So Victor Blom won nearly a million dollars?Makes a change as we are usually reading he has done the opposite and is a million down.I think the same goes for Kibler Melby who also has massive swings but I am sure these type of players get used to it.

Another news with Viktor Blom, of winning money, next week will see other news but this time with Viktor Blom with losing money, this kind of news for my opinion do not give such a interest or give a thing for the players here or any others, beside the pros that fave him on the tables. He was huge profit one week, and the next have a huge down, is a roller coaster, and that kind of players just play for the fun, the money is just a detail, that helps they pass time and stay with her friends on the table or skype or other places.

The great Viktor Blom story goes on!! This guy is a pleasure to read about but we have seen this so many times over the last couple of years that you know we will be reading about him losing a million shortly, long may he continue!!
He is breaking even on these things, his real money is made on the sponsoring and rakeback deals IMO. Especially when his endorsement all the time used as a marketing tool by Amaya - so his win/loss ratio pretty much means nothing but we barely scratching what is really happening at the back when it comes to these deals.
