Just a gesture of appreciation for bovada

[Savatage79]

I've been with them now since about last may and I just have to say that the folks who work there are nothing but a pleasure to work with no matter the situation, they're polite on the phone, they fix your issues, they are from my standpoint simply on top of it all when it comes to taking care of customers. And I totally want to say I appreciate that.

I have done pretty well since arriving, take home cash has been close to 30k and thats not counting the handful of times i racked a grand or so and squandered it. But what I appreciate is they have never given one issue when it comes to payments, nothing. It might be a tad slow at times but it comes each and every time without fail, and for me as a player there for over a year I just have many thanks for making my time enjoyable.

I still believe in the "switch" at times but it always seems to come back around and that's what I've noticed is even when I'm in a rut, man it comes back in such thunderous fashion.

But yea, just a little thread of appreciation for Bovada.. They've given my father and I a great time and have paid us a nice bit of extra change, thanks again!

Payments a little slow? They are top rated with regard to payout speeds in most of the online poker payout reports! If for some reason you're not satisfied with their traditional payment method speeds (checks, wires, etc), I highly highly suggest learning how to use bitcoin. It is a bit intimidating at first, but ultimately, it's very fast, cheap, and easy to use once it's set up and running.

 

[Savatage79]

It's not anything major but yea it's a little slow at times. Like a few times I've cashed out and no prob it'll say it's going to take about 3 days to process etc... But then sometimes they will send emails suggesting another option to get my money when my original option was chosen for a reason, just feels like they stall a bit at times. Which they will say if they don't hear from me within the next 48 hours they will continue with original payment form. So it's frustrating because it adds then even another few days to simply pull my money which they know when it sits there it tempts people.

And my checks typically utilize the 3 full 5 day weeks to arrive.

It's no sweat tho, they pay each and every time and that's all that matters.

And I'm just not in the bitcoin scene yet, which I know would be faster but I like a good check.

I was just like you. Reticent to use bitcoin and attached to paper checks. Once I tried btc though, I never went back to paper checks.

Well bovada atm can go seriously diaf right now.. I am experiencing the most ungodly cold streak imaginable.

Gambling will always come back to haunt you. Especially if you're playing the -EV casino games. They just opened their poker room back up. Perhaps try playing poker, which is the only potentially +EV game to play there. Of course, you have to study poker and become good enough to beat other players, and the house rake. But it's completely doable to become a winning poker player, specially at the lower stakes with weak competition.

Yea, it just gets way to cold sometimes to the point I have to stop. When normally it seems I win some lose some and that balances out in a pattern that's enjoyable enough to keep going. After every big pay it goes so cold I have to stop for a few months, happens like clockwork. So just on a hiatus, sadly never been much of a poker player, wish I was tho

I hate to say it, but I think you're just finding patterns where none exist. I've been a professional poker player for over a decade and I win on all the sites. Not every month on every site, but in the aggregate, good strategy and good game selection always wins out in the long run. The games aren't rigged to give hot and cold streaks. That's just how statistical variance works. When someone interprets it as something else, it's just some sort of

creeping into a human brain trying desperately to make sense of complicated mathematics that it wasn't necessarily wired to do.

 

[Savatage79]

It is what it is, pattern or not my actual experiences has been this.

Play have fun, win some lose some.
Hit pretty big and cash out.
Get check
Lose lose lose lose lose lose nonstop for weeks on end til I quit
Take break for a month or so.
Come back and then it seems normal win and lose some in a fun manner until I hit decent again.

But it's been about 5 or 6 cash outs where I instantly go into a losing streak that isn't even fun to work with. Every deposit straight to 0 no matter what game.

So it is what it is but that's pretty much how it goes for me.

Overall Happy With Bovada

Did great there this month. Only thing I don't like is that I request a check and don't get the tracking number until after it's been delivered. I had a $1,520 check sitting on my front porch overnight until I found it the next day. Signature required but apparently DHL didn't feel they needed to wait for one. Usually it's sent FedX overnight, signature required. Got my tracking number from Bovada that night so it didn't do me any good.

So now I have another approved cashout (turned $24 in comps into $700) and I'll be checking the front porch multiple times a day. Haven't really looked into BitCoin so I know it's an option. Just saying that there's a problem with getting a tracking number before it's actually delivered.

