well Dom its not actually a “shift” because what should have happened is you should be making money from all directions you headed, not have it shift to coming in from a different direction.
if you get my drift. but that also proves your point. and explains the attitude I’ve decided to take – which is that I’m cutting my losses now as opposed to cutting them later when they’re bigger.
sometimes you just gotta bite the freaking bullet. *but I ain’t gonna do it quietly nor allow it to go away quickly.

You of all people … I’m surprised.
think about it a second. most of those numbers in the 75% are bonus chasers and window shoppers. by the time the sponsor gets thru “taxing” you on the bonus situation, you really don’t stand to make a lot on that first deposit anyway …. when compared to what you make off a regular-playing player in that 25% number
the only people IMHO that stand to really lose on the first deposit thing, (although I’m against it cause it just ain’t right) are those that target that nasty four letter word …. yep, you guessed it. “free”!
IMHO you get what you ask for on the net. If you ask for someone seeking something free. that’s what you’re gonna get. And then you have your surfers who are willing to pay something to get something for free; which is where there is room for profit to be made. But seriously, you gotta do some very serious numbers to play that game.
at almost every program I’ve got literally 100s of accounts which are awol / mia to every one good player’s account. And I DON’T target anything “free”. Ever.
heck I remember one of the first things the Prof told me… way back when … was that I’d likely make the majority of my income off of 4 or 5 players.
he was once again…. right. I’m sure there are exceptions, but I stand by my statement at least in my case, and I say it from the point of knowing its true.
that said; is that what your stats tell you? that you make 75% of your income off people that only deposit once? (*if you don’t mind my asking)
