now damn scared to touch it again. I know it's all random, major tinfoilhattery aside, but can't shake the feeling lady luck wants to rake me over the coals for winning for a while.


Anyway, bump for a good service.

Actually, my avatar was created by a friend who is working hard to move from oil painting portraiture to digital portraiture. She was interested in the Eve program for creating avatars and asked if she could use a wedding picture of my wife to create this avatar. There were many limitations with the software and very few poeple would snap their fingers and say, "Damn!, that's a ringer." But fortunately, just by coincidence, I happened to be present for our wedding ! So in this avatar, I can see the close resemblance in may ways. She is 9 years younger than I am, we've been married for 16 years and I'm in the middle prime of my 65th year. So the avatar is a little younger appearing than she was, but she has always been beautiful to me. When we met. I actually thought she was too young for me and below my lower limit for who I would ask out, but a mutual friend encouraged me with the phase, "You'll be surprised!" when I expressed my concern for her age. She looked 28 to me then and I have always accused her not aging a day since then.

And my friend the Nurse was never a girlfriend in that sense of the word. But I would consider her to be the reason I am alive today, Vietnam vets, and perhaps all war veterans have a very special place in their hearts for Nurses who cared for them and who we watched do phenomenal things for others who made it and for those unfortunates who did not. Nurses who slept thru the sound mortar fire, rolled out of cots into trenches when the mortar impacts became too close, greeted their new patients with a reasuring smile and the standard line they often knew was untrue but delivered in a way to subside fear and instill confidence, "You're gonna be ok." to 18-19 year old kids who were still covered with the dirt of the battlefield - well, they cannot escape our view of their hero status.

My wife is a 20 year Army retiree, and her rank when we me met threw me off of her age, too. But she did not join till she was 30 after she ran away from home and a very bad marriage. She was not a nurse, but received a direct commision as a military historian and never worked as one, spending her career working in personel. so it was lucky that we met, because I worked in anti-personnel.

Thank you for admiring the love of my life, well,,,, sorta,,,,,,

And congrats on the good fortune, just never try to bet your way thru a losing streek, conserve your capital if lady luck gets a little bitchy and survive to bet another day, I think Luck only works for about 10-12% of my time. so i'll spend a few minutes looking at the stats page and look at the four numbers which have hit the least (thinking they may be cold, but could turn hot) and looking at the four numbers which have been hitting (thinking they may still be hot but could turn cold). Then I will spend a few minutes seeing what number are actually winning, then bet my shoe size. No forget the shoe size! Anyway, I know that over time, but never know how much time or even if I will live long enough to see it, the hits on the numbers will even out. But I want to go with success, so I keep my eye what is hitting. When I'm energetic and dedicated, I'll even run the winning number into a spreadshit that is always under construction. But never try to bet your way out of a slump - take a break - when you retrn start looking at the numbers afresh and when you think you have three which will work, place ten straight bets and cheap shots using those numbers and see how you do. Can your wins cover your losses? and continue to refine. Rare is when you get a set of numbers which will work for long. Sure, you can pick 4 constant numbers and each one has a 1 in 8 chance, but when all four are in a slump, then you are trying to bet your way thru a losing streak. You can win over time, but can you afford it or live that long? The 16s just don't have enough data to crunch, unless you are very patient and are willing to wait through an hour long rorq for one data point when you could have played 50-75 8tix games. You can make the 16s go faster by starting less expensive ones like the plex or the carrier SB, but if the board has rorq and moros asleep with only half the field taken for 40 minutes, you are not getting the faster moving items introduced. Betting the bigs with lots of tix makes the risk/reward skew very unfavorablly. Take 75% of the chances to win and one loss will take three wins to over come it. That means over the stretch of time we cannot predict, you'll just about break even and a losing streak of 3 or 4 will take a wining streak of 9 or 12 to break even. With the stakes on the bigs, every ticket price is critical - your success with a 10 ticket strategy, that works, will reap huge dividends or the 12 ticket strategy. But every strategy depends on selecting numbers that are being abnormally actively. Every number goes thru a cycle over that unknown period of time where it is abnormally active. Each number has the liklihood of being abnormally active in such a way that is barely noticeable or is a standout which is liable to go from hot to not in one toss.

Good Luck & succes

I've never really won any isk here. pretty disappointing really

Players have won 270 trillion in prizes.

Frequently they sell those back to Somer for more blink credit to continue blinking with, like cashing out poker chips in order to buy token for slot machines.

What are you trying to confirm? It says it on the site. People can pick the ship, isk, or blink credit, whichever they want.

It may be worth you watching the counter on the site. As players win prizes, that counter increases to the value of items won. It is hardly rocket science, even for you I'm sure, to see that the figure would be correct.

Not sure which wannabe / copycat site your main is from, but it is getting quite tiresome watching pillocks trying to stir a sh1t pot that doesn't have sh1t in it.

I feel like I should post here, just too feel important... (and blink is awesome)
