Busted out in 42 hands on $5 blackjack - that makes it 0 for 5 on bonuses here.

Edit: If a mod could move this to Internet Bonuses I'd appreciate it a lot

I've had bad luck the last few months on LW, Inter and WH - I get too bored to bet $1 or $2 and start using Martingale to get back to even and end up busting (well busting with the casinos money and then cashing out my own)

I can't believe anyone tries to clear the intercasino bonus and doesn't play pontoon. That game is so great.

Last month I went $90 -> $450 /images/graemlins/grin.gif with $5 bets and then $10 bets.

11-02-2005, 04:48 AM
Put in my $90, cashed out $250. Quick and easy.

$15 flat bets, busted out 1/2 way into clearing the bonus. Higher speed=variance of course, but I'm giving this method a try now.

most of the time I just deposit, and check my balance, only to see that my withdrawl amount includes both my bonus and my deposit. I simply withdrawl and haven't played there in like 4 months.

I stick with $1-$2 bets on most BJ bonuses. I do it usually while 3-tabling poker, so it generally isn't so bad. Obviously, the risk of busting out is much lower if you can bear the boredom of doing it this way. It hasn't bothered me too much yet.

last month i busted out with only about 1/2 of the WR done. will i have to work off last month's WR before workign off this month's? or does last month's WR dissappear when i bust out?

also, what is the WR for these again? i know the bonus is 90$, but i cant remember the WR off the top of my head.

it's 25xB, so $90 requires $2250 WR to cashout.

I've been doing this one all year flat betting $5 BJ on a $300+$90 deposit, takes just over one hour to clear. ran it close to $500 this month but ended at $375. at least better than small losses the past two months.

I like how people say things like "I made like lots of money at pontoon, it's better than blackjack, lol."

Pontoon is a better game but it isn't because of your upswing this month.

Intercasino Blackjack HA = .49%
Intercasino Pontoon HA = .17%

That's all you need to know.

In the 1.5 years that I have been doing this I go this route.

I bet all 90 on one hand. If I win, I do it again.

If I win I have $360, then I start to bet $10-$20 a hand on 5 hands at once.

Usually (11 out of 15 times) I bust nearly immediatley.

The other 4 I won between $900-$2200.

Why do you deposit $300? With $5 betting, it would seem like too much of your own money is at risk (unless I read your post wrong).

the EV of the 25xB, $90 bonus playing blackjack is about +$80 regardless of my deposit and bet size. whether it is my money or "their" money being bet in the process doesn't technically make any difference.

Pussy's I play $25 a Hand Jacks Or Better with $90 casino money and $90 of my own, this is the best way, because as soon as you lose the $90 of your own it clears the entire winrate for next month. I was upto $600 half way thru the winrate, and still managed to bustout. One month i'm going to hit a royal and be laughing.

Is this a regular occurrence? The bug may possibly have bitten me this month too, and I'm wondering if it will screw up future months (like double WR or something) or if I should just enjoy my free $90?

Yea now I have a problem.

My "girlfriend" got bit by the E-Cash bug a few times, and I had to whore the old fashioned way this month on her acct.

I ran the total up to $1000 after depositing and withdrawing $90. I now have a withdrawable balance of $100 and $1000 regular balance. Do I have do some ungodly amount of WR now to get this whole thing withdrawn? I martindaled up to $1000 and now have no idea what to do. I def cleared $2500 worth of bets.

Do I just keep playing until more gets released? I never had a big win before /images/graemlins/confused.gif

create a new account. They don't care. You'll get a new pin. Don't forget to get rb.

Now, before anybody wants to get cute and open x amounts of accounts: You'll get only one bonus per household/per computer/per month.

I find it interesting that many people in this thread are happy when their bonus has the glitch that allows them to withdraw immediately. While I admit that $89 for the 3 minutes it takes to move the money around is a pretty good hourly rate, I would never withdraw JUST the $89.

