hit a bonus last night on a 20 cent spin and couldnt believe how bad the free spins were. it gave me 10 spins, no retrigger or anything to change the round. mostly just dead spins. there were a couple of small pays early on, 8 cents and 12 cents, with a bunch of zeroes in between and after. the last spin hit a small line for 14 cents. total was 34 cents from all 10 spins, so not even 2x the bet. i know bonuses can brick, but this one came off almost like the feature wasnt doing anything. it paid less than two normal hits. is it common for a free spins round to return under 2x, or was that a particularly bad one? i kept thinking there had to be one decent hit in there somewhere, but no. thanks
what live tables tho
depends a lot on the mood for me, but i always find myself thinking about risk management first. with a full table, you get way fewer hands per hour but get to pick up more info from how people play, plus the pots are bigger and there’s more margin for error. on the other hand, sitting down at an empty table or with just one or two people, everything moves way faster, but you’ve got to keep sharp since the blinds come around quick and things get swingy. does anyone here prefer the speed and heads-up aspect over the slower, info-rich grind of a full table? curious how you weigh the tradeoff, especially if you’re into steady profit rather than just chasing the action.
lol "pocket lint" is too real
nah, the “safe” bit is the problem lol. by kick-off the line movement has usually squeezed the boring value clean out, so your 5-leg acca is basically a prettier scratchcard. seen the same thing in sportsbook reviews for years tbh 😶
noticed something weird last night - was playing blackjack live dealer, decent table, and had a hand where the dealer busted, easy win. later i went to check the replay for something else, but that hand wasn’t there. like just totally skipped in the session history. every other hand showed up, just not the one where the dealer broke and paid out. i keep all my notes and screenshots, so i know it happened. anyone else ever see missing hands like this in the replays? is it a bug or just sometimes takes a while to update? hard to trust the session record if it’s not steady - what do you do if you notice stuff like that?
so i was sweating an nba game last night and i realized i’m not 100% clear on how pushes work with asian spreads, especially with basketball lines that aren’t whole numbers. i get it with the usual half points - obviously those can’t push - but with something like asian handicap -1.0/-1.5, does half your bet get refunded if it hits one and the other half loses? feels like a split outcome but i haven’t really checked the slip after one of these yet, i’m usually all-in or off the market. anyone see their slip refund part of the stake before? trying to tighten up my risk side before mlb season starts.
20-30 hands is already too generous lol, if the meter's dead after like 8 i'm out. "tracking logic" is just promo weasel-speak 🙄
