Help me decide if i should casino whore

[Pelion]

I play poker on a fairly limited (but slowly climbing) bankroll. I can manage $100 for a starting bankroll for casino whoring but i was wondering what the varience was like because if i lost it i probably couldnt afford to try another casino until my poker bankroll builds up enough to take some out.

I plan to play $1 bets (or maybe 2) to clear the bonuses at blackjack sticking excactly to the wizardofodds BJ chart and i was wondering how many of you have busted or nearly busted while excactly following optimum strategy and placing reasonably small bets.

If you busted after deviating from the strategy chart you were using well silly you and i dont want to hear about it =)

Do $5 bets. $1 bets would take forever.

I've done PlanetLuck/Starluck 4 times. Once for me, once for my sister. Broke even once, made hundreds the other.
CON is ZERO risk. Put $200 in, get $200 bonus, take $200 out and play with bonus.

Don't be a wuss. These sites practiacally want to give their money away.

I did both planetluck and starluck. Played the multi-player table and made three $2 bets each time. At starlucks I cleared $50, at planetluck I cleared $120. You can find more info reading ttanaka thread of his whoring adventure, its a sticky at the top. Also read reply's to the sticky. There's some good stuff there.

Both planetluck and starluck took me right at 2 hours to clear playing the multi player and sticking with $2 bets, playing 100% by the wizard of odds chart. Like I said, you can read ttanaka's threads and find alot of info you are looking for.

Also this link gives good info on betting strategy. http://suckout.blogspot.com/2004/12/...-size-for.html

There is risk envolved though, and once you committ that $100 I dont think you can withdraw it till you have met the wr. So if loosing that $100 is going to hurt then it might not be a good idea. But I found both of these to be pretty easy as long as you dont waver from the chart. Planetluck and Starluck are the only 2 I have done so far also.

Good luck and I wish you success.

With $100, you can "go for it", and probably be fine.

Or you can wade in slowly, using your BR to pick up little bonuses here and there.

Let me assure you, it is still good bonus hunting. Variance does happen, but once you get the math straight in your head, you HAVE to do it.

I have read that this "No Risk" method loses you future bonus opportunities at CON. True? I left my money in and played it out with $5 bets...profited $496 thanks to some serious luck.
