Compared to the last event this one is really meh yes. This plus Banana Island don't fitting well with Christmas theme (I know that's the point but I don't like this lack of Christmas spirit here).

And how I bet. It's super easy. I just wait a bit and bet all on the boat with the higest % of bets. Japanese seems really acurates on this and I almost always win. So... yes. It's not really fair. But who's care since it works.
