bonus hunt cursed

Started a bonus hunt last night thinking I’d try for something stable, took it nice and slow, kept the bets flat. Had a decent bankroll and avoided tilting, but holy hell it was dead spins for hours. Scored a few bonuses but they paid worse than base game spins. Feels like every time I try to keep discipline and not chase, I get punished even harder.

Does anyone actually turn a profit on these or is it pure masochism? Every streamer makes it look fun but real life just grinds you down. I usually stick to blackjack or sports betting for that reason, at least there you can lean on stats and feel somewhat in control. Bonus hunts feel cursed lately. Anyone else?
