Mini Bankroll challenge for the weekend

Hey all

Haven't played regularly at Sky for a couple of years, but I got my freebie through the post today and got a £7 bonus to put into my empty account.  It was then I noticed the Primo is now on a Sunday, so I've set myself a little BR challenge for the weekend.  Turn that £7 into £133 in time to buy into the Primo and leave a ton behind.  Not great BR management but should be a bit of fun.

Anyone else come back to SkyPoker with this bonus fancy having a crack at this?

Currently I've spun it up to £31 so we're on the way hopefully.  This challenge is mostly fun but it's also making sure I keep away from the blackjack.

Hope to see you all in the Primo :)

    How many hours can you play?  I think that the DYM tournies will be the best way to go if you can multi-table.  GL

    Probably going to squeeze in 15-20 hours before Primo.  I have been using the DYM so far.  Playing one at a time for a bit so I don't zombie ABC until I've got plenty behind (£70-£80).  Going to continue £11 DYM for a bit :)

    this is my problem with skybet, there should be a button where you can ban yourself from playing certain parts of the website, i know other websites do this and i for one just wish there was an option to ban yoursen from playing sky vegas games, the poker takes care of it self in my opinion!! it does make you laugh though when you hear other players going on about how they receive free chips and other stuff, but me have never received anything from vegas, just the other day i got a letter from sky with free chips written on it but didnt have my username on it, had somebody elses!!

    Thanks for all of the encouragement guys.

    Up to £40 now after a DYM win, but this did include AA v QQ & KK v QQ in my favour so it was a well timed card rack moment for me.

    Good luck tommy.
    You are obviously not a newbie to the game to of increased your BR so much already. Well done so far.
    Keep the forum updated.

    Do i sense a touch of doubt Webby? I too looked and hes not playing, would be nice to know if he blew his balance. If so he can always wait another year lol
