Well thats really weird. Maybe they credited you with $75 bonus money by mistake and you need to clear 10x that. I would email them to sort this all out.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm guessing its more EV to play through Pounds depite the exchange rate fee thing. It took me about half an hour playing 3 handed BJ and made me $18. Worth it I say.

[/ QUOTE ]Hey toss,

Did you play in pounds or USD? What was your bet size, and what is three handed blackjack? PS: I understand very little about this. Just learning. =TomBk

I played in USD, but I'll do pounds next time. I betted $1 of three hands playing Blackjack (although I should have played SingleDeck BJ) So each round I was wagering $3 which comes out to about 83 hands. If you're new you might want to take it slow and only wager $1 on one hand of BJ.

It's a good bonus if you have the time each month.

Yeah, the software is slow, but at such a small playthrough it kinda evens out.

Transfer $25 from your sports account to the casino, using the monthly code (click the "Free $25" banner on the casino home page to get you're currency's code). The code changes every month, it's all very silly.

When you transfer, you will receive NO confirmation that the code was accepted. You will have NO evidence of the bonus whatsoever until you clear the bonus.

Wager $250. About 10-15 seconds after clearing the WR, you will get a popup telling you that you've received the bonus. Cashout.

Play single-deck, it's a lower HA.

moondogg,

bet $250 in 1 hand?! double up or go broke for $25 bonus?!

is that the optimum strategy for any casino (non-poker) bonus at eurobet? if so, WHY isnt it better to play $5 hands??? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Is it better to use the code for USD or GBP? Can I even use GBP, as when I signed with Eurobet for Poker I think they asked what currency I wanted to use and I entered USD. How much is a GBP worth in USD anyway, and what is the play requirement then? Do you get 25 GBP for playing 250 GBP or $25 for playing $250? If thats the case, then whatever currency is worth the most would return the most. Is that what were talking about? Is there a penalty for exchanging into or back out of GBP? =TomBk

I took this bonus tonight - or I should say my wife took this bonus tonight. I cashed a small amount out of my poker roll and transferred it to the casino for the $25 bonus. Of course, my wife gets on the computer and starts playing 3 card poker and wins a few bucks and wants to play it all out. So the "$25 bonus" nets me a negative...Eurobet casino wins, wife wins (becuase she got to play), bvaughn loses. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Started playing 1 deck blackjack. Now I don't know much about this game, but on pushes, the house is taking the money and when the house and I both bust, the house is taking the money. Is that normal? I'm down $53. and a most of that is due to these pushes and double busts. Also, if I double, I only get one more card no matter what it is. Is that normal for blackjack?

The house isn't taking money on pushes. You are seeing something wrong. Yes, if you bust, you lose no matter what happens to the house. And yes doubling gets you only one more card. I get the feeling you aren't playing anywhere close to optimum strategy and this bonus may not be +EV for you if you aren't.

Have you ever played blackjack before?

TomBrooks · #20 03-16-2005, 08:37 AM

Never played before.

I'm using wizard of odds chart so I guess I'm OK there. I see a couple of anomolies in the chart which I'll post about later.

I went to five dollar bets though and I was playing three hands at a time which was clearing that bonus uber fast [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], but that seems to have been a mistake [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] as I started losing and I switched to three dollar bets when I was down fifty five bucks, and then one dollar when I was down seventy bucks. I bottomed at -$75 and I've crawled back to -$65 and I've probably almost cleared the bonus. I guess it will take me three months to get even now. I'm learning though...the hard way, but I'm learning.

The program is pushing ties now, but I could swear it was taking my money on ties earlier.
