    Default HalvSame's Casizzle fo' da pimpin' adventcha

    (...or "Casino whoring adventure" for the non-Snoopy crowd.)

    Today I decided to start casino whoring. Initially I wanted to begin with the *luck casinos, but I experienced some difficulties when installing the software (I think my Pc needs reformatting). So I decided to head over to casinobonuspages and check out their top10.

    The choice for the first bonus fell on Bet365. I deposited 200$, and after clearing the first bonus I decided to take the 200$ out of the bankroll again so that my casino bankroll will consist of winnings only.

    Tomorrow I have my last exam this year, after that I will commence full-time poker and casino bonus whoring.

    BR after clearing Bet365: 330$. Time spent: approx 6 hrs including research time.

    Did SIA Casino this morning. Luckily this casino adventure has started out with a hot streak of cards. Now off to study for that exam, which actually is tomorrow, not today.

    Bet365: 200$ + 130 winnings; 6 hours
    SIA Casino: 130$ + 89,50 winnings; 3 hours
    Total: 330$ + 219,50$ = 549,50$; 9 hours

    Did Golden Palace today, started out betting 3$ but went with 5$ after a while. Also I started doing two tables at once to fight the slight dealer lag. I think I'm going to do one of their reloads (50% up to 250$, 20xD+B) right away before moving on to a new casino.

    I can really get used to this

    Bet365: 200$ + 130 winnings; 6 hours
    SIA Casino: 130$ + 89,50 winnings; 3 hours
    Golden Palace: 300$ + 98 winnings; 4 hours 15 minutes
    Total: 630$ + 317,50$ = 947,50$; 13 hours 15 minutes

    Did the Golden Palace 50% up to 250$ reload today. 20x(500+250) = 15000$ WR, so it was a lot of work for the 250$. Completed it in the same time as yesterday's 8000$ WR, though, so I guess I'm getting faster.

    Today was very swingy. At my worst I was down about 100$ into my deposit. The last hour I had a shit hot run of cards, and ended up +300$.

    Bet365: 200$ + 130 winnings; 6 hours
    SIA Casino: 130$ + 89,50 winnings; 3 hours
    Golden Palace: 300$ + 98 winnings; 4 hours 15 minutes
    Golden Palace (reload):250$ + 315 winnings; 4 hours 15 minutes
    Total: 880$ + 632,50$ = 1512,50$; 17 hours 30 minutes

    It's been a while, other stuff to do plus good weather equals less time for casino whoring. Did playvegasfromhome.com 100%/200$ bonus (actually I only had 192$ in Neteller but meh), but ended up with a net loss of 19,50$. Did Twin Aces 125%/125$ for a net profit of $38. It seems variance is catching up, but that was expected.

    I think I'm gonna do some Cryptos next. Also, I think I'm gonna drop my bets to 2$ and play 3-handed. Who cares if it takes a little longer if you have wifi and a sunny garden?

    Bet365: 330$; 6 hours
    SIA Casino: 219,50$; 3 hours
    Golden Palace: 398$; 4 hours 15 minutes
    Golden Palace (reload):565$; 4 hours 15 minutes
    Play Vegas From Home:- 19,50$; 2 hours
    Twin Aces: 38$; 3 hours 55 minutes
    Total:1531$; 22 hours 25 minutes

    Ok, it's now been around three weeks since my last update here. I guess I just decided not to bother updating it, it's not like there's very much information anyway. So I think this will be the last update of the thread.

    I've now done 16 bonuses on 12 different casinos, and I've been very fortunate so far and have only busted on a couple. I'm up around 1800$ on top of the bonuses, for a total profit of 4188$ including some conversion fees. This gives me an hourly rate of 98.25$, not bad for a job that can be done while watching TV .

    Obviously the variance is going to go the other way at some point. I'm just glad that I hit positive variance in this first month of casino whoring, so that I now have a bankroll that can sustain a few busto's.

    Sure thing, these are the ones I have done so far (note that I haven't hit up any new casinos this month, that's laziness for ya ):

    Bet365
    Sports Interaction Casino
    Golden Palace
    PlayVegasFromHome.com (bonus no good anymore)
    Inter Casino
    Casino Euro
    Cherry Casino
    Twin Aces
    Betsson
    Planetluck
    Starluck
    21.com

    I had some minor problems cashing out from 21.com, they changed the terms for depositing with neteller without updating the web site. Nothing a few emails couldn't fix. Other than that it's been very smooth.

    Cherry
    Littlewoods
    InterCasino
    William Hill
    Omni Casino
    CasinoOnNet

    Got a mail from CON saying that I needed to wager $36k more (!). Rechecked the T&Cs and sure enough the WR are 200*B if you deposit with moneybookers. And here I was trying to avoid the 50*B that you get when depositing with neteller.

    I'm with stupid
    <--------------------

    Anyways I decided to bet big to try and either bust fast or run up a big score, and ended up cashing out $2885 on a 200$ deposit. Yay me.

    Yeah, I can't complain. Just want to add to the sunshine story that I have busted at a number of casinos because I usually bet big. Big bets = more EV, higher hourly rate, but much bigger variance.

    i just started my casino whoring experience last night with Starluck... wish me luck mang. I've been only betting $1 single hands im so cautious hahaha. im hoping once i get into the swing of things on my next casinos i will start playing bigger bets or more hands, is that smart?

    I started out betting small as well, to reduce variance while building a casino bankroll. Now that I have the bankroll to withstand busting at a bunch of casinos in a row I prefer to bet bigger, as I said it increases EV but increases variance MUCH more. So definitely bet small at the first casinos.

    My bankroll spreadsheet is in a state of fuckedupness right now, but around $13k.