Good to hear man. Yea I do good except when I hit my cold streaks obviously. You play slots or poker?

Slots. Scary Rich/Scary Rich 2 can still be very generous on low bets. Played on the 100% (100/100/5000) match for the $1,520 and had a few $300+ hits in the bonus spins. For the $24 comps, I ran it up to over $1,000 (great SR/SR2 hits), cashed out $700. Bets were only .60 or .80. Strangely enough, my best hits are early AM, always has been.

Have another 31 in comps. Maybe SR/SR2 will be good once again.

This last cash out was approved in under 48 hours. I'm not around here much, but I don't recall hearing anything bad about this group. Certainly not from me.

I'll have to give that a try man, awesome to hear. Yea when you're on at bovada you're on, that's what I've always liked and noticed. I'll have to give that slot a try.

I actually racked up goldbeard again the other night to 2400 bucks, caught it on a 5 and 10 buck spin... It's sort of easy to predict once you get it going. But I crushed it tryin to hit for some 100 and 20 buck spins lol that one hurt... But I thought if I could catch it on a 100 it'd be glorious. Gonna try that scary rich game tho man, thanks for the heads up

Haven't played that game in a while.

SR/SR2 have been around a long time. It can be extremely brutal, like 10 free spins of nothing or take a long time to get the 3 scatters. On SR2 a couple days ago, 13 spins I won .10. Ugly. Bonuses seem to come easier on SR2.

Both games can be very good if you hit the 3 wilds in the bonus that expand and cover all of reels 1, 2, and 3.

Good luck!

Congrats on the wins this month. Were I you, I would have waited until next month to cash out a second time since you only get one free cash out per month on Bovada. With that said let me address the bitcoin question.

There are lots of ways to set up bitcoin, tons of software, hardware, etc that you can use. However, the easiest way is to use online wallets. As such, I recommend using Coinbase as your exchange to buy bitcoin, not because it's cheapest, but because it's simple. Then I suggest you use blockchain.info as your actual wallet which will hold your btc and from which you will send to Bovada or any other poker or gambling site. Here's a

Actually cashed out at the end of August so no fee for that or this cashout. I know about the one free cashout rule. Because I got the check last week, I forgot my play was in August! No matter, should have said the last 30 days...

Thanks for the info on Bitcoin. Fast payouts with no charges looks pretty good.

Another suggestion regarding bitcoin if you go with the tried and true Coinbase+Blockchain exchange/wallet combo. Buy your bitcoin as much as you can "in bulk" from Coinbase rather than say $20 at a time. The fees on Coinbase have been high lately and you'll lose a significant chunk off a $20 deposit. But if you buy say, $500 at a time it's much more manageable vig wise. Of course, this may not even apply to you since you've been cashing out. Just be sure to withdraw to your wallet and not your exchange. Always use the wallet for sending/receiving from gambling sites. Only use the exchange for converting into fiat/local currency.

I decided to finally deposit here and see what happens. After having no success at 3Dice, I deposited $50 and played slots. I managed to request a payout of $2200 via bitcoin. I know I need to send in my verification docs since this is my first withdrawal. I had a lot of fun with the slots and will definitely deposit again.

After having NO luck at 3Dice this morning... Woot, hit free spins on Scary Rich 2 @ Slots.lv (bovada sister site) at $5 a spin... three coffins & two rats later I had 3500 in my account. (On the third spin, was only going to spin 4x.)(If you're not familiar w/that one, Savatage, the coffins are expanding wilds & multipliers in free spins.)

Blew a thousand of it & have a pending bit w/d now for $2500. Not bad for a $25 deposit.

Not too long ago Bovada was downright awful when it came to payments. They had serious issues and pissed off a lot of people! Glad to see they are back to the way they were.

 

[alexking12k]

I was just like you. Reticent to use bitcoin and attached to paper checks. Once I tried btc though, I never went back to paper checks.

I was always, and still am hesitant to use Bitcoin. Main reason being that the exchanges such as Conbase have a tendency to ask where the bitcoins came from and will shut your account down if they find out it's gambling related.

I'm so jelly!! Hah nice win labeled! Man I really need to get into scary rich 2, I have tried and I seem to spin so many without even a little hit but I will give it a try again here. Yea 2500 is a nice take away!

