Abbaddabba 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I havent used party in a few months and have nothing in it.They put 50 in my account and i have to play 'casino games' to withdraw. Did anyone else get this? What did you do?It says you have to wager $50 to clear it. Does that mean i can put $50 on a hand of blackjack and if i win, withdraw $100? Link to post Share on other sites

Abbaddabba 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 I played 10 blackjack hands for $5 a piece.I ended up with only $27 left, took it to a 2/4 table because (last i recall) the min withdrawl amount is $50. Got it up to $52, and it's now been withdrawn. Awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
Verdimme 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 If you want to be 99% sure to get some money out of the deal, just bet 25 on black and 25 on red at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites
Abbaddabba 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 I probably would've done that had i thought of it at the time, even though you probably average a smaller loss playing 10 consequtive hands of $5 blackjack "by the book".Or you could put $24 on red, $24 on black and $2 on green as a safe goard. A loss of $1 for 17/18 outcomes leaving you with $49, and a loss of $16 for 1/18 outcomes leaving you with $34. Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I played 10 blackjack hands for $5 a piece.I haven't read the whole thread; but playing Blackjack is one way to damage a hard earned poker bankroll.I realize you only played $50 worth ( 10 x $5 ) but that can be a lot if your BR is $200 or less. Take it from someone who knows, playing BJ is -EV. If your Poker game is suffering just take a breakRead some books.Post hands that give you a bit of trouble.Party will try to do anything to suck you in to the Casino.After all they want to make money, too.hope this helps.and welcome to Strategy Forums.be sure to post your goals.

I've had that happen at a few online casinos before. I usually either run it up to $100+ and cash out, or lose it all.On a related note, I have made over $1600 clearing deposit bonuses on online casinos by playing blackjack. In fact, I deposited $100 on Intercasino last night and cashed out $300 in just under an hour. Link to post Share on other sites

Abbaddabba 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 You dont understand.I have a system to beat blackjack. My strategy is to follow my instincts and go with my gut. I think i might have a 4th sense for things like this! Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 My strategy is to follow my instincts and go with my gut. I think i might have a 4th sense for things like this!saw a guy on CSI like that.It can be very profitable.But what you are doing is not based on real life science (this guy had a specially wired CentralNervousSystem )You more than likely are on a temporary variance upswing and will come crashing down sooner than later.Variance evens out.So if you are up, you will always come back down, at almost the same rate.Variance is a statistical measure of the deviants from the mean.You can always play on the free money tables until you work out your poker game kinks.

Sluggo 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Blackjack is a +EV game when you're playing with casino bonuses. Intercasino has a monthly bonus that you can get each month just by playing some blackjack. Link to post Share on other sites

I ran mine up to 150 after a few minutes of playing bj and quit. Thanks party. Link to post Share on other sites

subsin 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 how come i never got an extra 50? my friend gets in once in a while, is there anything i have to do? Link to post Share on other sites
Abbaddabba 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 It's account specific.They didnt say what the criteria was to decide which accounts gets what, but i have a feeling it has something to do with volume of play and deposits. The fact that ive had tens of thousands of dollars flowing on and off the site via neteller probably makes has them frothing at the mouth at the prospect of me playing on their online casino.
