I hate casino whoring

I bet 5 dollars a hand on casino on net and be the dealer and 2 dollars a hand at starluck and planetluck.

casino on net = I deposit 200, clear the 200 bonus and cash out for 420. Net = + 220

Starluck = deposit 100 and lose it all before clearing the bonus. Net = - 100

Planetlick = deposit 100 and lose it all before clearing the bonus. Net = - 100

Be the dealer = deposit 200 and lose it all before clearing the bonus. Net = - 200

Broken Logitech Wireless mouse = thrown at wall 5 minutes ago. Net = - 80


Just wanted to let everybody know these arent risk free at all. I dont think I will ever whore casino sites again.

But do you know what the good news is? I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

No. Casinos do not make money from variance. Casinos make money when people make -EV wagers. You were not doing this if you were not planning to play more than the wagering requirement.

Why don't you at least minimize your losses by redepositing and finishing out the bonuses? I've done this at either Starluck or Planetluck, can't remember which, so I know it works.

And really, it could be worse - you're currently down $260 (of which $80 is your own fault), but you have $400 in bonuses left to clear (I assume that the "be the dealer" bonus is $200). That means you're still $140 ahead, and probably have made a good dent in the bonuses.

I'm sure you don't appreciate me telling you "it could be worse" after you just experienced a run of shitty ass luck, but whatever...

At all of these casinos, you get to play with the bonus money before you clear the bonuses. I believe the OP lost the bonus money, too. Busting out relieved him of the wagering requirement. There is no reason to deposit more without a reload bonus or other promotion.

If this were PokerRoom, then it would make sense to deposit more to complete the wagering requirement to get the bonus.

oh, I see... I stand corrected

Not that it'll make you feel any better, but Be The Dealer has a bad rep, very streaky. I've rarely busted, SIA was my only other bad run, but BTD was a trip straight to the bottom. I'll get blasted for saying this, as I've said it elsewhere and gotten blasted, but the cards at BTD don't "feel" true. I've not got any evidence to prove it, and this casino has plenty of defenders, but you're not alone on this one.

BTW, if you had signed up for those casinos properly, you'd have $110 more than you do. It pays to search the threads here and at BW.

Like pzhon said, you get to play with the bonus money, so I'm sure he lost that too. This is the case with almost every casino.
