It's not too much of a derail, in all honesty. BdBA is an example of the OP's problem - I have NEVER had a good run on it, despite playing it almost as much as tLOTR. I've won thousands from the latter, but a good run on the former eludes me.
I could argue that BdBA is 'not fairly set' or is cheating, but I just put it down to bad luck with it.

I know what you mean, I've had the same with your favourite LOTR.
That game has been so extremely mean to me in the first 2 months of this year.
'Highlight' was losing a 130.- balance on it playing only 0.30 per spin at Spin Palace.
Could barely make 500 spins (a little over 20% return), no freespins, highest win was 11x bet. Not even enough to trigger the Big Win bells!
And that was just that session, there were many more that were a little, but not much better.

At that point I really thought the game was underpaying or something.
But I've had a whole bunch of nice and some really good hits on it in the past few months, so yes, it was an extreme run of bad luck..

Thats why I am a bit scary to use your 'keep hammering' tactic on it, I did that once and the result was a complete and total disaster, lol..
