The RNG some days... (Favours: Criminals)

I have Favours:Criminals at 7, I'm waiting for the Opportunity Card "An Implausible Penance" so that I can do 'Pugilism and Politics' and spend all 7 of those at once. (It's part of my current long-term goal. The details are unimportant.)
In my current hand of Opportunity Cards, I have:
1) The Tower of Knifes: Difficulties at a Smoky Flophouse (which provides a chance for Favours:Criminals)
2) The Life of Crime (which provides 1x Favours: Criminals)
3) The Alleys of London: The Criminals (exactly what it says on the tin. Unsurprisingly, it provides 1x Favours:Criminals)
4) What will you do with your Disappointing Marsh-Wolf? (provides 1x Favours:Criminals)
and 5) A little omen (Mood card)
...and I'm seriously considering ditching that last one purely so I can draw another opportunity card - hopefully An Implausible Penance - so that I can empty my hand without wasting the Favours. :-p

Anyone else had similar situations in Fallen London? :-)

Pay for an exploration for the thieves cache.
Also, having renown 20 adds a profetable card which helps lowering favours. I used to achieve 7 favours many times before that penance card showed up - now I lower them by that renown20 card and exploration, if they get too high.

Hooray! But I think Gonen's advice is good in general - there's a chance of a diamond too. Enjoy your strange progression!

OH. Do I have a surprise for you then! You've got free favours waiting for you at the carnival: obviously no use going now since you're at 7, but the meet the criminals storylet in the sideshow tent will provide 1 favour and 3 cp renown up to 5. With that said, definitely don't use the key while you're under 5. And since you are far off 20 it might be worth ditching one of those cards after all..
Also, let me ask a personal question: if you haven't shown the Jewel Thief the curb, he can grant a criminal favour and provide another source for particularly lovely diamonds.

Huh. No idea on that account though I'm not hopeful for you. Ask support?
