dumb question, Do I have to wager $800 in bets to clear this bonus. How did you do this with 1 and 2 doller bets. Does this mean you had to, for example, make 800 bets at $1 a pop, or 400 bets at $2 a pop.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. However, at $1 bets, it would be slightly less than 400 hands, because double-downs and splits are counted towards your wagering requirement as well.

What do you wager money on to keep the risk factor down, making it profitable.

[/ QUOTE ]

The risk factor and the profitability are not as directly related as it seems. If you wager more, your risk goes up, but your EV will at least stay the same, and may go increase (your potential downswings are capped by going bust).

There can be some significant risk in casino whoring. A lot people hate losing money once on a poker bonus, but on casino bonuses you will lose money very often. If you are going to do any, do a lot of them, because you have to get past the variance.

To get an idea of the variance and risk-of-ruin, take a look at www.wizardofodds.com and the non-abandoned www.bonuswhores.com/casino. Note: the info listed on the casinowhores site is VERY out of date, but the calculations there can be used an examples to give you an idea of how ROR and EV works for casino bonuses.

You can add about 10% to (hands * bet amount) to get total wagered.

I.E.

500 hands * $2 = ~$1100 wagered. That's because of splits and doubles.

thanks moondogg.
sounds like I may just stick to poker bonuses. I dont need to deal with variance in both poker and casino's. But thanks for the info. I will check out the sites and see if it is worth my time. Sounds like from some of the other post casino whoring is not what it used to be.

thanks again

There's still good ones out there. This past week I did SIA casino and Classic Casino and made $400 profit. Took maybe 2 hours of time to do both.

I can't get the Java Applet version to work at Planetluck. How do I get this to work.

Also, Can you do 3 dollar bets in the applet version?

Make sure you have popup blockers disabled including the one now built into IE.

Yes, you can do $3 bets.

hate to sound negative, but the casino whoring days are coming to an end... it was fun while it lasted...

[/ QUOTE ]

I've made about $3000 from casino whoring in 2005, and I thought I had exhausted all possibilities before then. New bonuses are popping up all the time. The terms are getting a little more difficult/tricky, but whoring is not coming to an end.

Exactly. SIA and CasinoClassic have a total EV of around $300 - $350 and require almost no time/effort. CasinoClassic can be done in pounds and you can use Autoplay. Doesn't get any easier than that.
