If you are very averse to the risk, you can figure out the minimum hourly rate you will accept to play for the bonus. Pick a dollar bet size that will clear your bonus fast enough to make that rate, and no more than that.

I think this is pretty much the way to go, then you can see if your roll supports that, given the expected risk of ruin, and see if you want to play.

If the risk of ruin is super-low, and you're willing to accept more risk, then you can run the calculation again at a higher hourly rate. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you come up with a small enough bet size, you can make more money per hour with less risk by working at McDonald's, and you'll get free fries, to boot.
