As a professional gambler and poker player then I know all too well just how important external financial input is to your welfare. In online poker then we are essentially talking about rakeback and sign up bonuses here. However in slots then we are talking bonuses as well. If a particular online casino offers certain promotions then you need to watch out for and take advantage of these.
You need to do this for several reasons, firstly it massively lowers the house edge against you. Taking an analogy with sports betting here is great for highlighting what I have to say. Professional sports bettors make money by being very selective. What this actually means is that you can in fact be successful at something even if in playing it too much you then became –EV. Let us say that there were 100 possible bets and 90 of those bets meant that you lost $1 and the other 10 bets meant that you won $1. Clearly if you had a bet in every single situation then you would lose $80 over 100 bets at a rate of $0.80 per bet and be massively –EV.
However what if you could identify the ten positive situations…….you then make $10 over 100 bets because you don’t bet when it is negative. Card counting works in this way but if you are disciplined enough to wait for your opportunities then you can actually do very well playing online slots. These opportunities mean waiting for promotions and bonuses that could take you into neutral EV or even positive EV territory.
