Recommend me some good casino Promotions/Bonuses

We can agree to differ. my six year old niece can use a calculator. It doesnt make her an expert in blackjack.

I didn't just use a calc. I created an original BJ house edge calc with more options than any existing one I have seen, such as listing stand deviation and both per hand & per wager outputs. And I use this calc to save time, instead of manually determining house edge for new games. Could your 6-year-old niece due this same? Could you do the same?

I consider most of your posts nothing more than self promotion and often inaccurate.

Let's get specific. What is a post that you consider inaccurate? I think my accuracy quite high. It is quite rare for anyone to correct my posts for having a mistake.

Are you telling me that your posts are anything more than cloaked spam?

I have over 2000 reputation points and nearly 400 thanked posts on this forum. If all my posts were all spam as you claim, I would not have a high forum rep.

Are you telling me that, you are a winning player?

I've made quite a significant net gain... consistently winning every month I have played. Are you telling me that you cannot win over time using bonuses?

I am stating that you are not an expert in this field. Next month I will invite a true expert in this field to explain the game to you. He runs a team of card counters and travels around Europe. His expertise is real and we have had a few discussions over this. Do you honestly want the risk of being exposed?

I am stating that your expertise is a cut n' paste job. I believe you can count to 21, anything beyond that is debatable.

If "this field" means online BJ or online casino bonuses, then believe I am as knowledgeable as nearly all who post on these forums. Some original BJ accomplishments (not cut & paste) include:
-Wrote first strategy I've seen for optimizing per wager (minimizing loss over a fixed wagering requirement), rather than per hand
-First to post house edge and strategy data for dozens of online variations
-First to post optimal strategy and house edge for some unique BJ-like games, such as 21 Duel (website link on 21 duel page)
-Wrote in my opinion, the best house edge and strategy calcs for the game available
-First standard deviation calc I've seen, first tables showing how SD changes with rules I've seen, first to discuss SD per wager, ...
-First I've seen to mathematically analyze various unique situations, such as speed vs variance for single vs multihand
-First to offer simulation of various online variations
-Hired as a consultant to design & analyze several original BJ games by game makers who were impressed with website

Is the expert you are inviting to explain blackjack on par with Wizard of Odds or Stanford Wong? As mentioned earlier, both say quite positive things about my site. They wouldn't do this, if it was just a "cut & paste job."

aka, I had a couple of years winning at blackjack consistently. I am expert enough to know I am no expert & quit ahead of the game.

I am a winning poker player, have taught others to do the same. Again I am no expert in this field but know enough to hold my own in a conversation.

I appologize if you think my posts towards you are insulting, I just consider your posts too spammy to take seriously.

[slafs]

I don't see where GaryWatsons attacks are coming from, they are at the least not called for in this thread!

A new user asked for a list of bonuses - aka23 provided the list custom made for his needs. And then GaryWatson starts hammering away on aka23, insulting his knowledge and telling him that his work is rubbish!?!

Not even considering the fact that aka has one of the best bonus listings and calculation tools around, the time and place for this is wrong!

aka23 - You have my full support here!

[GaryWatson]

slafs, your avator indicates that you are a webmaster. My real issue is not with aka's claimed knowledge. My issue is about spam. just because a few webmasters decide to team up, set up posts,etc irks me as much as my replies have touched a raw nerve with your group.

I might be wrong about my judgement, i might no be.

aka, I do not believe you make a healthy profit playing the game but I base that on your posts. You can try to baffle people with science all you want but when it comes down to it, you seem nothing more than a self promoter using this forum.

Online Casinos Online Casinos - Information, Experiences, questions and such. This is no place for ads or cloaked promos. Shills and spammers be warned

I will take a step back now but I thought it was worthwhile offering a different opinion.

[kmay87]

I can see both arguments here. It might look like aka is promoting his own website, but in my opinion, as others have said, he has a great website (and forum) which is helpful to both beginners and pros alike. A long time ago someone suggested his site to me and it was, and still is excellent. I've found bonuses on there which I hadn't read about anywhere else. Considering the amount of reps who visit this forum, if we all talked about what bonuses were good, which games to play etc they wouldn't last five minutes. But as his site is a bit more out of the way, it counters that problem.

