This forum gets no love

Here are some really easy start up and monthly offer for begginers to do.

William Hill - £50 sign up offer (wager £1000), £25 monthly reload (wager £500)
Littlewoods - £50 sign up offer (wager £1250), £25 monthly reload (wager £625)
Ladbrokes - £100 (wager £800)!! min bet £5
Virgin Games - £50 (wager £1000)
Coral - £50 sign up offer (wager £1250), £25 monthly (wager £625)
VC Casino - Wager £500 and recieve £50 - or wager £5000 and get £250!!

All the above offers can be cleared using blackjack, I suggest Pontoon for WillHill and Littlewoods (lower House Edge but higher varience, strategy can be found at wizzardofodds.com) and I suggest Single Deck BlackJack at Coral for a very low House Edge.

The betting system I use is 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 8, 8, 16, 16, ect
This can net you a big score if you hit a progression although the House Edge is still the same in the long run.

Have fun, this should add some easy money to your poker bankroll

Remember to always check T&C before you do these.

Not with player bonuses, the House Advantage for blackjack if we play a perfect strategy is less that 0.5%, if you factor in the bonus you can get into a +EV situation, for example:

William Hill Sign up offer,
Deposit £50, recieve £50 bonus, play through £1000 worth of blackjack, expected loss = 1000 * (0.5/100) = £5, so in the long run you make £45.

I will bet 1 unit, if I win, I will bet 1 unit again, if I win a third time I then bet 2units, then 2 again, then four, until I lose, if I lose, I will revert back to 1unit.

This system of betting allows for betting large amounts, therefore clearing the bonus faster, whilst only betting with money that you have already won. It's kind of a reverse martingale system.

The biggest bet I've made whilst using this system is 64units starting bet on Pontoon, which I then doubled, and hit a five card trick which pays 2:1. That was whilst doing a £25 bonus.

OK thanks.

I was just looking into the bonus T&C on Ladbrokes and came across this

Quote:
6. To be eligible for the free stake offer, your initial chip purchase must be between £5 and £100 (or equivalent - see below) and you must have wagered (staked) at least 4 times the initial chip purchase amount (or equivalent - see below). You can check your casino play history using Playcheck. Stakes on Roulette, Craps, Pontoon Bet, Poker Bet and Sic Bo do not count towards the qualifying stake. Also, please note that when playing Blackjack, Baccarat, Red Dog, 3 Card Poker, Casino War, Pai Gow Poker, Pontoon or Video Poker only individual bet stakes of at least 10% of the welcome bonus you wish to claim (if claiming 100 chips, this will then equate to 10 chips or more).
I cant tell if this means you need to wager 10% of the bonus each time for a Blackjack hand to qualify towards your wagering requirements or if it just doesnt qualify at all ??

Have you actually been through and completed these bonuses yet and received cashouts?


Edit: oops just re-read it and see that BJ does qualify Isnt 10% or the bonus per hand a bit too high to cope with the variance?

Yea if you go for the £50 bonus you have to wager £5 per hand, £100 bonus is £10 per hand.

Re. your question on Varience for the Ladbrokes offer, your chance of gain is 75% this means 15% of the time you will break even of worse. EV is £46.60

I have completed all of the bonuses above, I cashed out a profit from all except the Virgin Games which I broke even, very streaky software in my opinion, as is Blue Square.

http://www.beatingbonuses.com is a good website, it's where I worked out the above % chance of gain from, they have a begginers guide and a full list of casino offers.

The best offers in my opinion are the one's listed above and the Yukon gold which is zero risk (see my other post).

I would also highly recommend OnlineCasino 300% bonus, I deposited £50 recieved £150 bonus and cashed out £345, WARNING when cashing out from OnlineCasino you have to scan a copy of passport / Driving Licence, Copy of Utility of phone bill, Copy of bank statement and email it to the security team, withdrawls take 10 days to process.

I would aslo recomend Casino Club.

If your just starting out, dont do the Ladbrokes one just yet, its quite high variance. Find one where u can bet £1 a time, Willaim Hill is a good start as 2kicker said - £50 bonus but you only have to bet £1 a time, it should take you about 2/3 hours, EV ~ £45
Also, OnlineCasino.com is excellent, I think you need a Neteller account to get the full 300% bonus though.

I did a massive bunch of casinos all in my gf's name one week, think I pulled in £1,500 in a week, that'll roll you for $100NL!!
I never had any problem cashing out of any of the casino's straight after I'd completed the Wage Requirements.

Always check the T & C's at 2kicker said.

Hi wilburforce, a good idea for risk free money is to do matched betting to build up your bankroll then do casino offers due to the high varience.

Matched betting is where you extract bookies free bet offers by both backing and laying the same event and therefore coming out with around 90 - 75% of the free bet.
This is discussed in great detail on the moneysavers forums and would be a great way to start your free money career.

Good Luck
