Should I take deposit bonus

ProfaneReality · 03-03-12, 01:04 AM

need more info ... are you depositing to win rent money in a hurry? if so, no bonus.

if its cash yes.. thats a good deal..

but in general.. if ur a overnight bettor who plays one game and wants a withdrawal (i.e. stupid

) then no bonus.

but if u post up and bet a week or two at least u should have that complete in no time.. take the free money!

Unless you are planning on hitting and running (which is silly in most cases) or giving up something like reduced juice no reason to not to take a bonus...

Details, please, as I have a 5D account and might deposit there if this is really worth it.

I would do it with 5dimes but not Betislands. BI is good at Applying the rollover to the deposit plus the deposit fee plus the damn bonus itself .Lots of good options at 5dimes.

Yeah why do people deposit then withdrawal right away? If you want to gamble just have an account you have some money in....and if you are trying to gamble one day then withdrawal to pay the rent the next you are without question doing it wrong.

My advice would be just the opposite... i.e. If I was going to play at bet islands I would take one there while I wouldn't at 5dimes (since you have to give up reduced juice to take one there)...

Unless you are going hit and run you will eventually clear any rollover amount or bust regardless of the amount...

Why is "hitting and running" dumb or stupid? You have a game you see and think you gave a winner. You win then get your money out.

Because in general the way to successfully bet is long term steady bets on +EV bets, not popping all your cash on a Roulette Table, even if it's a +EV roulette table.

Add to that the transaction costs (time to get payout and the fees) and its an even worse plan.
