I decided to drop from Live Casino Hero so you guys can get more money

JK, of course, I dropped out because it was getting to the point that I felt obligation to squeeze enough casino time to fulfill requirements and then wagering way too much on single roulette spins when lacking time. Worked good on some days terrible on others. I even think I was left with some profit in the end so not bad.

Did not even know there is Cricket blackjack. Damn they are hot for cricket on our favorite bookie. Too bad I can't relate.

Yeah and not to mention that the overall prize is only 1 btc so even if we are left with around 40 players in the end, that will be 0.025 btc each and this contest will be running for approximately for 4 months so that gives around 0.0002 btc everyday for average 30 minutes daily of playing live game with 0.1 mbtc stake per round ( faster with higher stake )

I intended to play a little bit longer in this contest and see how it goes. Probably will stop at some point if Im bored with it, so far so good and I had some good time chatting with some pretty dealer lol

[buwaytress]

How about switching to 0.2 mbtc base bet instead and ditch all the side bet? That would be 25 times and probably around 20-25 minutes of playing. So far I have been using this strat for over a week and Im pretty much break even so far or probably on a slim profit. The variance is getting higher the longer we play so yeah 0.2 mbtc seems to be a proper bet so far atleast me

I would have gone for 0.5 mbtc base bet if I had alot more balance lol

Yeah, that would mean taking 25 hands only, but probably still too short for too big. I'm thinking of sticking to my standard 0.1 but aim to also complete half of the wager on roulette, I figure 0.05 mbtc on black/red each takes care of half the time while waiting for blackjack hands to settle. Since it's just wagering anyway, no need to think, easier to multitask.

If I keep the way I have been, I'm going to lose a lot of money and time, just need to discipline myself -- like Trofo said though, those days when you simply don't have time you're tempted to blast one big fat 5 mbtc wager and that's a lot of money to just lose in one hand.

It is interesting to read about all of this discussion on live casino promo,,, Trofo you dropped out quickly but at least you got the first step reward:)

For me I have been using roulette 100% for all my wagering on Live Casino and it is taking even less then 15 minutes of my time. Longer if I want to catch losses but so far, most of my days are break even or even just a tiny bit loss because I always play to catch loss.

After the reward yesterday won 1.5 so I am now back in profit and that amount can last me at least 5 bad days but if going at the rate, probably more like 20 days.

No I did not, I dropped out a day before first reward But I would have lost it anyway since free spins never work out for me.

As I said my only problem with the promo was that feeling that I have to do it every day and I had really crazy week. Than I played 5 mBTC on red or black while walking to the toilet to take the leak, 2 days in a row. Won one, lost one so break even but that is not something I wanted to do more often. I tried playing on both red/black once and got 3 zeros in 10 runs so that was out of question for me.

My local bookie has similar promos but they give you 2 jokers per months, meaning you can miss 2 days and still be in the running for the prize. Good thing Sportsbet is giving us so many different promos so there is something for everybody.

That would be way easier because there is an autobet feature on roulette. My highest loss so far from playing with 0.2 mbtc stake is 1.8 mbtc after playing 25 times. One day before that, I won around 1.6 mbtc so everything is pretty much around break even for me. Well best of luck to you mate, keep wagering those 5 mbtc

those days when you simply don't have time you're tempted to blast one big fat 5 mbtc wager and that's a lot of money to just lose in one hand.

Yeah, I used to do that as well. For the first few days of this contest, I wager 2.5 mbtc each on red and black on roulette because I feel its kinda wasting my time to play 50 rounds of blackjack of 0.1 mbtc stake but yeah ever since I increased the stake, its way fast enough to suit my schedule

Yeah I think I more or less broke even until the last couple of days, when I lost more than I should have on BJ. But yeah, I'm going to try and keep half of my bets on roulette (25 spins maybe at 0.1 mbtc to make 2.5mtbc) and the rest on 25 hands of BJ. Maybe reduce it even more, but like today I started roulette with a big bet and hit 0 haha.

The problem for me is weekends like today, and particular days when I can't be online or at least, not on a casino;)
 
GL to all of you! 96 of us left now and the leaderboard won't update til Monday. Hope we see 80 people by then hahaha!

[ralle14]

Only 2 weeks in the promo and the prize is already more than BTC.01 at this rate I think we might break the previous prize distribution that reached around BTC.02 ,after the weekend i'm expecting the participants to hit 90 at the minimum.

Also here's the daily specials lined up for today. The fantasy special seems tempting but i'll have to preserve my bankroll for now.

Guys, I need advice ... with Usyk's victory over Joshua today, I was one step away from a major victory, and I have high hopes for Tottenham. I am seriously thinking about what would be insured, but I can not decide how best to do this so that in any case, stay with Bitcoins.

With only Tottenham to win the best way to hedge both parlay is to take Arsenal +0.5 or Arsenal/Draw (double chance) and it'll cut a portion of your profits since Arsenal is the slight favs in this matchup.

