Just to add a little input from another new player. I just took my first significant downswing over the last two days. I had adjusted me October goal to $1000, after making $500 in Sept. somewhat easily. I got too confident - As of Saturday I was around +800, but took a -$210 nose-dive in the last two days....and I had just recently been doing the bonus whoring thing and my winning are spread over 4 sites right now....so I'm in a slight pickle. Play this site with a smaller than normal roll, stop playing at this site and clear bonuses at the other sites and redeposit. I am still up roughly $600 for October, but I am spread a little too thin bonus whoring. All this to say: I feel your pain with the big swing and learn from my mistake - don't take the bonus whoring too far too fast.
