Whacking the Free Money Offers

From Billion Dollar Blackjack
by Rob McGarvey

One of the best ways to get started playing online blackjack is with a free money offer. There is no risk involved, and it can be a great way to test the online casino. Normally you would accept the free money, then deposit and get the sign up bonus and play with the deposit and both bonuses. There are other ways of playing this free money to your maximum benefit.

This $15 offer is a little better than the usual $10 free. You are required to play it 8 times to take it out, which is equal to $120 in hands. From my experience, playing with this $15 by making the minimum 60 $2 bets will normally wipe out the $15 bonus. This is simply from the swings in the game of blackjack. Win one lose two, a bad double or split and it is gone.

I suggest a different approach. Bet $14 with the first hand. You can't bet $15 because the software goes up in $2 units. This will double your bonus or wipe you out. There is no risk to you, and the possible reward of doubling your free money. Then you can finish the required action off, or go for the deposit bonus. I recently hand a $20 free offer sent to me and that is how I played it. Bet $20 and won. Then I bet the $40 and won that too. I had put in a good majority of the required action, and then finished it off with a batch of $2 bets. They sent me a $75 check the next week.

If you think about it, you will win at close to half the places that offer free money, and get a good amount of action in from the start, instead of fool around with the few dollars they offer you and lose it all.

This offer is only available till the 30th of June 2003. The free money will show up one business day (Monday - Friday) after you have signed up. This is there way of hoping you can't wait to play and will deposit. Just hang in there and wait a day to get a free shot at some cash. After you are done with that offer, you can take a shot at the 20% $200 match bonus on your first purchase with them. Action required is 5 x bonus and deposit, ($1200 x 5 = $6000). So, if you've been thinking of playing online, now is your time to give this free money offer a shot.
