How often do you bust out @ casino bonuses playin BJ?

[mtx]

Anyone know the average bust out per casino room whored?

I've whored around 6 sites and came out with average-fantastic EVs but then I've also busted out at 2 of those sites. Most of the time I play multihand with the lowest bet possible to increase clearance rate but sometimes I like to use progressive bets to "spice things up". Anyhow, I just played at Golden Palace and busted out at around 30%. I'm pretty disappointed that I busted out because GP basically gave me $300 of their own money to play with and I got nowhere with that...I couldve tried grinding it out at $1/hand but I decided to try my luck with $25 bets multihand with my remaining $100 or so and of course the dealer beat me. Another site Im about to bust out at is Littlewoods. I havent done anything stupid here, I've played by the book and played 5 hands at $1 each but the dealer is so rigged he never busts. I hardly had any BJs dealt to me in the hour or so I played and he would always beat me by 1! I started out with 75GBP and got it to stay at 85 for some while, but the past 30 minutes have been hell and I was down to 18GBP! I was on tilt so I decided to throw a $15 bet for the hell of it (at this point I am 81% done WR) and of course I lost that hand. Hell, EVERYTIME I bet a huge amount (after a win), I lose that hand. Now I'm contemplating whether or not to deposit some more of my own money to get this 25GPB. 19% left to do and only 25GBP to get. Is it worth it?

Is it normal that I am busting out even though I'm playing by the book?

Perfectly normal, nothing to be worried about. Bet less if you want to bust less.

Until now, I've done 2 sites: Casino Lux and Sands o/t Carribean. Small bonuses since I just started out. I finished both with a gain, 12$ on a 20$ deposit at Casino Lux, 86$ on a 50$ deposit at Sands o/t Carribean. This first week of whoring has been nice to me, with another 140$ win at Platinum Play. Doing Golden Palace now, at 2$ a hand. I know it's 4000 hands to play, but the bonus (300$) is worth it. Considering the average EV is 270 en it takes 400 hands an hour, this gives me an hourly rate of 27$, which is good enough for me.

I bust nearly 75% of my sticky caino boni and around 30% of the cashable bonus. But it all depends on your betting size and your hourlrate.. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[dzbonus]

I would say around 80-90% personally but I am no $1 bettor.

I bust out on roughly 5% of my cashable bonuses.

I bust out on roughly 90% of my sticky bonuses.

Busted on Kiwi the other day (playing 5 hands with a total $7 bet)... same thing, the dealer got ridiculously hot, and the HE there is higher because of the no peek rule. Other than that, I've been fine.

Speaking of Kiwi Casino here's the ToC
"This play bonus gives you the chance to play on a much larger variety of games when you are new to Kiwi Casino and is for wagering purposes only. The first deposit play bonus and winnings obtained prior to meeting the wagering requirements will be removed from your account after a withdrawal request"

This sounds like a Sticky, but it says winnings are also removed? Wtf does that mean? And also if it is a sticky bonus, why are you betting so low? Is it really a cashable? Thanks for any info.

Yes you should finish the wagering at littlewoods because you expect to lose a lot less in the remaining wagering than the 25GBP you will gain when it is complete.

Question for others...When doing bonuses like Littlewoods and Omni where you have to wager a certain amount before the money is put in your account, to me it seems like the betting bigger to increase EV mantra doesn't work here. The only thing that changes with bet size is your hourly rate and the absolute size of your up/down swings and bet size has zero effect on EV for these types of bonuses. Is this right?

Correct.

[Freakin]

Bust around 80-90% of my bonuses, cashable or sticky.

How do you profit then? /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[maniacut]

His bet sizes are very high so he has a lot of variance in his results. He busts the majority of the time but the few times he doesnt bust make up for it so he likely still shows a handsome profit just like the rest of us.

And my hourly rate is through the roof... so i don't have to spend 2 weeks grinding a single bonus like some of the guys on here.

[maniacut]
