Thought I would share my huge mistake that I made today. I played at one of the MG casinos last night, cleared my bonus requirements and got up to over $600. Played a bit this morning, down to $500 and thought, okay, I'm not going to play any more back! I will cash out when I come back home later today.
So I logged in early this evening to cashout and thought I would check to see if there were any free tourneys I could play at while I had the casno open. I saw there was a free blackjack one and have never played one of those before... mainly just play the Grand Slam ones, but sometimes one of the Avalon or Tomb Raider ones if I happen to be on line when they are on.
Since I had never played a blackjack one, I didn't know what was "normal" with them... didn't see a timer or anything. Anyways, I played away, thinking that blackjack sucks and I can never win at them... and this is why I never play it in real. I lost my chips pretty fast betting $85 or something a hand, not expecting to win... never win free tourneys!
I exited the tourney, only to see my cash balance was almost zero... holy crap... I just played away my $500 in no time flat!! You might imagine how sick I felt... I didn't even have fun! If I was blowing some $$ on video poker or slots, at least it would have been entertaining. I never find blackjack that entertaining.
So, lesson to you all who may not be aware of this... beware of "free tourneys"!!
I am hoping the casino will have mercy on me, but ultimately know it was my mistake. I am hoping, since I never play blackjack with cash that they will at least believe me. Okay... I am going to go some more now.
