Just won.....£430 from a casino

VC Blackjack is really crafty. As soon as you get in to a winning streak it brings up an error message and you have to manually press 'Reload' so it reloads the casino.

Something VERY fishy about that in my opinion. Oh well, 200 more wages left and I think I'll just about break even (not including QuidCo).

It's been an experience but I'm not sure if I'm going to pursue it or not...

Yeah, VC (and all the others based on that software) often tend to do that... it happens whether you're winning or losing, and if it dies in the middle of a hand you get the chance to resume it. It's not dodgy, just rubbish and unreliable.

That must have been my problem then. Bit of a costly mistake to make but I know where I went wrong now.

I ended up finishing with 40 quid, which is worth it for the effort I put in though it was a bit worrying nearly losing 100 pounds. I'll carry on with it though, it's good money.
 
Bagging William Hill now. I've done 1000 of the 2400 wager requirement and I'm already £50 up. This is the same as the bonus for doing all 2400. Is it worth carrying on in the hope of getting more but with the risk of losing it? Or shall I leave now and come away with the bonus I expected?

What a nice dilemma to be in :p

You should never stop at any point with this bonus bagging, until you hit the wager requirements... The process has no memory, so you being £50 up at the moment, just means that your expected value at the end if higher from this point.

I have just purchased the casibot premium for £100, i am hoping it is a worth while investment... I have it running on Bwin as we speak!

Sorry I don't understand you. Do you mean I have to complete all the wagering in one session?

Can't I just withdraw the £100 now?

:confused:

Possibly, depends on the T&Cs. You might not be able to withdraw until the WR is met.

You'd be stupid to do that though, when the odds are that you'll end up better off if you completed the wagering.
 
I have been a bonus whore for years. From 2000 to 2005 i ripped their pants with various accounts and other tactics i won't share here. I hit 4 of kind at poker 5-6 times. Paid well too:D. Heres some screeshots i kept from those times. All are real money based screenshots.


I was so happy with this hand. I had 20 and I thought the dealer can't take me down with a 3 but......:(

This was a wild BJ hand. Never had one like this before. If i had hit it at inter casino Bonus BJ it would have paid me 2-3k coz of the 4 aces.

For stud poker if you are a bonus **** always place £1 for the bonus payout. Mathematically its a suckers bet but since you play with their money its worth it.

Nowadays only betfair has 0% edge games and some bossmedia have blackjack variants that even give player the edge. Ofcourse if you play blackjack you better follow the basic strategy otherwise it becomes a bad game odds wise.

OK then. I tried going to the withdraw funds screen and it looked like it would let me withdraw. But I think I'll go with the risker option and carry on wagering.
 
Nowadays you can't withdraw money unless you meet the wagering requirements while back then you could always take your deposit out and leave the bonus in. You had to do this carefully though as sometimes you could easily get flagged a bonus **** and lose your monthly bonuses.

Hiroki,
I have been thinking for a while about buying Casibot premium but kept holding back because i haven't seen anyone say whether it's worth getting.
I was just wondering how you are getting on with it?

I've made about £600 this month courtesy of Casibot (admittedly I've done better than I usually do, but I always make over £300/month).

Hey mate, no sorry I didn't mean all in one session, I just mean you should never give up on a casino, as your expected value goes up the closer to the wagering requirement you get. Also at any point say you have x pounds you expected value is:

x - (Remaining wagering requirement * house edge) + the bonus

So you can see that you are always best off carrying on rather than locking in your winnings or cutting your losses.

Well I have only done 2 casino so far... and have been pretty damn unlucky on both to be honest!

Did the Bwin one which has a Euro 2008 special of a 100% match on 150 quid... lost all of my money, put in another 50 quid and ended up about 10 quid up in the end, and then i have just finished a littlewoods bonus deposited 50 quid, 50 quid bonus and ended up on 78 quid... so pretty poor pickings so far... not sure about it... will try a few more and report back.
 
Have you set it all up properly Hiroki at the correct res and Windows Classic (eugh) settings etc?

I am doing practise rounds on it atm for testing to see how I get on.

Wondering what monthlies people are doing though? Inter UK & US, Littlewoods for a guess? anything else though?

cheers.

Yeah, I think I have the right settings... although perhaps I should check.. whenever I watch it play it seems to be playing correctly... although I have noticed that sometimes I seem to stand on 16 when dealer shows a 10 9 or 8 or something like that... is that normal?
