The BJ games are complete bullshit.

I deposited 200$ and received the 200$ bonus. Playing optimal strategy as outlined on bonuswhores.com, I managed to get broke... Including losing the 200$ deposit. Be wary

I played out the $888 bonus and made about $100 on top of the $88 bonus.

Like they said, sometimes you will bust out. When I played the CON bonus, you only had to wager 2X the bonus (which is $400 total) and I made $20 on top of the $200 bonus.

To test your theory I deposited $25 myself at this site.
I then played one hand of Blackjack for $10. I lost.
So I played another hand for $15. I lost.

Can you believe that [censored]. 2 losses in a row, especially in a game that supposedly has <1% HA.

Hence I concur with your assement.

As someone who dabbled (not to successfully) in cardcounting live blackjack games, I can tell you that blackjack is a high variance game. When it goes sour, it goes really sour. When it goes good, which doesn't happen quite as often, it goes really, really good. The fact that you hit a bad run and busted out before you cleared your bonus is not all that surprising, nor does it necessarily indicat that theres anything wrong with the game. That said, I don't play house banked games online (and rarely live any more), even though the bonuses can make the online games significantly +EV.

I had a $300 downswing yesterday at $5/hand, if it makes you feel better...

Many online casinos can "adjust" the return of their blackjack and videopoker games through manipulation of the deal. Nevertheless, I would be mildly surprised to learn that CON is among those who cheat in this manner.
