    Lost my 20 streak on picking lower than a king, turned out to be an ace. Almost had to buy a new laptop.

    It takes making some risky picks usually to get it...I know i went against the grain to get mine, just takes time and effort though (and of course, a lot of luck).

    I'm legitimately confused/concerned that I see players less than 10 days old have the merit and in just a shade under 1500 attempts I haven't gotten it.

Be honest. You would have picked Lower :-)

Do you find yourself clicking on Higher option more than Lower?

I certainly do. High/Low will be a merit I can't wait to get. Very rewarding

Good luck to everyone trying for it :-)

I guessed wrong 2 times when had 24 wins in a row =/
Got it after trying for 11 ish days xD
But yeah as Icey said you need a lot of luck
The worse thing was when it was 3 and I picked higher and I got 2 =/

I panicked when I got to 24 and dealer had an 8, but I guessed right! I would be out on a ledge if that happened to me sorry man!

It took me 6 days to get the merit (got it last week) computer was almost smashed up on a fair few occasions. Then last week I was on hold on a telephone call whilst at work so I thought I would have a go, on my second casino token, boom, 25/25, the guy came back on the other end of the line to me screaming 'f**king get in there, YES!'

I ended up having to call back and sit on hold for ages once again as he had hung up, so worth it

Wow you guys have gotten just as close. It is frustrating

Just think how rewarding it will be getting that merit

I think this is bad for our physical and mental health though ha ha
critch [507888] · #16

I had 20+ on 8 or 9 occasions before I got the merit. It makes sense if you think about it, if it was easy to get 25 then people would make billions from it

this is the thing that made me kill myself IRL that i mentioned in the achievement thread of that jerk Rekker who got it.
Plum_Loco [1326099] · #18

Same here. Driving me mad

And yes, at start till it was tweaked lots of people made tons of cash

You don't want to know how many times I've played high/low for merit ha ha

I would have been counting cards since the last shuffle to improve the odds a little, but having said that losing on a lower call with a J showing is a tough beat.