How's SR2 with .40 and dollar hits? I'm assuming you worked it up around those numbers.. Does it have some nice hits for those smaller wagers?

 

[alexking12k]

Ops! My bad and thanks I hope so too! I just need a little something lol it's an ungodly cold steak!

Your story reminds me of mine quite a bit. I started off hot at Bovada (then known as Bodog), made about $10,000 in less than 2 weeks. Fast forward about 4 months and I was down about $35,000 ($45,000 - $10,000 that I won). Fast forward another 2-3 years, down another $40,000. My point being, if you are having prolonged cold streaks and are losing money in bunches, QUIT while you still can before you ruin your health. Discovering Bovada/Bodog was my biggest regret in life. I've been gambling free to for about 1.5 years now and built up a very nice bank balance thanks to some great business decisions but it could've easily been much much worse! Just a word of caution, my friend! They say that gambling should be fun but, in reality, it is anything but.

Wow that is seriously sounding like my situation a bit and here's why, since about last may In total I've won about 35 to 40k...had a jackpot win for about 10k, had a handful of 1500,1000, 2k, 4k cash outs... And I mean I know that isn't sustainable but it starts to get fishy to me when I literally can't even have fun. In June in goldbeard I racked 3k but sadly lost it, won back 2200 or 2400 cashed, came back and won 4k and cashed...and since then I simply am giving even red cent back. And I mean I've never had it this bad.

But what I hate is no matter where I go now....my deposits are just gone without even teaser builds of winning a 100 bucks or so.. I just spin to nothing now nonstop and I'm not so deep where I feel sick but I feel like why can't I have even a little redemption right now? Slots aren't like the lotto where it's next to impossible, they do payout that I'm convinced and know... So why can I typically play and enjoy my spinning winning and losing, then go to literally loss after loss, loss loss loss loss loss.... Loss...nonstop weeks on end.

Like I always said, flipping a coin is random...if you'd flip that coin 50 times. I just don't see how you could go on a steak for like 25 flips or in this case deposits, getting only one side. The chances I'm sure are mathematically there but probably so low its not even worth considering.

As for quitting, I hear ya... But I also have enjoyed some nice cash I wouldn't have had in a nice chunk if I didn't play. I enjoy it and I don't think I'm to far gone because I keep it pretty balanced but right now I do feel I could quit as I'm spinning my wheels and have for weeks now no matter where I go

My friend, I know the situation and the shitty feeling all too well as I've been through the exact same thing on more occasions than I can count. Constantly playing and not even enjoying it anymore but constantly going back to those slots (my vice was European Roulette) and constantly losing. Then a small win streak comes where I would cash out 1/10 times and lose all others. My greatest (s)hit was when I deposited $300, worked it up to just over $50,000 in about 10 days, cashed out $7,500 and lost the rest in less than 24 hours. That was the straw that broke my "addiction camel's" back. It's been over 1.5 years and I lost only about $1,000-$1500 mostly on sports (betting on underdogs), an amount that I would normally lose in 1 month. This may sound crazy but I'm happy that I lost most of that win as I feel that, had I cashed out, I would've continued to play and given it all back eventually and more. When I think about it, gambling is not fun and we gamble not to win money but because our brain is just looking for action (read: fix). If we can flip that switch off, we have effectively killed our addiction.
I hope that you either put together a nice win streak or that at least you come to the realization that gambling is not doing you any good and you are able to chalk off the losses and walk away. Either way - best of luck to you!

How's SR2 with .40 and dollar hits? I'm assuming you worked it up around those numbers.. Does it have some nice hits for those smaller wagers?

It is fantastic at .40 (and yes, you're right), some of my most surprising wins on SR and SR2 have been at .40 - several hundred dollar hits. A dollar is usually terrible for me, tho! They'll both "let you know" if they're going to pay or not. Usually will hit really fast, within a few spins, or keep giving you bet-or-above winlines until they decide to hit.

Today was a little bit of everything of my fave Rival games, Gushers Gold hit bonuses and the "jackpot" feature, Shamrock Isle hit free spins quickly, same with Candy Cottage, which then hit the bonus round 2x in FS. Nice nice nice when it goes that way! lol

Better luck to you, I know how frustrating it gets after you've had some nice hits then nada for months.

