Ahhh okies, thanks
I used that strategy once, but with BLackjack. It was back when you could make good money with the sign up bonuses, and it was my first go at it.
It's stupid, doesn't work and will just lose your money quicker than flat betting.
pfft, i had a streak of 14 blacks on ladbrokes whilst trying to wager bonus money, the laws of probability dont come into it when playing online
I don't even know if I'm addicted, I'm not wasting money which I need for bills - it's just disposable income and I can happily walk past a bookies/casino without feeling the urge. It's just when I am actually there I just turn into someone I'm not.
/rant over?

There was a precedent for that in the Irish lottery, a syndicate waited for the jackpot to be big enough and then bought tickets like mad. They didn't buy all the combination but they bought enough and they won and came out in profit.
I think at the time the Irish lottery had less balls so the odds were higher than the 14million to 1 that ours is.
Basic rules I always enforce with myself when gambling;
- Be prepared to lose the amount you deposit
- If you win a bet, take out what you originally put in and play with what you have made, that way if you lose the lot you're not really down at all
- Don't chase your losses, it's only a downward spiral
Lost over £12k in one night playing a mixture of roulette and blackjack. Good times.
wasnt that 3 card brag?
The way I see it the best way to win is not to get involved at all
Good on you, champ.
You make some good points I guess, I still can't see a feasible scenario for it unless you have some major capital in the first place (and yes it was a rubbish analogy )
Do those +ve odds account for the possibility of someone else also winning the jackpot however?
