casino whoring question from a n00b
 

I'm thinking about getting into casino whoring and was wondering a few things.

Looking at Casino Dave's website I see the first casino for cashable blackjack bonus on the list is Starluck, $100 deposit, $100 bonus, $1,600 wagered.

What is the normal wagers that people make on these? I figured I'd just bet $1 to have a low RoR but 1600 wagers seems like an awful lot.

So what is your normal wager? What has been your approximate hourly rate? how much variance is usually involved?

Thanks a lot for any help,
Ben

If you're starting, do $1 best. I've done like 5 casinos now with minimum wagers and my hourly rate is like $25-30 and VERY little variance.

If you wanna make money at this, you need discipline and patient.

I do about 400 hands per hour, so 1600 took me 4 hours.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......flat betting $1 will get boring. Get your gamble on! How about flat betting $4? You get it done 4x as fast with the same EV...(actually slightly higher I think).

Standard Deviation is 1.15*(bet size)*sqrt(#hands). For example, if you bet $5/hand, SD = 1.15*5*sqrt(1600/5) = $103. What this means is you'd have to run about 1 SD below EV to lose money, which is about a 1-in-6 shot. In other words, with a $5 bet size, you have a 5/6 chance of making money. As far as ROR is concerned, I'd have to dig out my formulas. They are in the archives, though.

Interesting, also another thing i was thinking about is mutlitabling or playing two sites at the same time. Is the software slow enough to make this a good idea? Anyone try it?

No, there is no multitabling when it comes to casino whoring.

How large you bet when clearing this bonus should depend on your bankroll. If you only have ~500 or something, bet a buck or two. If you have 10k, feel free to bet $25 or $50/hand.

Re: casino whoring question from a n00b
 

That seems a little to conservative. When I was playing on starluck I got up to about $8 or so betting a $1, so I started betting $2 with the stipulation that if I dropped back to even I'd go back to $1. Once I got u to about +$24, I started betting $3 a hand and so on. Luckily I hit a nice rush and at one point was up $120. The concept is that I can clear my bonus much faster this way and keep m RoR fairly low since even if I drop all the way to even (not including bonus) I can just go back to betting $1.

Thoughts on this strategy?

"So what is your normal wager? What has been your approximate hourly rate? how much variance is usually involved?"

$25/hand usually, sometimes up to 50 or 100. ~190/hr. I have BUSTOD a little over 50% of the time.
