Sorry I've ended the world for you more than once... My most usual strategy lately has been either going in after the blink has been idle for a bit and sometimes they are never idle. But going in and taking the last tickets up to half, so i'm taking what others have left behind. I figure the collective bad luck of the others will be worse than my own personal bad luck.

The other strategy I use is to start blink and buy 75% of the tickets as quickly as I can. I only do that when my luck has been going well, exceptionally well, and usually only until I take a loss. In that strategy, it takes 3 wins to almost break even for one loss. Three losses in a row with that is disastrous.

Well, I hope you get rich, at least once in a while.

And I respect that standup kind of issue resolution.

Goo luck to you, Buddy.

Over 400 promo blinks played and so many times I've been 1 point away from a win. How do people manage it?

Play more.
Law of large numbers says that on average you'll win once every 235 blinks. Notice I say "on average" because they (the wins) don't come exactly once every 235, but rather they're random throughout. Meaning that out of 4700 played promos, you'll win about 20 times but that might as well be twice in first 100 then none for 800 blinks then again three times within next 50 blinks, etc.

How do I manage it? I don't look at "My Blinks" because how close I was is irrelevant. 1 away or 200 away is exactly the same thing.

You will still receive your prizes. However, as you helpfully pointed out, you scammed in our channel and got instantly banned, and are banned from Blink.

While I would like to be, I am not omnipotent nor omnipresent. I am sorry you were not banned quickly enough for your liking and that it took 30 minutes after you tried to scam in our channel.

I am not sure about the second half of your question. You are asking why you got banned for scamming?

Your scam linked to this character to try to get people to deposit to it, and you own this character. You as a person are banned from Blink and our channel, not some specific character.

Correct. Eve is real; scams have consequences.

Did you really ask why your main got banned from the channel because your alt got banned also?
Perhaps because they're trying to prevent you from scamming again.
You should consider yourself lucky for getting your pending prize still paid out. I know that if I was somer, I wouldn't have done it at all.

Hello Somerset Mahm. I have mailed you a few times now. I share an internet connection with another eve player. Will SangDo is not owned by same person as Clint MacCallister. I would like to help verify this any way I can. It appears to you that I have 2 accounts. I have only 1 Somer Blink account. I really enjoyed your game. Please resolve this issue.

Still waiting on a response. Now my flatmate is playing Somer Blink because I mentioned the confusion to him. Not fair. Please fix this already.

I've been on blink, dropping all my ISK for a couple of years now. It's still as great of a time win or lose as it was when I started. To see the site continue to expand and the lotteries to continue growing and expanding for every landmark celebration shows the effort still being put forth by SOMER and staff to make this the BEST lottery in the history of Eve. Cheers to everyone @ SOMER and looking forward to the continued growth as we draw closer to two-quad ! ! !
