Default A lesson in how NOT to clear a blackjack bonus

Deposited $200 into bethedealer for their $200 bonus. Played a few sessions a day for a week, flat betting $5 every time. Somehow built the $400 into over $900 getting the required points and was doing a little bit of cover play because people have said they are quick to ban whores. I was planning to quit the next time I got busted down to $900 and then cash it out. Then at $905, these 14 hands occurred.

$905 - Bet $5
Player - 11-double-14
Dealer - 6-9-14-18

(now obviously I just wanted to get back up to $900 as fast as possible and be done with it)

$895 - Bet $5
Player - 13-stand
Dealer - 5-15-17

(down $10 now? urgh, I don't have time for this... oh well... martingale can't go wrong with THIS much money)

$890 - Bet $10
Player - 13-stand
Dealer - 2-12-19

$880 - Bet $20
Player - 20
Dealer - 3-11-21

$860 - Bet $40
Player - 10-double-18
Dealer - 9-20

$780 - Bet $80
Player - 12-14-stand
Dealer - 3-7-17

$700 - Bet $100 (Max bet for table)
Player - 20
Dealer - 18

(but I couldn't recover my senses and stop here... no no... I'm only one bet away from being "even" again)

$800 - Bet $100
Player - A-7-15-22
Dealer - 10-5

$700 - Bet $100
Player - 11-double-12
Dealer - 6-13-14-17

$500 - Bet $100
Player - 14-24
Dealer - 7-15

$400 - Bet $100
Player - 4-6-16-25
Dealer - 9-13

$300 - Bet $100
Player - 17
Dealer - 10-19

$200 - Bet $100
Player - 10
Dealer - 10-A

$100 - Bet $100
Player - 14-stand
Dealer - 3-10-20

$0

So in short, don't ever be a readily tilting [censored] like myself. NEVER go above the minimum bet under any circumstances. It's the path to certain doom.
