I distrust the on-line casinos, so I am not going to try another, but I am
ahead of expectation. I have put in over $10,000 of action in $1 and $2
bets. I pulled out the $50 I put in, so that is starting with the $70 bonus
they game me.
Maybe one of the statisticians in the group can tell me how to calculate the
odds as a function of how long it takes to lose it all.
