Casino bonus experiences

BJ at Starluck and Planetluck I ended up making $20 doing all 4 bonuses (not including the $100 for each bonus). So for I'm down $240 doing the bet365 bonus betting $5 playing 3 hands at a time. Is it a bad idea playing 3 hands at a time?

I'd like to break even at least for this bonus, but that looks doubtful.

EDIT: should 3 handed play be different at all?

I dont know much about the bet365 bonus but if you are just looking to break even you should be betting the min. I know you are already down so you might not want to do that though.

I think playing 3 hands of $5 is too much of a risk of ruin. I think i'll go back down to $5 for one hand.

Yeah dude 3 handed $5 is way too much for ur probably small roll. On a bonus like that you can do $5/bet but I'd prolly be doing 3 or 4.

I don't know what your roll is, but if you're just starting and trying to build one I'd bet small, like $2/hand or MAYBE 2/$2, but probably not. If you want, play 1/$5. Playing one hand will clear the bonus faster since the software moves faster w/ less hands.

Don't listen to these rooks. Go big or go home. Thats my motto. And also why I live at home....

I've got several thousand, but I don't want to risk losing that. I could live with busting out doing 1 bonus, but that's it. I think 1 $5 hand will be good enough.

Btw, I checked by Starluck account yesterday and it was exactly $500 cheaper. Did they reverse my IGM deposit for some reason? I emailed them a few days ago to ask if I completed the bonus and they told me I did and I have to wait 24 hours to withdraw. Did they go ahead and do it for me? I went ahead and emailed them and i've been waiting on a response for 16 hours.

Bet365 casino bonus sucked for me too...will be avoiding that place next time.

I shouldn't bother with these casino bonuses, i'm not lucky enough to do them. Just [censored] busted out with $400 betting $5 at scam365.

I can barely make money at poker getting sucked out like crazy. Busted out trying to clear a b2b bonus top set both times. [censored] moron calls with his 99 after 2 people in front of him push and rivers a better set, other hand the guy sucks out a set.

EDIT: I feel like going bust at golden palace now. Is playing the surrender version -EV or something? It drives me crazy getting 16,15 every single hand.

You seem to have no idea where the money comes from one makes at poker, and you can't deal with variance.

Seems like it's not very wise of you to do casinowhoring and poker.
