Trout Blogs
Wild Bill, professional poker player and author of The Grind just released a site meant to capture all 2+2 blogs. I happened to bump into the site yesterday, very shortly after its release and was surprised to see my blog listed there. At the time there were about 30 blogs listed and it has already grown to over 70 in just a day. Blogs can be added very easily on the site if yours is not listed yet. Check it out at www.troutblogs.com
I pulled a big chunk of change out of Poker Stars with the intention of cashing some out but before I got around to that, I got hit with the urge to chase down another deposit bonus. I decided on Golden Riviera, based on all of the 2+2 and Bonus Whore posts complaining about how tough it was to cash out and what an overall pain that site was. I am a sucker for punishment, so thought it may be a fun one. I am not quite as aggressive at bonus chasing as many people, so I hope to have a nice smooth experience with them. It is only a $50 bonus and only requires 250 raked hands to clear, so it should be nice and quick anyway. After BetFred I am not up to dealing with a large bonus.
At the same time I figured I would hit up another prima site and decided on Bet365 so as to finally take advantage of a rakeback deal as well. I was informed by the affiliate I was going to sign up through that as of last week there is no more rakeback deal for Bet365. Kind of hilarious timing seeing as though the only other time I tried to sign up for rakeback was with Empire the very day Party bought them back and cancelled all affiliate deals. Customer support at Rakemeback.com was very apologetic, much moreso than they needed to be as this is completely out of their control. I may sign up there anyway to clear the $100 initial deposit bonus but we'll see.
Then, basically at the same time, I got hit with the urge to try out a casino deal. For quite a while I have been reading posts on 2+2 in the internet bonuses forum about people making a killing on casino sign up deals, so I figured I would give it a try. I signed up at Starluck Casino and deposited $100 and was credited immediately with a matching $100 bonus. I have to wager $1,600 before any of the deposit can be withdrawn. I don't know if it was a bad night there or what but it took me several tries to register and the software went all wonky on me at least twice. My first impression was not great. I stuck to blackjack and went up $40 or so before slowing drawing back to even. I'm not sure how much I have left to wager, but I can already see how these casino deals can be some pretty quick money as the wagering requirements clear quite quickly. I don't anticipate doing many of these as I much prefer playing poker but I will probably try out a couple and see how they work out. It wasn't long ago that I swore I would never try out a casino but at one point I wasn't going to play at more than one poker site as chasing bonuses just seemed like more trouble than it is worth too. Give me another month or two and I'll be going busto on online roulette or something equally stupid.
