Sure Win Cup January 2015.
In July's tournament, I won 175 euro on my Blackjack Ballroom account after finishing 23rd.
In October's tournament, I won a total of 500 euro from three different accounts...my total spend on the tournament was 224 euro so my profit
was 276 euro (approx. £220 as the exchange rate was roughly 80p to the euro)
Golden Lounge, 64th place, 50 euro
Blackjack Ballroom, 16th place, 200 euro
Phoenician Casino, 8th place, 250 euro
And so onto January's tournament.....where I am hoping to match/better my October results.
Pic 1 - Challenge Casino account. 36th place. Won 100 euro.
Pic 2 - Dash Casino account. During my 2nd continue of 4, I hit a double 5OAK of the blue jockey, both with wild. That alone got me 96,000
points. That one spin on its own would have ensured a top 100 finish (100th place, IIRC, got somewhere around 95,000 - there were 85 scores
of 100,000 or better). In the end, I got 15th place, good for a win of 225 euro.
Pic 3 - Casino classic account. I get a free spins round, during which I get an absolute beaut. A 5OAK of the blue jockey with wild. 192,000
points. And that catapulted me into the tournament lead. But this happened on Tuesday at around 1pm. There was still a good 5 days and
12 hours left to go. I knew (based on scores that won previous tounaments) that I wouldn't hold onto the lead, but I was hoping to finish
in the Top 7.
Pic 4 - I eventually lost the tournament lead late on Thursday night/early Friday morning. And then dropped to 3rd late on Friday night. I really
expected to drop further as I anticipated an "activity surge" on the final 2 days. There was also the fact that starting and continue coins were increased for this tournament (15,000 to 17,500 and 7,500 to 10,000 respectively). And the number of continues per rebuy was also increased
from 3 to 4. But the surge of big scores seemed to be in the 100k to 125k range. In the end, I did hang on to finish 3rd, good for 300 euro.
Total spend on the tournament - 196 euro
Total winnings from the tournament - 625 euro
Profit - 429 euro (approx. £322 as the exchange rate was roughly 75p to the euro)
Next time...a surge of good results means January ends on a high note.