In the first parlay the expected payout is around $770~ and the odds on Arsenal/Draw is at 1.33 so the optimal bet size would be around $560(BTC.013~). In this scenario you'll walk away with a $150(BTC.0035) profit no matter what happens.

In the second parlay the expected payout is around $3600 and with the given odds the optimal bet size is around $2750(BTC.065~). Your expected profit in this parlay is around $800(BTC.019) basically you have to bet a lot on the other side.

That is prudent advice and probably something that should be done, but it is not something I would do. I would place bet on the mentioned choice on some much smaller amount, maybe something that would just double my initial stakes. Then I would hope for Spurs to score first and used that opportunity to hedge more by placing a bigger bet on 1x.

That being said I would have never put Spurs victory on those tickets. I am expecting Arsenal to win today.

Also, don't you have option to cash out those tickets? If you do, why not cashing out one of them and leting the other ride. Choose which one based on amount of belief you have in Spurs. I would cash out both since I consider them shit, but I also expected Chelsea to win yesterday.

[rdbase]

^^
He doesn't have the option available to cashout or it would of showed in green at the bottom of each betslip.
But just as alle14 had explained he does get some of the winnings back but in a form of a freebet regardless of how the final selection on his betslip goes.
It difficult to see if the second one was insured because both the top and bottom of the slip is not seen.

I have tottenham on my betslip to win and in the EPL challenge for the week.
So... Let's go Spurs!

[buwaytress]

First of all, icopress, bloody well done. So proud of you haha.

Second, I'm with Trofo, I'd be doing a cashout option for one of them -- it should be appearing now before Spurs' game, not sure why it isn't appearing for you but I know on Sportsbet it does switch off when one of the legs are close, but it has even appeared for me in live, so I'd keep an eye out.

A hedge should be to get some profit, but not to actually lose out on big winnings (otherwise why would you have gone for it right?). My hedges are to get back my stake plus good winnings, but never to harm the big winnings I tried so hard to get.

So in this case, I'd actually not do anything other than a small double chance on Arsenal. And if Spurs score first, again a live bet on Arsenal handicap.

Whatever happens, I hope Spurs win for you

[Trofo]

@icopress
What did you do in the end? Don't leave us hanging. Spurs let you down big time but I hope you managed to save some profits with nice hedge bet. I am really curious why you did not have option to cash out. Could it be because of that Joshua-Usyk match? I never bet on fighting sports so I am not sure how it works with them. I know for sure that I have cash out option on all my usual sports (football, tennis) but not on eSports. If I add one eSport match to the ticket that means no cashout. Maybe that happened to you as well.

Probably that match was in play last night when he screenshot those slips so the cashout option was disabled but I think that it would have re appear after the match is settled.

@icopress : too bad you didnt hit this one though, it would have been massive if Tottenham ended up winning that match


Live casino hero update :

Leaderboard was updated on 24th

98 players left and currently it is around 0.01 btc for the final prize

Oh sorry,,, I misread your post then:) Yeah usually free spins do not work with me either and this was probably the first time in my life I ever played Baccarat,,, and nice to win back over 1 mbtc from it so it helps to even out losses so far.

I think this promo is very hard to do also especially if you use internet from work like me, but luckily my shifts end in between days on casino time so I can play my off days anyway but still I would like this Joker option or holiday option. I even had to play on my holiday and it was very hard.

The total participants for the live casino hero is now down to 84 prize is bumped to BTC.0119 I can't believe it's still going down by a decent chunk. We're not even finished with the first month and we're close to breaking the previous record.

Also i'm tossing a small play on this special, I know it's unlikely for this one to hit but after what i've seen during the weekend I might as well take my chances here.

Wow icopress I just saw your posts. I really really hope you managed to put up a hedge as you said you would. I think Arsenal were expected to win, but not by the big margin. Harry Kane couldn't have chosen a worst time to be in his worse form of his entire EPL life. He's fit but not able to score, and he had chances too!

Thats 14 players shorter in the last 3 days, I guess some more people decided that it is not worth it after all. The last one had 44 players remained until the end of the contest so somehow I guess it will be around 30-40 players until 31st December. Anyway have you received the prize for the 15 days mark yet? I havent receive mine, just asking to be sure about this because Im kinda feeling anxious that I might have skipped a day lol

That's actually super, super surprising, given how long it took for the total to come down last year. 1 a day was actually pretty good then, but yeah, we're only about 3 weeks in and nice to see the total still far bigger than expected loss.

How're the rest of you doing in terms of bankroll loss/profit? I'm not yet in the black, but inching my way every day with a few roulette spins to end my Blackjack sessions.

I'm checking countless times throughout the day to see the date and my wagered amount! One missed day and it's gone. Last comp was 100 days, so we're at Day 21 of 120+ days. Long way to go my friend.,

What special bet was this? Its not showing on my screen

Means it's already expired. Betslips from SB are a little tough like that, if the market's gone even on 1 leg of an acca, you can't see what the bet was.
