Should always be first game starting regardless. This bets origin was in the old Days in Britain when factory workers only had one break so Bookmakers realised that rather than paying out on one Bet, give the man a chance to lose it back.
Of course this works 2 ways and if a punter is methodical enough a good run will maximise winnings. :drink:
