First experiences casino whoring

[Ponks]

So yesterday I signed up for all the Fortune Lounge Casinos listed here . I started to autplay with the one with the highest bonus first, Vegas Villa. I deposited in $1000 and received a $310 bonus the next day to have $1310 in my account. I autoplayed the Aces and Faces 10 Play Power Poker and followed all steps to cash out $207.50 from $1310.

Well the website said that the variance was high so I moved onto the next one, the Fortune Room. I deposited $500 into there and received a $250 bonus for a total of $750 credits. I didn't even get to cash out as I lost all $750 before I could meet the wagering requirements.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is my experience out of the ordinary? What are your results? I'm worried to finish off the rest of these sites after losing a pretty good chunk of cash.

Thanks
Ponks

Don't start with Fortune Lounge Casinos. Start with CoN, Starluck/Planetluck where you can whore playing small bet blackjack at much lower variance, with much smaller wagering requirements.

I'd rather just utilize the autoplay. I'm pretty sure I could make more just playing poker if I was going to sit at my computer. I don't care THAT much about the variance, but is this the correct variance to expect, or am I just extremely unlucky??

Check the standard deviation charts on casino whores.

I'm pretty sure I've read the site inside and out and looking back again I don't see any link or mention of standard deviation charts. Do you mind linking it for me, or pointing me in the right directions?

Thanks

The results of other posters are meaningless, since FL is a legitimate group and there are no concerns about rigging. To find out how likely losing it all was, you have to check out the standard deviation information for Aces and Faces at the Wizard of odds website. Or, if you post the coin size you used, someone can do it for you.

Thanks for your help Homer. My point wasnt to imply that they were rigged at all, just wanted to see if this was unusual variance at all, as I've told friends and family about this and want to inform them first of my experiences first before I help them out. I used the $.10 coin size bet, but I can check the charts for myself.

Poor wording on my part, sorry if I offended.

I thought this had the SD of Aces and Faces, but I guess not. I know someone quoted it on the BW forums. I'll see if I can find it.

Hey Homer,

No apology needed. I've been searching around this Wizard of Odds site and haven't been able to find the information either.

Thanks

Unless you are playing 5/10 or higher, BJ will make you much more money.
