Default Chasing a SNG 6-in-a-row bonus - help with strat plz!

ok so it's on a euro site. various bonuses corresponding to the stakes.

6-seater sng's..

$20 + $3.50 (rake/fee) sng's - win 6 in a row for a $25,000 prize!

however... each week it doesn't get won $10,000 is added. this week it is $45,000.

they are also doing a $100,000 bonus for winning 6 x $100 6-seat SNG's consecutively but these are too high for my BR.

so anyway.. obv the rake is v high... but it pays for the bonuses when someone finally wins them LDO. but tbh... i have made a decent profit without winning the jackpot so the rake doesn't concern me.

i had a streak of 3 tonight but then broke it. i currently have 2 wins in a row. oh... and they also do a consolation prize of $300 for 6 x top 2 consecutive results.

my question is... how does one go about this? time of day? multi-tabling? player notes?

it's been a while since i grinded SNG's but this bonus is just ridiculous compared to the $23.50 buy in.

obv collusion is an idea.. but in their terms and conditions they warn against it etc.

any ideas to do this? ty ty

get your friends to play in them w/ you. Just say you want a friendly "home game" online, then they dump to you as you're the best player and earned the chips.

yeah obv i realise the rake is big. the donks won't.
obv the rake pays for the jackpot bonus as sites like money.
but as i said... i have made a steady profit today while chasing this jackpot so tbh i am not feeling the rake although i am obv paying it.

this isn't the Bad Beat Jackpot - there is skill involved.

anyway... my OP was really jumbled so i am sorry.

basically... has anyone seen promotions like this before?

apart from playing your normal winning 10% ROI sng game... is there another strategy? i think i can still play my best with 4 sng's going at once so i'll try them in sets of 4 tomorrow.

not sure what else but i am determined to crack this nut. the $25,000 jackpot is insane.. but $45,000 for this week? on a soft site? with nothing scheduled in my life this week? LOL i have to try!

I would play at another site or at regular sngs. From what I have heard they may not pay if you win six in a row, accusing you of collusion instead. Even with the huge top prize, it probably isn't worth changing your strategy until you have won 2 in a row at least and probably 3 in a row.
Also the probability of winning six in a row starting from nothing if you are a 20% winner is .000064.

A friend of mine won this awhile ago for $40k.

In my last 2.5k 10 man sngs my largest winning streak has been 3 games (twice)
