Default Pontoon

Clearing intercasino bonus. $50 a hand, up to $350. Get dealt aces and split. Get another ace and split. I end up getting low values on each ace and double and 5 card trick *all* 3 hands, I have $300 out in wagers at this point.
Dealer turns over J and 4. Hits an ace. Hits an ace. Hits an ace. Dealer wins with his five card trick and I almost crap out whatever I just finished eating.

Variance sometimes sucks. I ended the bonus at $255 (155 profit), but it would have been +600 more if I had won that bet, absolutely terrible.
On a side note, I got my will hill bonus up to 100 pounds betting 10 pounds a hand and lost 11/12 hands in a row (one pontoon against pontoon) for the bust. I now have to wager through 700 pounds next month [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
