Poker Funding Fifa 12 Habit!

So the break from poker has been pretty decent, feels nice to not be sitting watching TV or out and suddenly think "oh shit i need to put an hour in at the tables" or "fuck sake if i lose another session ill have to drop down in limits". Poker unless viewed totally casually is a commitment which sometimes can be a pain in the arse!

Anyway the point of this post is that the extra time in my life has been consumed by Fifa 12 and its Ultimate Team game, the basic idea of this is that every player in the game is set as a top trump style card and you build the team you want, buying players with coins that you win for matches and tournaments that you play. However with a match victory say getting you 700 coins, it seems a rather impossible slog to afford a player like Messi who currently costs about 1'000'000 coins!!

So basically to bypass having to spend 24/7 trading players for profit or trying to win 1000 games without losing I have resorted to playing poker and withdrawing the money to buy Fifa 12 coins on Ebay! the going rate is £15 for 100k coins I reckon ive waxed about £90 plus maybe a few quid on PSN network cards as well...........pretty sad really all this extra cost for a video game but these are my 4 teams (2 gold, 2 silver)

Nice to know that when i get back to poker if the worst comes to worst i can sell all my teams and have 1 million coins plus which is worth about £100!!
