Review of 2007 - how did you do?

[KasinoKing]

I have just finished my personal round up of 2007 - rather late mainly due to still playing December bonus WR's right up until the third week of January!

[shameless boast]
I always expected 2007 to be my 7th consecutive profitable year from playing online casinos of course, but I didn't expect it to be my best year ever!
I finished the year $8,427 up. However this was only so good due to 2 very significant months: In May I hit a $2,000 win from a $2.50 bet on Bejeweled, and in October I got £430 in scratch cards & won £600+ from playing the slot in Ladbrokes Osbourns promotion = another $2000+!
I only had 2 losing months in the year, but they were quite bad at $460 & $470 - I will try to cut out losses like that this year.

So how did you do in 2007?

[I Never Win]

Well king it sounds like you are one of the 2% of online gamblers who have the self-control to win. Sadly, I am one of the 98% who just get in the fast lane when winning and fire away. On at least six seperate occassions I turned $20-$100 into well over $2,500 only to have a nuclear explosion and watch it get blown away in a matter of minutes.

One could call me stupid and I would not really argue but then I look at my MBA from the Kellog school of Business (not the cereal) and realize the I am an action junkie. According to my excel spreadsheet 44% of the time I increased my initial deposit by five times or greater. But 87% of the time I ended up losing my winnings along with my deposit to go BUST. I guess I like the sense of closure I get from losing it all.

Quick note: FWIW the losses should not be capped to £5000. I believe many players are able to easily lose more than ten times than amount.

not bad KK!

i've just had a quick look at my account. I've only played at 32red and only been playing there since July/August and i'm pleased to announce.....(drum roll please)...

i'm £688.80 UP

not bad as a newbie

I had to choose Don't want to talk about it as I didn't play last year. But 2008, if it continues in this vein, is going to go down in Mousey's history books as the worst year ever.

I realised last night that it makes no difference if i win or lose. I was up £400 at 32Red and just didn't feel any desire to cash out.

It's just the same routine - deposit and click spin until balance reaches 0 ...... sure I might hit a feature but that just means it will take a little longer to reach 0.

I have no idea why I keep playing

I actually don't know how much I lost in 2007. It's probably in the range $500~$2500. It's OK for me. I had fun.

My best year ever.

After scooping a £17k RJ on Thor, I'm a few grand up.
