Almost all people who are recreational gamblers that I know (people that play poker or blackjack, slots etc) who go to the casino once a week or play some online can't handle bonus whoring.

I have started over 6 people at casino whoring whoring and they only two lasted past two casinos. None play anymore.

Its like my friend who is into Nascar. I dont understand it and I think it sucks and my friend who is a recreational gambler (who did Starluck then quit) thinks I am crazy for whoring. It is an individual thing.

You started 6 people onto casino whoring and none have done more than 2? Do these people not enjoy making free money with very little risk? If I had stopped after my first 2 casinos, I wouldn't have been able to afford the new BMW 330i I bought due to casino whorin...

Same here. I don't get it. I started four of my friends on it and they all crapped out and quit after one or two casinos.

They couldn't handle the grind or short-term variance. I keep telling them they are passing up free money and it won't last forever, but none of them seem to give a crap. Oh well, I guess that's good news for the rest of us.

I have this conversation with Freakin probably once a week. It's pretty silly.

Here's a little math, we'll use starluck casino as an example.
1600 WR, EV of about $95 on a $100 deposit.
let's just say you flat bet $2 the entire way. for math purposes, that's approximately 800 hands (not taking into consideration doubles/splits).
i can get in about 8 hands per minute on their software, so that equates to 100 minutes to complete the WR. 100 minutes = 1.67 hours. $95/1.67 = $56.88 per hour. unless those whoring casinos are making that much per hour at their job, it almost seems worth it to 'grind' it out.

It's all about $25 bets on Starluck/Planetluck.

I'm not so sure about that. It may have been true for awhile, but there seems to be more and more bonus abusers who somewhat know how to play +EV. I keep on thinking about playvegasathome which got worse and then died in 2ish weeks, makes me think they must have been down.

We act like we're exploiting these poor little businesses. I suspect that PlayVegasFromHome knew they'd get bonus chasers, but that they'd also get some recreational gamblers (and/or compulsive gamblers) in the mix, and some attention, and that offering this bonus for a short time was +EV for them long-term.

The bonus died. Did we kill it? Or was it never intended to live for very long? We assume that our actions are controlling these bonuses, but these casinos may be manipulating our actions instead.

It was killed by bonus abuse. I'd bet money on it.

I would too. It's definitely no coincidence a day after it was posted here the WR jumped.

If it makes you guys feel any better, of the 10-15 people i worked with through my mentoring thread, i think one, maybe 2, are really sticking with it.

Making money is just not in some peoples blood.

Clearly. You tell people there is a few thousand to be made in casino whoring and they say "Wow, teach me!"

Then you do, and they stop after 2-3 casinos.

Whatever.

I accidently mentioned this to my sister inlaw who has never gambled a dollar in her life. She asked me to teach her. This is gonna be a trainwreck.
