Damn dude, that sounds pretty lazy. You missed a whole bunch of bonii. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Does that include casino bonuses, or just poker?

Try to focus more on whoring this year, and less of... well, whatever it is you do.

filthy SLUT! /images/graemlins/blush.gif

cheers!

[JordanIB]

Holy crap. Very impressive.

Please elaborate for us just starting to learn to become proper whores (I've got about $1000 in the last 5-6 weeks).

Hey - I have a new role model!

Any interest in detailing your whoring? Be interested to see how many hands you played, how many hours, how many sites, etc...

Congrats!

[Emmitt2222]

Yes please elaborate and also tell me how you keep going at it because I still have 150 to clear at TGC and I feel like giving up because I have been bonus whoring the whole month and I just want to go back to my nice Party where I feel comfortable.

Bonus whoring can be a grind, no? I have finally hit my stride with it, though - the secret for me was getting a 1600x1200 resolution-capable monitor and 4-tabling whenever possible. Little down/boredom time as you are being continuously dealt hands (~200 or more an hour). Good for 33-year-olds with ADHD.

Thats why Im bonus whoring, to get the 1600x1200 monitor, but the thing that bugs me the most whilst BW is that there is poor table selection on small sites. I also wish I played higher levels than .5/1 to clear them faster. My total for 2004 is $700 btw.

As a rough estimate, you can make about $20-40/hour on poker bonuses if you 4-table microlimits or small buyin NL.

Casino bonuses depend on your risk tolerance. It can be $10/hour if you are timid, or $50/hour if your not.

Do all the recurring Crypto poker bonuses every month, do all the good recurring casino bonuses every month, do the max of every Party/Empire/PokerNow reload you can get your hands on, and hit Paradise/Stars/etc when you have some free time.

Properly bankrolled, with a few nights a week, a few hours a night, you should be able to clear well over $1k a month in bonuses (before counting your poker winnings).

[crownjules]

How much did you start out with (if you only set aside a certain amount of money to BW with)? I'm just starting my BW endeavor with a beginning bankroll of $100, and I hope not to use anymore than that. So far I'm +$250 after one site, so I'll probably be able to BW two sites once I cashout.

[michfan]

My total is poker only. No casino

My bankroll hit $500 in mid January and is was non-stop bonus whoring from there. I averaged 50 hours a month during the year playing 3 tables at a time. Now that Absolute has unlimted bonuses I am clearing a bonus 99% of the time.

My bonus earned per hour was $16 for the year. LAst few months it is around $19

These are the only sites I play:
Party
Empire
Pokernow
Pokerroom
Pokerstars
Paradise
UB
Pacific
Absolute
Interpoker
Carribean sun
Pokerplex
Will Hill
Totalbet
UKbetting
Classic Poker

I started at 1/2 moned to 2/4 and am now 50% 3/6 50% 5/10.
All 6max

Thanks all for a great 2004. Your insight and knowledge made me a lot of $

After the party skins, what are the best poker rooms to bonus whore? Multitabling is not a problem.

Im talking in terms of effort required to clear bonus/actual bonus amount.

[chrisdhal]

I'm not casino averse, I've done quite a few, but haven't done any reloads there. What are the best monthly reloads and such for the casinos?

Hit Crypto mid-month. $300+ total from six sites (InterPoker, PokerPlex, Caribbean Sun, TotalBet, William Hill, UKBetting).

If you 4-table, you can knock out the latter three in about four hours combined. Plex and Sun require 550 total non-raked hands (about three hours of play combined) and then 450 raked hands at Inter (about four hours or so).

All told, you are looking at about 11-12 hours of play...so about a week if you play 2 hours a night, much less if you are a no-good whore. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

They used to be the Crypto casinos. However, the details of those casinos were posted several times on 2+2. Not suprisingly, almost all those Crypto bonuses disappeared the very next month. I started heavily whoring monthly casino bonuses in September, and now the list of good sites is about 1/4 of what it was then.

The hard part with the good casino bonuses is researching and finding them, and getting as much as you can for as many months as you can before it surfaces on 2+2. Once that happens, the bonus is almost always dead the very next month.

[frank_iii]

I think I've just been enlightened.

I had no idea this was possible...I only play party skins and paradise, but will certainly reconsider now.

Wow.

PS: Any word on how this compares to rakeback?

[AncientPC]

Rakeback really depends on what limits you play.

[B00T]

it beats rakeback, especially the Crypto sites.

Hehehe, ok. I'll start investigating /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[lorinda]

How can you have a total with two days left?

Get off your backside and earn some more /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Going to be out of town. I will return refreshed and ready for 2005

[BradleyT]

$27.39 per day = $10,000 per year. Not too hard to obtain at all - cryptos cover 1/3rd of that.

Almost all bonuses beat rakeback. You can most often figure out what your rakeback gives you per hand and what the bonus gives you per hand and compare the two numbers.

[Keith Fellmy]

Well let's see:

Bought 1977 4 spd. Corvette (8000); Verl Horn Pool cue (2100); a two car 1/4 scale R/C drag racing team trailer and all (6500). So I guess 16,600. This is bonuses and winnings. I did end up selling the cue for 2700.

I'm such a whooore.

Your mother must be so proud.

Let's all thank moondog and the rest of the scum who ruin bonuses for everyone.

Holy crap - a $2000 pool cue?

I think I'm around $1500 on all bonuses, not exclusively whoring though. I need to get that new monitor and finish those silly grad classes!!
