watching myself slowly and consistantly lose hundreds of dollars is pretty sickening.

Here's a message not directed at only pyedog, but everyone in a similar situation. You are NOT suited for online bonus whoring if you cannot stand the risk that you will bust out from any given casino. People here bust out everyday and they don't constantly whine about it. I don't want to sound like a dick, but this is all part of the bonus whoring game. If you can't deal with it, you shouldn't be here.

This is exactly why I deposited for the $1100 bet but wouldn't redeposit for this bonus. I was thinking about it all day but I couldn't live with myself if I lost my $1050 I already took from masion.

Weather or not you took the pittsburg bet you gambled on this bonus, +EV or not. Some will finish way above some way below. Welcome to casino bonuses, which are nothing at all like the risk free wager manson offered on the game.

I understand your post, but your logic is flawed. If you have a sufficient bankroll, it would be stupid to pass up a bonus with an EV of $540. If you only like things that are risk free, however, then I suppose your move was logical.

You have to view this bonus independent of the Steelers promo. It would like saying "I don't want to whore Golden Palace casino because I'm afraid I'll lose money I won from Mansion." Money is money, regardless of where it came from. Bottom line is, you expect to make ~$540 on the bonus. That, your risk tolerance, and your bankroll should be the only relevant decision criteria.

+EV is not the only thing.
I had to consider the fact that it would take me around 6hrs to clear, and then with everyone else doing this bonus I had to do it asap or not do it at all. If the +EV on this bonus was $400 I wouldn't have done it
