I signed up at casino on net and had boon clear that sweet bonus for me (thanks boon). Anyway about every two weeks they have been depositing 5$ for free. Very nice of them. HOWEVER is there one god damn game on that sight that is +EV EVER? I lose that five bucks in less than 10 min tops no matter what I try. BJ, carribean sp, or slots. Is there anything there worth playing with this free cash?

There is not casino game that is +EV. If you play perfect BJ at COn i think the casino advantage is at like 0.36%. I dont think you will ever be +EV for casino games. EVER! UNless your your from MIT and you lived in a time where you could count cards with impunity.

How soon does the $200 bonus show up in the account?

I've deposited $200, but my account still shows $200, not $400

I logged out and back in and it was there. Took about 10-15 mins for it to show up.

dala the clearing requirement on those mini deposits are only 2 times. You only have to win 2 hands of blackjack for 5 bucks for it to be good to cash out. Thats what I always do and I usually come out with 5 or more.

Since depositing by NeTeller makes the bonus requirements prohibitive (50x bonus amount instead of 10x), how do you cash out of CON without getting hit by fees? I thought I'd be able cash out via NeTeller but you can only cash out to NeTeller if you deposited there. Is there any charge for when they wire you your money or mail you a check?

no checks are free and triptanes got his wire free and took 3-4 days so i think its really just an EFT that they call a wire.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick response!

Three other quick questions:

1) Is the no-download version better to use in terms of EV? I'd heard some strange things about using the DL vs no-DL versions of some casino sites and wondered if CON was the same.

2) Do you just use the basic strategy chart that they give you as a pop-up on the BJ window or is there a better one?

3) Is this a one deck reshuffled before each deal BJ game or do they claim to use multiple decks with periodic reshuffles? I couldn't find anything out about the # of decks they say they use.

1 NO - its only that specific casino that has that and its weird i dont know why they do that crap but its stupid cause the download versions usually work way better. On that one it has something to do with being able to double down after a split and not - or double downing on 9 where the other wont allow it.

2 - this is the chart I use http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare...BJC/Chart.html I just change decks to 4 and soft 17 to stay - with the new clearing requirements i started my own variation of progressing betting but still use this chart to determine what to actually do its just my bets that vary

3 - they use 4 decks but i have no idea how often they reshuffle - makes no difference since u have no idea when they do since it never says anything about it - ur count would always be pointless because u wont know where to stop and start again if u were thinking of card counting.

If you do decide to try it please use this link when signing up. Thanks http://www.888.com?sr=361566
