Pretty nice comeback story

**babs7262** · 25th June 2007, 08:42 PM

So

I wrote my usual "where's my money" to bodog (its been since 4/30) and they wrote me back and apologized and gave me a $20 bonus to make up for the delay. I was happy, free is free no matter what amount lol

I started playing Diamond Dozen (it is up to 14k). I got down to .19 cents and played 19 one cent lines. Of course I get the bonus round, but during the bonus round I got the 3 white diamonds and ended up with $45

After playing for 3 hours (which I had no business doing but it was at 14K and I did take breaks), I asked my husband to hit the spin button and explained how the game worked. I was just sitting way too long but wanted to see if the random would hit. I was at about $17 when I asked him to play. On his second spin he got the 3 white diamonds. It was 9 9 4!!! I hit for $250ish which brought me to $268 from 19 cents

I cashed out the $200 and played the remainder $68. Not bad huh? This time I asked for courior instead of check by mail and it got approved within an hour

Hi Babs...I have been asking this question on other threads but I understand it's not easy to answer. I am from NY. I purchase with Nucharge. Do you think if I win I will get paid from Bodog? I am ok with my cashout being delayed but if it is a matter of never getting paid then I'm a little concerned. Thanks for any help and congrats on your win. I love when that happens!

courier checks are like the ponyexpress. Regular checks even worse, checks are bouncing, one member of this forum just posted that he finally received a check after a month and a half, and it was not made out to him but somebody else. Would you play there?

I got a check about a week and a half ago from bodog and it did NOT bounce. I have also received checks from them in the past. Granted...this one payment is taking very long, but they have been paying me

I am frustrated about being paid late but...Bodog is a big company, I see them on cable all of the time. They are having problems because of the US thing. Yes, I am mad at them, but do I think they are scammers? No

Besides, this money I just won is from a bonus they gave me so I have nothing to lose.

I just love comeback stories!

I've done it loads of times from crazy balances like 60p up to �100's!

Slotster had a good one I think, where he cashed in his rubies and got up to a few �k or something like that.

Nice one babs.

$10 loyalty cash in at Roxy Palace, two spins at $5 on Harveys, second hit the feature for just over $200. Cut a long story short and a few hours later I had a $4500 cashout in 'reverse withdrawal'...

Thanks to Roxy Palace's absurd reverse policy and their refusal to flush, I subsequently lost it over the next few days. Entirely my own fault and stupidity of course, not the casino's... Still, they got uninstalled the same day and I've never been back since, so I guess I won in the end...

Now that is what I call a rollercoaster!

About a month ago I had two fun comebacks in a row at Wild Jack. I'm more of a table game guy, so I rarely seek out the really big wins.

The first was a deposit I made that had a small (like 10%) bonus attached, when I was clearing out the last funds in my click2pay account. I ended up with a balance of like $99. I took it to my old friend, single deck blackjack. Now, when I "go for it" on blackjack, I just bet half my bankroll, leaving the other half available for splitting/doubling. The generally idea is to expose as few hands as possible to the house advantage.

I go on a wicked losing streak, and I just keep halving my bets each time. Finally, my balance drops to about 30 cents. I take it to one of the slots (Avalon), and get a small win. Which I then hit with the "gamble" feature, I manage to pick the right suit, and my balance is back at 3 dollars and change.

That's enough to bet $1 at the blackjack table, and I just start betting half of my bankroll, increasing as much as possible on each win. I go on a wicked winning streak, and get the balance up to about $300 (which was my initial target point).

... then, a week later, I turned $10 bonus cash from WJ into about $100, again at the tables.

And then I proceeded to lose a number of $200 deposits elsewhere.

agree with everything you say,its just the payouts are taking forever and my main concern would be after july 9th when banks and processors have to comply with the law, if you haven't been paid by then you might be out of luck.
congrats on your win though.
