Just bad luck? I'm starting to think NOT!!

[thebizb]

Would like your opinions on this please as i'm starting to think conspiracy!

Between October 2009 and November 2009 i made withdraws from a certain
casino of about between 10k-11k. However in the 14 months or so since i
was able to do this i've only been able to get 1 withdraw of $300 which i did just because it was a few months since i was lucky enough to get up a little bit.

In these 14 months i have gotten 0 playtime, near 0 bonuses and when i do hit a bonus i'm jumping for joy if its 10x my bet. The story from their cs is that "your just on a bad streak" .... a bad streak?? please not for 14 months, i'm really starting to think they are just getting their money back from me before they'll let me win again.

I have played at every casino within this group and each time it is the same result. I even within the last 24hrs joined the last 2 casinos in the group and played through $250 in about 1 hr betting anywhere from .09cents per spin up to $1.

Can someone really have a 14 month bad luck streak? i'd say thats unheard of, but hey maybe i'm just looking into it to much!

Their always going to tell you it's just a run of bad luck, but I have played online for 11 years now and the games are the worst they have ever been. $100 deposits are gone in minutes, hardly any free spins and like you said if your fortunate enough to get free spins they pay nothing. Needless to say the free spins are few and far between. The new RTG game "It's a Mystery" should be renamed "It's a Miracle" because it is if you can get the free spins without playing the 150 spins to get a bonus which never pays much at all.

I know all our griping sounds like nothing but sour grapes but it's more than that. I rarely bitch about the online casinos but it has come to the point where they are just taking players money and very few are winning. I remember one week where 10 RJ's were hit at iNetBet. Now I don't think one has been hit since before Christmas and it's the only one to hit. Their RJ's used to get around 4-6 thousand now they are way up there and no one is hitting crap! I've just had it with online casinos. I live within 5 miles of two Indian Casinos and your odds are much better there than online, so I've giving up playing online till something starts picking up. If everyone would do this the online casinos might open their eyes and get off these low payouts. I don't think any of them are paying out anymore than 85% if that.

Maybe a CS from iNetBet will come and post on this thread and tell up how many random Jackpots have hit at their casino in the last 2 month. I'd like to know.

...and it's not just RTG it's Rival, MG and all the rest of them. Almost impossible to win anythiing worth while at any of them anymore.

It's your imagination...just a run of bad luck...because many know that YEARS of experiences and THOUSANDS upon thousands of spins do not count for proof of any changes ...

I have had several months of bad luck, so 14 months is not so unusual. It is "opportunities to cash out", as well as ACTUAL cash-outs, that you need to look at. Constantly missing opportunities to cash out through setting a higher target can mean the bad luck is more severe than it need be.

I have learned through experience that I have missed many opportunities to cash out a worthwhile sum because I have tried for more.

Now, when luck turns sour, I lower my targets for cashing out, rather than playing on for something bigger. I tend to play "loose" after a decent run, and sometimes take this too far, giving back more than I should. I now try to cash out, and then "play loose" elsewhere with some of the winnings.

It is the earlier winning streak which was unusual, and NOT the mediocre 14 months that followed.

I find myself agreeing with you about the new RTG game "It's a Misery ".

I've played a few 1000 spins in real mode and play mode and every single time I got the free spins it was from the feature guarantee.

I'm going to give it a good hiding today just to see but it kinda blows so far.

As for losing streaks - it's difficult to say if it's normal or within expectations without knowing all the information like what bonuses you took and how many times you could have cashed out but didn't and bet size in proportion to bankroll (to name a few).

I always look at their monthly newsletter with winner's stories and screenshots. Seems things have slowed down as far as the number of RJ hits. There is a bit of filler in last months list but a progressive is a progressive even if it pays $5.

Just played the new game out....(fun mode of course) cost $150+ to hit the bonus round @ $2...win.....a whopping $12.40...and they wonder why so many have stopped playing as before.

Hit bonus round at another casino spinning 75 cent a spin, played out over $100 and hit another whopping $0

Yep...all is the same ...

thebizb: Can someone really have a 14 month bad luck streak?

No...IMPO...I went by how many deposits it took...if I went 14 months...I would have quit a long time ago...I never would have reached that long ....well...I guess I didn't...I gave it up a while back when I got hit in the head with a realization that it has become tossing money into empty holes....

The one thing that really truly bugged me about the games were when you got nothing after trying for $200-$300 at $1 a spin...I mean , now that is a cruel, cruel thing someone thought up...but yet, many are still taking it....why, I am wondering? There is nothing "fair" at all in those kind of non wins IMO...

The other side of the coin. Deposited $30 yesterday, played 25 cent spins, hit the mini random jackpot about 8 spins in, on the new game, It's a Mystery, at an accredited casino. First random ever for me. I think with the amount of spins it takes to hit the bonus rounds, the small bets are the way to go, gives the small depositor a much better chance of lasting and if you don't win big on the bonus rounds, it's not as frustrating when betting low. I would rather spend 150 quarters than 150 dollars.

I believe you.

Only if you know how much I spent to hit 2 RJs last month at INET and afterwards, how bad my game played. You will feel lucky you did not get them.

Would you like spend 11.5 K in exchange to win 2 RJs total 4K+?