Personally, I really enjoy playing Pontoon. Its just about the only thing I do that's risk free all month. Additionally, its mindless, which is a nice change as well. Its fun to play the game, and its fun to gamble it up.

I always play this bonus more aggressively and go for a bigger score. In the months I have done the bonus, I average well over $89 per month, including the months I bust out. In the interest of full disclosure, I've only done the bonus 5 or 6 times now, which admittedly is not that many, but I think I should be entitled to say something before I do the bonus in 10,000 different months.

I have never checked to see if I get the auto clear. Nor will I ever do so. It took me all of 45 minutes to clear the bonus this month. Again. I can't beat the $89 / 3 minutes win rate, but mine was pretty good, and I made well over $89.

Anyway, this isn't meant as a criticism of people who opt to withdraw. I just thought I'd express my opinion, since no one else in this thread seems to feel that way.

I may leave it there until next month and start over. I may W/D and count it as less of a loss. Or I may sit down and try grinding back to profit - knowing full well that it is $100 to lose.


Caribbean is next, 12K WR is a royal pain in the ass. Definately not worth it, but when I getup early, I go after these.

BY THE WAY - I bet $3 a hand, $5 after each win. (same chips on Will Hill)

Once I get up a compfortable amount, I change plans --

$3-3-5-7-10-15-20-25, then 3-6-9-9-15-24, (pushing the previous 2 wins). There are times, I will hit a $15 win and start over at $3. Just avoid Tilt! Never bet more than the plan.

A few people love signing on, betting the $90. Win, play and play. Lose, go home even. I just enjoy working for a few hours to increase the bankroll.

well my own update if anyone cares...I just kept playing and after 5 mins I had a withdrawlable balance of $280 so I figured that the "Ecash bug" just made me owe a few more months worth of WR to clear more.

I bummed around bettin $50 3 hands at once of regular BJ. Ran it up to $3463 and then checked the cashier once again. Sure enough $3463 was the withdrawlable limit so just withdrew again.

Money hit Neteller within 12 hrs as well. Not a bad start to November. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

You could simply think of Pontoon as Blackjack, with slightly different rules. It's basically the same objective though. See this thread. (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Number=3849313&amp;an=0&amp;page=0#Post 3849313)

I'm a video poker junkie, JoB to be specific. There... I said it. I know it's slightly -EV but I figure with as much as I drink I've got to be at least breaking even with the comps+drinks the casinos give me. I'd like to find a full pay machine on an online site. The $90/mo bonus makes full pay less neccesary.

1) Is there any sort of rakeback deal for intercasino considering I will never play poker there and will only ever play VP?

2) VP does clear the 20x bonus, right?

3) Since I don't know the answer to #1, how's the pay schedule for JoB?

4) Which game is so much better than JoB there that I should learn the correct strategy?

Thanks all.

Usually (11 out of 15 times) I bust nearly immediatley.

The other 4 I won between $900-$2200.

EV wise, your strategy is slightly better than flat betting $1.

WR = $2250. Say on average your busting out saves you $1000 on wagering. Then the difference between your aggressive strategy and flat betting small amounts is $1000 * 0.17% = $1.7 You did the bonus 15 times. That's $1.7 * 15 = $25.5

Notice that Pontoon's extremely low HA actually works AGAINST you.

I know your actual profit over flat betting EV is much higher than $25.5. But it's just variance. Just like the other poster, you won a lot more because you got lucky not because your strategy was that much superior than the mundane $1 a bet strategy.

Of course your hourly rate is much higher. But it also requires a much bigger bankroll.

11-06-2005, 03:57 PM
Not full pay. Even though it's 9/6 for JoB, four of a kind only pays 20 instead of 25 and a straight flush only pays 40 instead of 50. Translates to about one full bet every 1000 hands. Still a good way to clear the bonus if you want to play it anyway. 10 hand, 5 coin $0.10 is 450 chances to hit a $400 royal! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

... still dreaming of the dealt royal on a 10 hand VP machine.
