Whoring with a shocking result...

[Poker Jet]

Was whoring on a Playtech casino site, and was doing it with let it ride poker, as it was counting all 3 bets towards my requirement, while Id only lose one if I didnt get anything (taking bet back)...

started with 10c bets, playing simple martindale on it was at $25 a spot when...

Cards: A-A-5
So Im thinking woot, $75 winner I let it ride

First up Card: Ace
Now Im getting excited, thinking this can be a really happy day

Last up Card: ACE!!!!!!!!!!!! $1,250 per $25 spot won $3,750 whoring off a $50 start bank.... Anyone else have this happen?

MartinGALE - a double-up progression betting system that is an extremely effective way to lose your money much faster then just flat-betting....unless you happen to get very lucky along the way.

Which makes it particularly WELL-SUITED to bonus whoring. And no, I'm not explaining this again.

[MicroBob]

this implies that you've explained it before (which i have missed).

interesting. i'll look into it sometime.

thanks for the link....
i read through your post and you reminded me of some stuff that i should have remembered...and some stuff that i should have already known or been able to figure out.
(kicking self)...thanks.


i recall a thread that contained info about it actually being +EV to place the whole $2k wad down on one hand if you're getting a bonus there....just MUCH MUCH higher variance obviously.
maybe this info was also in this thread...i only read through your post.


anyway, interesting stuff....and perhaps worth remembering if i ever get around to whoring the non-poker games.


i still liked Tic-Tac-Dough though.

Yeh don't know if you bonus whore cryto microbob but its casino bonuses are probably worth doing ed's way, considering you get them for free and you're really only there for the poker bonuses. After grinding out the 1st quart using 1poound bets at William Hill reading that thread Ed linked to inspired me to just high variance it up. Betting 25pounds a hand finished up at around 260USD for 1hrs BJ.

interesting....i've been so busy on the other whoring opportunities that i still haven't gotten around to crypto believe it or not.

i keep saying that i will get around to checking it out though.

You've absolutely got to get in on them, party fish have nothing on the crypto Europeans. It might not be soo great for US players as you'll be playing in its quiet time but for me in Australia my evenings seem to coincide with the biggest fish coming online.

Which site was it? They had ten cent let-it-ride?
Please let us know how the cash-out goes. I have read some less than flattering reports about playtech sites. I hope it goes well.
Good job.
