Am I alone in my thinking that casino whoring is a load of crap?

Since everyone's flaming you, I'll go a bit easier on you.

It's not for everyone, there are a lot of pitfalls (rogue casinos, misleading T&C's, difficult cashouts, etc.), and you need to be informed and well-bankrolled to hit up a lot of the better sticky bonuses.

That being said, for the motivated player willing to put in the time and who has some reasonable risk tolerance, casino whoring can be a cash cow.

Why???
What's wrong with making $100 a hour while sitting in your boxers???

I should have seen the flaming coming, but it's my initial impression. Not trying to knock anybodies windfall. Since it seems the overwhelming majority feels much differently- perhaps I should give it another try. I tried Planet Luck-and as you can guess I busted out. I adhered strictly to WOD guide. Flat betting $2 a hand. I thought it was VERY boring and it took quite a while. The no down load version wasn't working. So I had to download. The download versions all have the dealer hitting soft 17. So then I go to Starluck- and it's like DejaVu-Java doesn't work, and so many miracle 21's for the dealer. I realize there is variance, but it got old real quick. Plus- customer service was very poor. Obviously- there are more talented black jack players than I [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I guess then you also assume that dating women must be a load of crap too.

Even a trained monkey could make money casino whoring...I guess you haven't been trained yet. Seriously though, go to wizardofodds.com and print out a blackjack strategy sheet and play the hands. For Planetluck and Starluck I got $170 out of the potential $200 in bonuses and I felt like I ran exceptionally bad. Something tells me that you got pissed off and stopped following your chart because you were losing and/or raised your bets at some point. Follow the chart, bet $1/hand, and keep track of your money wagered so you don't wager more than the minimum and you'll make money.

That is all.

No way, man. You're just more of a blackjack expert than the OP.

Since the EV of these 2 bonuses is right around $185, you did not run anything close to exceptionally bad. You did not even run bad...
