Back to Betfred today. I have had a decent run at Hot Streak and enjoyed playing somewhere different. It was nice to have an overall decent result there this time, and I will leave the balance there to continue with shortly. For now though, I fancied some of the games that I could play at Betfred, and as usual I have stuck to a lot of them on the top RTP setting.

I know that this is correct long term approach, but it certainly isn’t foolproof. I saw the evidence at the start today, getting off to a ridiculously bad start. Indeed it was the 6th game I attempted that finally rewarded me with a bonus! At this point I was £328 into the bonus hunt, more than several recent videos have cost in their entirety. Some days it just goes like this no matter what you try, and there is very little you can do about it.

I soldiered on and in the end have managed to get a reasonable collection together, albeit at a serious price. I am well over £600 in for this lot, and to be honest I don’t think there is much chance of recovery at all. It will be one of those days where I am happy to limit the damage, knowing full well that on a bad set of bonuses I will not even get half of it back.

There is one potential saving grace – Eternal Phoenix is on the list. Should I successfully gamble that to 30, then I might just have a chance…

Here is the full list of games attempted, along with their respective costs:
