The sticky bonus burn... (NO content)
 

Just did the golden palace sticky bonus.

Deposit $100, get $300(that you can never withdraw)

Played it like I should(?)

Bet all $400 on one hand.
As the odds would have it I lost.

Not a brutal hit to the bankroll, but I prepared myself for it.

Sucks, but its no biggie.

Anyone got anymore stickys similiar to this bonus (I dont expect to see a 300%, but a 150-200% would be nice)

Preferably I would like to hear from someone who has done the bonus (win or lose I dont care).

Thanks again all.

Bet $25/$50 per hand.

Your RoR was insane.

So what? It was only slightly below a 50/50 chance and he bet $100 with a chance to win $400. EV+++++++++++++

Never tried a sticky.

If you should win that first bet of $100, then what's next? Continue to bet $100/hand or....... what is the proper strategy?

The stickys are a ridiculous ROR but a great profit if you make it. I've only tried one so far and managed to cash.

Like the next poster said, if your bankroll is large enough, all you care about is EV, RoR doesn't matter.

Still never bet more than half on one hand as not being able to double does cut in your EV.

If you want to wager everything in one hand, I'd recommend Baccarat or Pai Gow (Though check carefully to see that they are allowed).

These house advantage in these games is much better than blackjack IF you aren't able to split or double.

Betting half of your balance on blackjack until you hit your target is probably a better idea.

I did the same thing with the Golden Palace bonus and was able to cash. I just need to send them my ID's and I'll have a $300 profit ($100 deposit + $300 sticky, won my first bet to get to $800 and then lost $100 finishing up my wagering requirements). There are other casino's in the same group as Golden Palace that include Aspinall's, Grand Online, Flamingo Club, and 24kt Gold. These casinos only have a 200% deposit bonus though.

I have only done Grand Online from that group and tried it the same way, but lost my initial bet. Hope this helps.

There are formulas at the BW forums for sticky bet size and setting a sticky target based on your bankroll. That being said, you can't go terribly wrong by just betting big (less than or equal to half your balance) and going for a big score, assuming your BR isn't miniscule.
