I HATE CASINOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright, I know i'm gonna get flamed for being a greedy dumbass but I just have to vent nonetheless.

So, I did a casino offer 2 nights ago, Golden Tiger Casino to be exact and i deposited an initial $300. After the %50 bonus, my total balance was $450. So I played blackjack for a couple hours, only playing 1 dollar hands until I got the hang of it and then upped my bets to $5-10 (sometimes $20). For the most part, i was using the blackjack chart everyone else uses. Well eventually I LOST it all. Being as stubborn as I am, I couldn't let them take my money like that so I deposited another $450, making my total deposit into the bank $750 (this was the most i could put in because of netellers transaction limit).

With that $450, i was playing a bit more aggressive, making some pretty high bets and eventually got my balance up to $1350! I was happy I made my money back plus another $600. This was around 11am and i called it quits. I went to eat, shower, watched some tv, etc. and about 3-4 hours later, I played again. After about an hour or so of playing, I got my balance up to $1850! that made it $1100 in profit so again, i said i would quit and not play anymore. I worked out, ate dinner, came home about 4 hours later and I couldn't help but play some more. After a couple hours of playing I eventually got my balance up to $2600, making my total profit $1850. I was about to call it quits again when i thought "$1850 is such an odd number. why not just go for the $2000." So despite my gut feeling, i played on. Within 1 hour, I LOST IT ALL!!!! ALL OF IT INCLUDING MY $750! I lost $2600 in less than an hour.

And now i'm so frustrated I can't even sleep. I'm such an idiot ( . What makes me angry is it wasn't so much the money that made me play on, it was the unevenness of $1850; $2000 just sounded better. Also, know that towards the end when I was in the $2000+ range, I was making bets of $100-$400 per hand, so you can imagine the stress on my mind.

I know I should stop and cut my losses but I have to keep playing and win my money back. So over the weekend, I'm gonna deposit $1500 and try to win my $750 back.

ANYONE CONSIDERING DOING CASINO OFFERS DON'T DO WHAT I DID, DONT EVEN START AND IF YOU DO, PLAY RESPONSIBLY. Hopefully my stupidity will help others not make the same mistake.

lol, yup.. you're a newb.... But that aside that has happened to the best of us. Maybe not that extreme but it has.

Theres nothing wrong with casinos offers as long as you're not an idiot
The charts only work if YOU STICK TO BETS OF 1$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why didnt you just turn on autoplay? you could have set your strategy to I'm gonna deposit $1500 and try to win my $750 back.be exactly the same as the chart and bet 1$ till you met the wager requirements for both the free site and to cashout of the casino.
Also when did you lose the 450$ before or after you met the wagering requirements?
NEVER try to keep playing once you've met the Wagering requirements of the site. I dont care what uber lucky streak you're having.
You played right into the casino's hand and you fell for it....
The "Im gonna win my money back" is the oldest trick in their book... ?
Do yourself a favor and cut your losses before you make things worse for yourself than they already are. You could make the 750$ back by
completing some free sites.... but to deposit more and more money into the casino is stupid. Don't get suckered again.....

Summary "I'm gonna deposit $1500 and try to win my $750 back."
J00 are a genious roll

That is the most ridiculous story I've ever heard. You were already up and had won your money but you decided to just keep going knowing there was a possibility that you could loose it all like before.
Why would you tell people not to do Casino offers when it was the casino is was you're fault

Your Disclaimer should read IF YOU'RE UP BY A LOT ALREADY AND YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO STOP DON'T BE A FOOL AND KEEP BETTING RIDICULOUSLY LARGE HANDS.

And Junior I wouldn't be one to talk b/c you were the one who made a post saying not to do a specific Casino just because you thought you were going to lose all of your money lol

<---- lost $50 in Noble Poker last night

It was a relatively up and down night...but I kept getting destroyed calling people's bluffs then getting rivered ( Usually as long as I have $10 I can make my way up, but I went all in on a pair of 8's to a guys K7 (he was trying to steal blinds). He hit running Kings on 4th and 5th street (

Damn dude thats a lot of money down the drain. But I'll admit those casinos and bingo sites are addicting.

true. But that was because i gave up on the casino before i had even
lost any money from my account.... at least i was smart enough to pull out with my profit as soon as i met the WR.... D
Bingo sites OWN all.... spend 25 cents on a card win 100$ +
(believe me ive done this.....)

Did the same thing (sorta). But I already did a ton of other casino offers, and made a profit of around 300$. So I placed 100$ into a casino and got 175$ bonus. I got up to 750$, wanted to goto 800$, and lost it all. Im over it now and I just say it is a learning experiance I will never forget. I only wasted 100$, but its that 650$ I could have had that kills me.

Wow, I'm fortunate to have done at least 7 casino sites and the lowest I won from a site was $15, no losses.

Dude, you gotta have some slef control. I passed the $110 the other night at bingos.com and told myself that if I ever dropped back down to $110, I'd cash out right then, since I'd only invested $10. I went up to $160, kept on gambling, and dropped down to $110.

And that's when you have to stick to your guns. I could have kept gambling while thinking "Man, I got to $160 before. I can do it again and THEN cash out!" But then I most likely would have fallen below $110 and been thinking to myself. "WHY DIDN'T I CASH OUT LIKE I SAID I WOULD!"

To sum up, don't play poker games if you can't control your gambling!

I love casinos. My self control is awful, but I've made hella money today

That's not exactly the best strategy either... Then you're pretty much doomed to only getting $110, because eventualy you WILL drop back down to there. You should keep raising that bar. Once you get past $150 you should say you'll cash out as soon as you drop back down to $150, and so on.

The best to do for casino and bingo offers is to cashout THE INSTANT you meet the WR IF you are on a lucky streak then leave 10-15$ in the casino when you cashout and gamble as much of that as you want...

I think the best way is to set limits, like every 50 dollars or so, with the exception of 20.

You start with 50 and hit 100. You goto 140 then drop down to 100 again and stop. No going below 100.

Or say you get to 100 then start going down to 80. You stop at 80 cause thats the exception of 20.



That's how I do it, anyways.

Good call. I forgot to add that on my way to $100, I would raise the bar every $10 as I made $20. Once I hit $100, I bumped it to $90 and then decided that if I could hit $175, I'd raise it to $150. Etc.

But you're right. Keep raising the bar and make sure you stick to it once you hit it.

I know your pain. That's why I don't play casinos anymore...

I've never deposited more then $75 though...

First you play and you think how sweet winning $50 would be. That would pay off the phone bill. Then you think about $100. That would pay most of the car insurance. Then you start thinking about $1000. A down payment on a car. Then you think about $5000. A new, used car.

THEN, you have no money.

It's happened to me so many times...
