Intercasino - APRIL Official BUSTO Thread

[car ramrod]

ran my $100 bonus + $100 deposit up to $750. I always start off every month w/ a $100 bet, then go $25 bets from there. I got it up to around $700 then realized that I still have 3 months of uncleared wr's. I will try to finish it tonite in the positive.

Busto at Intercasino and Will Hill. HAd a rotton run since my "brag" thread. <note to self: Maybe it is rigged!>

Can someone explain to me why everyone is betting so high (between $25-$100)? With that size bet, your bonus isn't compensating for the HA. Do you (people betting big) jsut not want to spend the time on it to make the ~$80? You might as well just deposit $200 and play with your own money.

Bulldawg. Could you please show me a formula that backs those words up? The EV on each bet is the same right, however you will clear it much faster so your hourly rate is higher. The downside is that you will go BUSTO a lot more, because the variance is higher.

Maybe I'm missing something though.

Escape is 100% correct. The house edge remains the same therefore you could bet a million or a dollar and the HA isn't going to change. Variance is a helluva lot higher the more you bet and thats the only thing that changes.

the other guys answered this already about the HA. but another reason why I do bet w/ bigger bets is b/c it's quicker and I don't have the time to grind it out. If I lose the $100 it's not a big deal. The times I run goot, I usually end up winning ~$400.

fwiw, when I first started building my bankroll, I would grind it out w/ $2 bets.

[bulldawgblue]

Sorry, you are both correct. The HA does not change regardless of bet size. However, the reason these bonues become +EV is because the bonus money offers some padding against the HA. So you can "lose but still turn a profit". By betting $50 a hand, the bonus really isn't doing anything for you, hence....my question above.
