I think no one would get to TJ as you would miss your lay(way too often)over in Vegas and just have to be stuck there. However, you prolly could find an underground tunnel and walk to TJ if you want...............only the wacky will be needed from TJ

lol, well my 22.5k was all in cold deposits unfortunately. I lost most in 3x5k hands at BJ at will hill. I'm not saying It's rigged, but i did get very unlucky when betting that big (like I got 21v6 and pushed).

On the plus side, it was basically all the profit that I had made in one year. And to be fair I was getting a bit cocky, so I think I had it coming. When I lost a bit I'd martingale sometimes, and had always won. On this occasion, I'd got a slots bonus, ended up about $10 up or so, but pressed on and decided to quit when i next hit the bonus round. It didn't happen, and as i pushed bets up, i lost about $2k. So i quit and decided to make it back in BJ. That didn't happen either.

So.... I lost everything that I made in just over a year's careful play. So it was all profit (well I was net -2k). And I think I learned a ""valuable"" lesson. Hmm!

It was obviously pretty rubbish, but it doesn't keep me awake at night or anything, partly cus I lost something that wasn't mine really, partly cus I think I had it coming to me anyway, and partly cus I didn't NEED that money really (tho would have been nice!). I learnt my lesson.....

And now I'm over +4k in profit again

But Will Hill didn't make me a VIP or anything, and I only got a lousy 25 quid back in comps, and that was it

Won slowly and lost fast on Boss media blackjack

Hi, yesterday was my darkest evening ever and I don't know how I can emotionally recover from that. Last weekend I joined German Casino Club which had a generous bonus and single deck blackjack with a slight player advantage (+0.15%). I deposited only 25 and got 100% bonus. I won very quickly on blackjack and roulette and had a balance of 700. I decided to withdraw it all but was only able to withdraw 500 because for higher amounts they will send verification code by regular mail which takes one week to arrive.

So I withdrew 500 and had 200 left on my balance to wait for the verification letter by mail. However, while waiting for that mail I decided to play with my remaining 200 a little bit. I played single deck blackjack with small (1 - 5 ) bets and stopped as soon as I gained 25 over my starting balance that session, that is 200 -> 225 -> 250 ->. Then I did something else and returned to repeat the same process the following day. Using this method I slowly and patiently increased my balance from 200 to 750 . Every day I hoped for the mail to arrive to get the security code for withdrawal and had decided to withdraw the amount I have at that point.

This scheme worked fine until yesterday. I started with a balance of 675 and got 3 blackjack hands in a row. Therefore I quickly hit the 750 mark and this was the amount I had decided to stop on playing anyway.
But then I started thinking that I have grown my balance from 200 to 750 using only small (1-5 ) bets so why shouldn't I try something bigger and if I lose I will stop at 675 balance where I started from the same day. So I started betting 25 per hand but the odds really turned against me and I lost 5 first hands in a row plus a double bet. I couldn't believe my bad luck so I continued hitting with 25 and losing rapidly. I wish I had come to my senses and stopped at any amount but I just felt I couldn't stop because I had had so much trouble building the bankroll slowly and I felt I don't have the patience to do it again so I kept betting 25 until I lost it all. It took only about 100 hands to lose all of the 750 I had built so the return percentage during these 25 bets was

(100*25 - 750)/100*25 = 70 %

So the game which allowed me to build my bankroll slowly, suddenly gave only 70% return when I increased by bet size to 25 . So either the game is rigged with bet size or I was just incredibly unlucky. I hate myself for playing such a disciplined game for so long and then losing all my self-control in a split second. It is true as someone said that gambling is 90% boring grinding and 10% pure horror.

I guess I should feel lucky since I still withdrew 500 for my 25 deposit but getting that 750 extra would have compensated for all my losses up to this point. And what happens the next day? I get the verification code by mail where they say I can now withdraw the rest of my winnings but there's nothing left to withdraw...
