Free money - a poll

[the slow norris]

so call me slow but is the process as follows:
1) you go on to 888, deposit $200, receive $200 free
2) bet $200 using the betting charts
3) 888 realise that you have bet all your free money
4) anything you've made is (essentially) free and you can withdraw all your money
5) splash out on the missus

If by some miracle you lose all your free $200, can you withdraw your original $200 with no harm being done to your monthly food budget?

not quite, you have to bet $2000 (ten times your bonus)

But by playing blackjack and following the rules you should win as much as you lose so as long as your cash does not go below $200 by the time you finish you will make money.

Therefore if you play using $5 a game you will need to play 400 games in total

Thanks for letting me know gaz. sweet jeesus, How long does it take to bet the $2000?

Also is it wiser to bet at $5 or $10? I guess if you use the charts, the smaller the bet the better as the charts require a deal of time to make sure you come out even. But will the charts still work at $10 a time as this route, in theory, means you could be blown out in 20 goes?

Do $5 a hand. Any more and you run a real risk of losing out. 400 hands takes about 2 hours.

agreed, the $5 a time seems the most logical, dunno if I could take 2 hours of watching money come in and out though!

I played $5 hands. It took about 2 hours, four half hour sessions over three days. I drew out $550 , a profit of £174 after my credit card co had used unfair exchange rates to pinch their bit.

Those who cant be arsed- go for it before the free money goes, it cant be long.

For some reason I was given another free $10 a couple of days ago. Presumably to get me playing again and lose my winnings. However I have gambled that up to $100 playing $2 hands. So I have decided to draw out another $50, and am contemplating gambling the other $50 on one single hand for a laugh.

$340 profit, ~£170 so quite pleased with that.

Wont do it again though as the numbers don't seem like real money!
