Blackjack is a waste of time and money in my opinion. Odds of winning are against you. You might as well just dump that $10 to me. I'll add it to my reload bonus and you can double it in no time.

I got this email a couple of weeks ago too.... It's not the worst site, but I don't think it's worth playing there regularly, bonus or not. I'd rather chip away at a Full tilt Reload bonus instead, for example...

Well, I remember being upset because they never offered me the free $10 bonus when I first signed up with them, like they offered everyone else.

But was pretty easy to earn the points, much easier than Pacific (nightmare there)

I'd be receiving 100% of my deposit, that's so worth it don't you think?

Is FT offering 100% bonus aswell?

Instead of this:
I got this:
SPECIAL 20% CASH BONUS - on your next deposit, up to a maximum of $100.


Sure, the withdrawal restrictions suck (50 pts/$1), but I get to play with $110 of their money.

bunny:

1. Yes, offers a $100 deposit bonus up to $600 for your first deposit, and they regularly offer 50% up to $300 reloads. I know you are easily impressed by the percent, but that doesn't really mean anthing - it's the release requirements that are important. They could offer you a 10,000% bonus up to $1 million, but it it's impossibly to clear, you'd be better off going after a 1% bonus up to $10. See and their never ending bonuses for a fine example of what I mean.

2. Do yourself a favor and don't talk about Black Jack "strategy" any more.

Holy shit, thats alot of extra RD, nice going. Did ya dump a few $k to them at the BJ tables?? lol

And bunny, BJ online has exactly the same odds as in a casino. In fact, some are even better. Live casinos its you and the dealer, online its you and the deal, just cos its a computer program doesnt mean its different. It gets dealt 2 cards and has to hit to hard 17 aswell.

ONline BJ there are a million variations. The best odds online are at Super Fun 21 BJ, on microgaming software. Double any 2 cards, surrender after doubling, BJ pays 3/2, dealer has to hit soft17. BJ ties push. Basically your at 49.7%. In Live BJ without being able to count or cheat in anyway, your at 47.5%. I know this cos i just read it. And yes it was concrete evidence

People can make odds for BJ being fixed, but i dont see it. Why risk the millions you make a year to fix some $10 hands of BJ

Trick is to know the % your playing at, at find the best one.

And as for the BJ and Poker winning % reference, i think this sentence and smiley sums that statement up - Yeah, of course it is
