Another bonus experience

[LeonShuffle]

This time cashable. I found out about NineCasino.com offering a 100% match up to $200. But there are two drawbacks: One is that it's what's called an "action bonus" meaning you have to hit the wagering requirement BEFORE they add the $200. And the other is that the WR is 20DB ($8,000) which is twice as high as Casino on Net and Bet 365 for the same bonus. But they offer Surrender.

So here I go, ready to make 4,000 $2 bets over about a week. For a long time, it was going quite well. I was never down more than $60 or up more than $40 for a long time. I was more than $6,000 into it and down about $40 when it took a VERY bad turn. I started losing hand after hand after hand. I dropped below $100 but kept betting $2 so it wouldn't take twice as long. Then I got below $50 and figured it was time to drop to $1 bets. So there I was with $500 to go, betting $1 at a time and my bankroll's in single digits. I tapped out completely with $431 to go. Now I need to make another deposit just to reach the WR and basically get my $200 back.
