Brain F*rt while playing without a bonus

[Mousey]

I've never done something this dumb before, but maybe I won't ever do it again...

Made a deposit Friday at JC and took a bonus. Played quite a while, eventually busting out. No biggee...

On Sunday, made a deposit at INet, NO bonus. Took my $46 up to $300... and what did I do????? Like an idiot I kept playing, just 'knowing' I hadn't met WR yet. When I was down to $50, I went into the cashier just to check on the wagering and ... guess what?? I didn't even take a bonus, so I totally blew a very rare chance to cash out.

Brain F@rts R Us.....

Worst panic I did was open a Betfred account one Saturday evening, made 50 into 340 on IronMan2 and cashed out about 3AM. I then, before waking at about 9.30 AM, had a dream that I had played there before and shut the account so would have winnings voided. I woke in a panic, logged in using the same username and password to Betfair only to see the dreaded 'contact customer service' message. Red-faced and fuming, I made a coffee and sat there depressed. As I was drinking the coffee, I just knew something was wrong, I had missed something. I went to my e-mail, looked in the trash for the welcome message from the previous night, and then realized I had joined Betfred! I hurriedly logged in and sure enough my account was OK, my w/d processed (and I received it the following Tuesday!)
Obviously elated by this I tried to think why I had been such a bellend, but it was just a basic mistake because 2 different casinos had Bet followed by 4 letters beginning with 'f' and I had used the same username and password. That is why today I can always picture the gool old red, white and blue Betfred logo in my mind...

Oh Mousey. I'm blaming my addled brain on the heat, feel free to borrow my excuse.

Is there a minimum before you can withdraw at Inetbet for US players?

Not as bad as the above but....
I remember putting £100 or so on Vettel to win the Australian Grand Prix one year, only I put it on him to win the Championship by accident so had to wait 8 months to see the winnings from that, to make matters worse I couldn't change my deposit method after I lost my credit card at that bookie as I had an outstanding bet pending.

If I remember correctly, there's a minimum of $250 (plus a $50 fee) for a wire, and for a check it's something like $100 or $150.
