"low risk" casino bets

[tdiddy]

I just got a funny email from a well known online casino.

They offer a 20% welcome bonus which you earn after putting so much money at risk. However, they don't count the "low risk" bets such as red/black (2.7% house edge) in roulette or pass/don't pass (1.4% house edge) in craps toward the bonus. However, if you would like to play black jack (0.38% house edge if using basic strategy), then that will count toward the bonus.

I thought this was very funny.

You are missing the point. If you bet red/black or pass/don't pass you can hedge your bet completely, pay the vig, and cash out the rest of the bonus without any risk. They don't want it to be THAT easy.
