As your amount of gambling reaches toward infinity, your wallet moves closer toward zero.

I have little trust in any gambling activity, the fact is the house always wins(incase of Somer Blink, there is a great plausibility of shill characters in that system). You may win a few prizes here and there, but most of the time you're better off buying the items with the money you spent on gambling.


Regardless of any luck and or rigged system I've been keeping a steady positive via careful and disciplined playing of the system - its a fair amount of effort for so-so rewards but most people with a mixture of skill, discipline and a workable system that keeps the odds as high as possible in their favor can make more than they lose from systems like blink (or atleast know when to walk away). They make their money because most people just aren't that disciplined and the site is very cleverly designed to encourage people into taking chances even when they know better.

You can win a lot in somer if you are smart and control yourself... keyword.. achievements.. Get as many as you can.. You will notice as you play more and more the achievements damper off where you start recieving less *free* isk.. personally I stopped after I got the win a ship once a day for 30 days. I won a promo blink of 500m as well. I have come out +3bil and now I only play the remaining tokens I have left on promo blinks.

Somer.Blink recently (Oct 8) gave me 6 PLEX for my helpful forum posting. Giving back to the community as it were.

That and the ships & modules I won, plus the fun I have, make it really hard to not like Somer.Blink

I hate that I always seem to miss promos though!
