Have him start out with the casino bonuses. They require much less skill than poker bonuses (especially the blackjcak ones).

[AntonHeat]

get him A PSO bankroll, like the deposit one. Casino bonus's are also a good way to start

[Thremp]

Ugh... I've been meaning to make a website about this to save me time from typing this out. Basically...

People that have been casino whoring for a while know a ton of crap about doing this stuff. It seems people just starting out have a ton of questions and places like CBP and casinodave are great but a lot of the information is outdated and/or just garbage. Even most of their advanced stuff isn't the greatest.... I'm getting off topic. Anyway, it basically involves answering questions and hand holding people through the top 50-150 casinos until these people can start to do things on their own. People who mentor would RAF these people as a compensation for their time and it would also help to make sure each person got their RAF bonus.

I really need to get a website put together with all my ideas in a more coherent form but basically its based on teaching people how to casino whore and how not to do it. Don't be "that guy" that is wasting casinomeister time whoring every rouge out there.

[BigBadBabar]

my understanding with casinos is that you can bust a lot of times without too much trouble, and still be playing fine...so make sure your bankroll is big to start with to handle this.

As long as you bet small and are willing to perhaps play for an hour you shouldn't bust too often. I've been doing cashables for probably 6 months and didn't bust very often when I bet the minimum. Sure the hourly rate will be less, but so will the variance

OP,
how do you have 3800 posts and seamingly still be out of the loop on whoring??

anyway, i'm sure someone will PM ya and raf you along the way. a results thread just for your bro will go something like this. he'll win some, loose a bit more and make money off the casino bonuses.
the poker part- he better learn the game at lower stakes or he'll lose most of bonus ( if he's never played holdem)

Plenty of people just don't do it. Degen is a successful poker player and probably cleared a few bonuses here and there, but never got seriously into it.

Insert "OMG YOU MUST HATE MONEY" comment here if you like, but for many, poker as a full/part-time profession is more their style and/or makes more money for them.

Most NL400+ guys make more per hour than anyone makes hourly casino whoring.

Not to sound arrogant, but I make plenty from Rakeback and playing and I've never looked into it really. I mean if Party has a $100 bonus or something I'll usually deposit $500 for the 100% free money, but other than that, it really isnt' worth my time (I think) if its just going to be like $20 an hour or whatever...

[/ QUOTE ]

Right, exactly. A lot of casino bonus whores are like "wtf you are turning down so much money" but in reality there's a learning curve to overcome and time to invest when you (Degen) could just be playing poker and make whatever bb/100 you make.

You don't come off as arrogant.

[kcheel]

Also, don't let him sign up directly for them unless he has too, whether its a casino or a poker room.

Between the affiliate offers from PSO, Gamesavvy, Boogster and others, theres a few thousand dollars in kickbacks from just doing the sites they have deals with. Thats on top of the actual signup bonuses from the sites themselves.

[E.Z.]

sorry about that OP, didn't realize this site had that many other topics...lol. when i came here i went str8 to bonus and rakeback.

if your bro has 500 he can check out the sites you were pm'd, run if up over a grand. watch you play $400nl for a week and he will be home free.

there's some bad play at the lower levels and making over $10 an hour with bonus would be pretty easy if ya teach him 1/3 of what you know. $18- not sure?

[otter]

are those sites casino bonus sites or just poker?

[E.Z.]

i am a winning player. meaning, i beat the rake and make money without the bonus. everyone says i should move higher and perhaps i should but that's gambling then...lol.

one losing session pisses me off so i simply stay at blinds where i dont lose. i guess i just dont the stomach or risk tolerence to be legit semi-pro player. i do well enough, not nearly as good as you (OP) but i'll be content as long as it stays legal.

[kcheel]

Mostly poker sites but some have a few casino sites also.

[ubercuber]

Little brother is going to need a sweet spreadsheet to track his casino endevours. I also have that need, combined with a lack of Excel ability. If anyone wants to share, PM myself and of course OP. Much appreciated!
