I had a couple $10K swings playing online blackjack when it first came out, it seemed so
much like funny money.
One of the first places I played at online was Prestige Casino (webdollar). I managed to
turn a $1000 deposit into $11K. Somehow it didn't seem real, and there was some skepticism
in my mind that they'd ever pay me, so I kept betting crazy, even though I had fulfilled all
the wagering requirements for the sign on bonus. Well, I lost it all.
Maybe a month later, I read about Unified Gaming software that some places were using that
actually had a +EV BJ game with early surrender. I deposited $1K at a place called
Island Casino for a $100 bonus, and unbelievably built it up to $40K over a week. Again,
it seemed like funny money, but I was smart enough after the balance dropped to $30K to
try and cash out. They delayed the cash-out, saying they wanted to analyze my logs and
make sure I wasn't using a software robot. They eventually paid me in full.
That was over 15 years ago. Before Neteller shut down, I know I had some $2K-$5K swings
mostly on the plus side, because I was playing probably 20+ deals a day between blackjack,
video poker and sports betting (arbs).
Since Neteller shut down, I've had a couple +$2K days playing live poker, and a couple -$1K days
playing live poker...
