Sportingbet.com Poker
 
I was refferred to this site last night as a good first place to go for a $100 bonus. My account is funded and I'm ready to go. Anybody have any experience here to know what its like at low limits (.10-.20 / .25-.50)?

Expect everyone to see every flop.
Expect AA to basicly never hold up as someone will always have a freaky 2 pair or impossible straights.

I just had a guy cold call 4 bets with 47s, I have AKh and the flop comes TJQ, 2 spades. Me and another guy caps every street and he hits his sucky flush on the river. These things happen over and over and over. If it wasn't for the bonus I'd leave yesterday. Not to mention their software sucks donkey balls.

See you there (at least until I clear the bonus)

Re: Sportingbet.com Poker
 
Something is fishy about this site.
In 3 hours I have seen atleast 20 flops where a pair flops.
In 3 hours I've had atleast 15 flush draws and one hit, and was beaten by a boat on the river.

Yeah I know I'm whining, but damn this place sucks.

I did pretty well there IIRC. I moved on to bonus whore somewhere else and to get my ECD points. Lots of loose players there as others have said.

Re: Sportingbet.com Poker
 
Someone said they called on every flop just to clear their bonus -are u guys doing this???? Seems like a good way to lose money even at .10-.20

Sportingbet is on the Boss Network, the games are super loose even at 5/10. Good site to whore since the bonus is 100 dollar for a min 30 dollar deposit. There's a few other worthwhile sites on the network, Casino.Net, Fortune Poker, King Solomon's. Some allow rakeback, some have bonuses. Make sure you check the terms and conditions of the bonus though, some are tougher than others.

No Pokher I believe was saying limp everything if you can PF at the real micro limits as the bonus more than makes up for it.

I could see opening up but would feel weird going to that extreme.

lol!
Let me just give a warning. If there are 3 of the same color on the table, someone WILL have a flush, always.

I mean, obviously I slow down when I see 3 of the same color, but usually someone doesn't have a flush. Sometimes they do, most of the time not. Here there is always someone with the other 2. Amazing!

Re: Sportingbet.com Poker
 
Hi guys,

So sportingbet.com is interesting. Many people to the flop, If you take my bonus clearing method ONLY FOR THIS SITE AND CASINO.NET BONUS CLEARENCE. Then we'll be joining them.

First my disclaimer.
I assume you know basic poker/Preflop/Post flop strategys so im simply making this clear.

We will be playing all our hands preflop, Now this may seem crazy but its 10cents per hand, 500hands.

Assuming you lost everyhand or folded after the flop you'll come out with $50 aprox. Now sometimes you'll flop flush...quads...trips...sets....straights. You'll go to SD and win. Everyone thinks you a jackass so they wont fold to you. Even more cash.

BUT I MUST EMPHASISE THIS POINT. PREFLOP WE PLAY LIKE A FISH, POST FLOP WE PLAY LIKE WE DO AT OUR NORMAL GAMES(TAG).

How i cleared the bonus
<ul type="square">[*]Play 100%VPIP Pre flop.[*]Do NOT COLD CALL RAISES(Unless AA/QQ, Premium hands of course).[*]Raise premium hands, Play them as usual. [*] Once bonus is cleared, You will leave and head to Casino.NET.[/list]
Now i know the majority of guys dont like this, They think it teaching guys to play like fish. This is why i am constantly emphasising the fact YOU FOLD POST FLOP IF YOU MISS OR DONT HAVE POT ODDS TO CONTINUE.

YOU PLAY YOUR STANDARD POST FLOP GAME BUT play 100% VPIP PREFLOP!(That means play every hand preflop).


I know some guy posted saying hes play there for 14hours? I dunno how much he won or lost but i'd rather leave the site after 3 hours with $50 - $100 than leave after 14Hours with maybe 150 or bankcrupt.

I cleared both bonuses, I followed the rules i listed and left sportingbet.com with $115, I left casino.net with $88 PROFIT.

I deposited $40 at each site initially($10 at each table when 4xtabling).

Good luck,
any questions drop msg's on my AIM: POKhERLH

They just removed the 0.10/0.20 tables.
Lowest table is now .25/.50. Atleast for limit.

Well ok, I admit I was whining. I was having the worst streak ever and I know better than to post it here &gt;&lt;

Lesson learned.

They have? I'm not aware of this, I will login through gala later on as they are offering a similar bonus.

If this is the case the clearence of 100%VPIP at.25/.50 would be .25cents*500 = -$125

This bonus may be fairly useless although it still beats PARADISEPOKER 50% Bonus(1000 Raked .25cent hands = Crap).

Re: Sportingbet.com Poker
 
I did ok last night - basically breaking even and clearing 40 hands in about an hour. . .
So tonight I go back and there are no .10-.20 tables. Anyone know what's up?

Sigh, I finally jump on the bandwagon and go for my big fat bonus and no more .10/.20! Bah!


Edit: Okay I lied there is one 5 max .1/.2 table and I'm number 8/10 in the wait list.

I don't understand people complaining about how fishy this site is. It amazes me. This is EXACTLY what I would want in a site. I cleared Casino.net's bonus (same network) at .5/1 and 1/2 and all of the players playing crap hands were a gold mine. I got a $100 bonus plus an extra $400 profit.

HOW CAN THIS BE BAD???


1)STOP WHINING.

2)LEARN TO PLAY GOOD POKER.

3)ADJUST TO THE GAME.

4)RAKE IN CASH.

EASY.

This is how I cleared casino.net over the weekend. I played 95+% of my hands (folded junk to raises). The players are bad enough postflop that I finished ahead $6 at $.10/.20 after a little over 500 hands for $106 profit including bonus. It took about 4-5 hours 2-tabling 5-max.

If they really have shut down the $.10/.20 5-max tables, they've closed a lucrative loophole that I wasn't finished exploiting, since I hadn't done Sportingbet yet. I don't know if the players at $.25/.50 are as bad, but I may find out in the next couple of days.

10-13-2005 10:48 PM

Re: Sportingbet.com Poker
 
Has anyone spoken to a Sporting bet CSR or cleared the bonus since they removed the .1/.2 tables? I want to know if I can still clear bonus at the one .1/.2 five max table.
