I need Sticky Bonus help (advice plz)

[VinnyTheFish]

I made my deposit at an online casino. Once I cash out, the sticky bonus is no longer valid.

I deposited 200, matched 200. I won; played on, played the 4 time requirement and I now have 404 in the account.

Now here my dilemma:

1) Cash out 204 for a $4 profit … run like the wind.
2) Keep playing knowing full well knowing that anything under $400 is now a loss?

I do not mind taking a 100 loss now that I met the requirement. Any suggestions from season casino whores?

note: I did research and checked out many sites, but I would like personal opinions.

You basically have a 100% matchplay coupon.

Are you willing to risk it all?. If no===>cashout.

If yes====> Bet $404 , if you win and had enough=======> cashout $608

If you lose, wait for a reload.

If you win and want more, rinse and repeat.

I would play 1 $400 Pai Gow hand, or if you are feeling more conservative 1 $200 Pai Gow hand (and another 2 if you lose).

You simply cannot play sticky bonuses with the fear of busting out. There are formulas out there, but basically you set a target (based on a few factors) and shoot for that target or bust trying.

Your bet size should also be as such so that you don't hit your target *before* your WR have been met...formulas out there for that, too...

Thankx ... that is basically what I was thinking.

I'd like to take a look at those formulas and the explanantions that come with them. Could you point a link?. TIA.

You're welcome

Thanks. I know everyone does BJ switch or BJ or some other low HA game to clear these, but I'd love to do these at 35-1 roulette payoff, but roulette is not allowed.

Question for PhD Whores:

What is the truly optimal game to do stickies that is allowed by casinos, if BR restraints were not an issue? (i.e.: Infinite BR).

I don't think I understand. Wouldn't the optimal game always be the game with the lowest HA? Regardless of bankroll. (I'm probably overlooking something here)

[Baulucky]

Payoff considerations dominate HA and MOST other considerations. Just that 99.99% of people don't think about it. Do the math for a roulette betting a 200% sticky on 1 number. (Roulette is not allowed at casinos, but for other reasons that casino management deem relevant, which they are not).
