First time I went to Vegas I took $800. Wasn't even legally old enough to gamble (by a few months) but no one ever ID'd me. Playing only blackjack, I turned the $800 into $6400 in less than 24 hours.

Unfortunately, I then proceeded to turn the $6400 into $200 over the course of the next few days. Was attending Mizzou at the time and didn't even have a car. That $6400 would've bought a nice one back in those days. Expensive lesson learned, lol.

Willie - how does forfeiting a bonus on Bovada work? I have about $1300 + a $500 bonis in my account. I want to withdraw but it's locked to the 5x rollover casino bonus. I've just been sports betting and playing small stakes poker with it. If I forfeit the bonus, they will just take back the $500 in bonus funds + anything I've won with the bonus, correct? That will leave me my initial deposit, $ won sports betting and playing in the poker room?

Yes. You should be able to just email support, let them know you want to forfeit it. There is likely a small play thru requirement before you withdraw, but it is not difficult to meet and sounds like you likely already did enough play.

The thing is, and I fully admit it's my fault for depositing while shitfaced and not reading the fine print, the playthrough requirement is only in their online casino games. Blackjack, baccarat, slots ect, and excludes the live dealer feature. I don't believe it's possible to play $2500 (5x rollover on $500) thru the casino on their stipulations and make a profit. I've never had a session on the casino games end in profit outside of hitting and running the baccarat table.

If I could play poker or sports bet that would be a different story.

Usually no deposit bonuses can be played through profitably, they are all a scam.

Agreed.

That's why I'm wanting to forfeit it to unlock my regular funds.

I hear that betting on XFL games can make you rich. Especially the Over/Under.

You can WIN money in a casino? Wow....news to me.

I'm waiting for the reciprocal "How much money have you lost in casinos?" thread...

$300, in what seemed like a blink of an eye. Went to an Indian casino near Syracuse. Playing low stakes blackjack on a $10 minimum table. The dealer was a surly prick with zero personality, which didn't help at all. If I had an 18, he drew a 19. If I had a 19, he drew a 20. I doubled down with 10 against a six and the fucker drew 21. Worst run of luck I ever had. I think I only won one hand.

It was also on my birthday. Felt like Custer walking out of there. :-)

I believe the most I've won was $1800 on black jack. Ended up in the Henderson jail for the night.

Lost $100 to Hootie once.

The most I've ever won was about $200 on a slot machine. The funny thing is that it was a penny slot machine. I was just killing time after taking my parents to one of the mountain casinos. (I'm really not into casinos at all, so I went up and had some buffet meal and was waiting for them to spend everything.)

The most I've ever lost was about $20, because losing more than that would make me mad.

Now...powerball tickets...I've lost $10 on those a large number of times, and I've never won more than $4.

I went on a heater that I'll probably never experience again in my entire life a couple years back at the Ameristar when we were in town for a couple Royals games. I did all of this in a roughly 3 hour period.