The OP had a request which aka was suited to answer. I think it's great that people like him set up these websites as they prove a great resource. To call his posts spam is a bit harsh. We all know what true spam looks like, and what happens to the spammers, so if aka was thought to be one he wouldn't still be here!

There's quite a number of webmasters on here, half of whom I've never visted their sites. Having a link in your signature is all well and good, but it doesn't mean anyone is going to visit it.

Well Gary, you are way off, I am no webmaster, and how you managed to get that indication out of my avatar is beyond me. Following that, the rest of you "evidence/ranting" pretty much crumbles. The "group" you refer to is most likely all in your head. You obviously don't do much research before you throw things like this out.

The nerve you are hitting at my end is the fact that you are trying to nullify aka23s knowledge and contribution on this forum. As KMAY87 points out, aka23s page should be seen as an addition to this forum, not a threat by any means.

[manblue]

Thanks for all your replies guys!

But GaryWatson I think your attack was uncalled for because I was looking for info just like that. And I am glad aka23 posted.

I just have a couple more questions:

If I am trying to make money of bonus offers, is blackjack the best game to play? And if so, which blackjack version has the lowest house edge?

Is it really possible to earn a profit with bonus offers in the long run?
And I read on KasinoKings website, that he is making consisten profit with bonus offers and playing slots. How likely is it that you are going to walk away with profit when playing slots? Blackjack?

And please recommend me ONE casino, that has the BEST bonus offer right now. (And with best I don't mean the largest bonus offer, I mean where I am most LIKELY to walk away with profit )

[aka23]

If I am trying to make money of bonus offers, is blackjack the best game to play? And if so, which blackjack version has the lowest house edge?

When blackjack is allowed and weighted the same as other games, it is usually the best choice for the style of play you describe. Note that many bonuses do not permit BJ or weight it much lower than other games.

Which version has the lowest house edge depends on which gaming software you are using. The lowest house edge overall is probably Boss Media SD BJ, assuming it is still at Two Sixes (all other Boss casinos dropped the game long ago). VueTec computerized BJ also has a slight player edge.

Is it really possible to earn a profit with bonus offers in the long run?
And I read on KasinoKings website, that he is making consisten profit with bonus offers and playing slots. How likely is it that you are going to walk away with profit when playing slots? Blackjack?

Yes, it is possible to earn a profit. I have calcs and simulators that list the percent chance of a profit for a particular bonus. Slots have a much higher house edge and variance than BJ, so when weighted the same and making low variance bets, you have a better chance of coming out ahead with BJ.

And please recommend me ONE casino, that has the BEST bonus offer right now. (And with best I don't mean the largest bonus offer, I mean where I am most LIKELY to walk away with profit )

The best depends on your particular situation and values. As I new player, you might prefer a small bonus with a low wagering requirement, rather than a larger bonus with a greater potential for profit. You might also prefer a quality software that is fun to use over a superior bonus on poor software that is frustrating to use. To illustrate my point, the positives and negatives for 3 of the better ones are listed below:

Coral (£25, 5xB) -- Small bonus with low wagering so good place to start out, poor software
Littlewoods (£100, ~14xB) -- Outstanding bonus with low wagering, poor software, and mediocre reputation (since being acquired by 888)
William Hill ($50, 16xB) -- Higher BJ wagering than the others, but excellent software and reputation. It also is a good choice for some non-BJ games due to increased weighting (reduced wagering).

thanks for posting aka23.
Does anyone else have any input?

[dendrite]

Hi

Seems like most of the better bonuses are in UK casinos?

Just wanted to mention, that as an affiliate, I've noticed some players cashing out decent wins when they play using the Superior Casino's 'casino games bonus'

I'm not really expert on this offer, as I focus entirely on slots, rather than table games. I don't play or promote table games, but rather slot offers. But just posting these on the thought that they might be pretty good (for as US casino), given that I've had players cashing out from them.

First deposit - 35x wagering requirement 50% up to $100
Second deposit - 25x wagering requirement 30% up to $300
Third deposit - 20x wagering requirement 20% up to $200

Cheers