 

[Savatage79]

Man I'm now feeling a tad sick. Like another 400 or so and just couldn't build any higher than like 150..i mean I can't get anything that gets me fired up, just doesn't matter what I do.. I was on casinomax, bovada, ignition, all the same... Just nothing.

I just have not had this hard of a time catching a bonus round on a 2 or 5 spin and getting that 6 700 dollar hit to where I can least clock or keep trying for more.

Sometimes I sit and think how sick slots can be... It's like wtf am I doing, yet when I win its glorious but these moments it's just terrible...

I guess I don't understand the mathematical possibilities that I can spend a few thousand now over the course of a few months and not get a single worthwhile hit. I know slots are built to make you lose but I went a year with never going more than maybe 2 weeks or so without something.

It's why I can't help but think something is tied to a person's social, I know it's probably not true but when someone takes a good 30 grand or more I feel they're like "ooook you're on timeout buddy"

You might need to step back and stop playing for a while. It seems like you're chasing a big win rather than just playing for fun and entertainment. That's a big problem and leads to a very slippery slope. I think we all experience the highs that come with winning and the lows of losing but realize that's the nature of the beast with gambling. You win and you lose some. I just hope that you consider my unsolicited advice. Please know that I wish you nothing but the best.

You both are totally right, believe me I totally agree and it's what I need to do right now because I have told myself before there's no chasing the money, so I know that's when it gets rough.

I just need to lay low a bit and like you said Rachelle just play for fun.

Gonna try to relax a bit now and take my time with it.

And Alex man, if I burned away 40k or so over night omg... I think I'd have to go dig a ditch and bury myself lol I would lose my mind!

Wise decision, my friend! Fortunately for me, the $40,000+ was all house money and the incident took place at a time when I was in good shape financially. In 2011, I remember depositing about $150, working it up to abt. $15,000 and blowing it all. That one hurt a LOT more as I could've really used that money at the time. If I recall correctly, that was at Las Vegas USA casino and, while accredited, those guys were AWFUL when it came to withdrawals and that's exactly how they got me.

Yea they let it linger for ya, that sucks.. That's what bovada does do occasionally is it'll just sit there and it's like I have to totally lock it out of my mind that it's there. I would kill to rack it up that high tho, man I hope one day I can get on a hot run like that.

Don't you hate it when they take forever to pay out? It would piss me off to no end every time I couldn't wait and ended up blowing the winnings as a result.

I was always, and still am hesitant to use Bitcoin. Main reason being that the exchanges such as Conbase have a tendency to ask where the bitcoins came from and will shut your account down if they find out it's gambling related.

The solution to your problem is Bitcoin. It is cheap, and payouts are much faster than waiting on physical checks.

You are correct, Coinbase does not want bitcoin to gambling site transactions or vice versa because they are regulated and operate within the United States. However, if you use an intermediate wallet after purchasing your bitcoins on the Coinbase exchange, then there is no issue. So for example, you set up a wallet at blockchain.info, buy your bitcoin at Coinbase, send them to blockchain.info, and then send them off to whatever your preferred gambling site(s) is/are.

When it comes time to withdraw, you use the same operation, but in reverse. Withdraw to your blockchain.info account, then send funds to Coinbase, then turn them into whatever your local fiat currency is. It costs very little time and money to implement this next step and it will keep you safe from any issues related to account closures.

Still the only place I can seem to ever make a dent in which at least I can win somewhere but man it's frustrating. All of my cashouts are from bovada and I have been enjoying the other rtg games out and about, the games themselves and their features mainly. I've tried casinomax, inetbet, cherry jackpot, uptown aces, then I swung over to slots lv... And I at least racked 500 at slots lv but took some bigger shots at 5 bucks and lost it.

But it's disheartening i can't seem to catch fire on some of these other rtg sites. I get moments where I might start hitting for 40 50 70 bucks but it always seems to fall flat. I bump my bet up and where on bovada it seems to actually escalate, it's how I've racked up a couple grand when I have done so ... But damn these other rtg sites feel truly like their next to impossible to have a great night unless I deposit 250 to 500 a session and start rolling at 5 to 6 bucks.

Just another quick nod, cashed out and they pulled the funds on Sunday and this morning they were in my bank account. Their visa fast funds is definitely solid if you want to ever go that route.

It is one of the better sites to carry some RTG games. They seem looser then everywhere else
