May as well let it sit on a site where it can earn you money. I may do this. I'll have to keep my eye on currency trading now. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: whackadoo at February 11, 2005, 10:34 pm | | Topic: Total Bet Forum: Bonus Whores | | Hell I deposited 200 pounds (came out to 392 dollars-1.96 USD per pound) then I decided not to play there. So I cashed out and got 398 dollars back. So I made 6 bucks just letting it sit. | | Static Link |

So if I played in a 1/2 USD game for an hour I would still clear 5 GPBs? Just asking because william hill pays bonuses out in either dollars or GPBs since you can sign up as the dolllar or the GPB being your primary currency. Since totalbet and UKbetting only operate on the GBP I was ondering what their policy is? | | Static Link |

I didn't think it was that hard to understand actually. You wanna cash out on a day the USD is worth LESS when exhanging to GBP.
Today: 1 USD = 0.54 GBP
Cashout: 1USD = 0.50 GBP (gained ~8c/$)

| Posted by: zm_dawg at February 10, 2005, 2:13 pm | | Topic: Total Bet Forum: Bonus Whores | | I definately think so....I think it made it harder cause before after work I glanced at TB and thought I only saw 1/2 pound tables. So was thinking I needed to fund the account for roughly 400 so I'd have 50 per 4 tables in pounds. But if they convert for every table I don't think I ever had a question. Now do you want to cash out on a day the dollar = more pounds? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: SmackMBUp at February 10, 2005, 2:10 pm | | Topic: Total Bet Forum: Bonus Whores | You decided to put in roughly 100GBP (~$200); but won't need that much. 70-80 GBP should absolutely do. For clarification: You get less Pounds for the same amount of USD. OK? The second thing is that you can play at all currencies with your cash balance in GBP. It's just the conversion that is being done each time you sit at a table. Example: Balance: 100 GBP Buy in at 1/2 USD --> 200 chips 1/2 EUR --> 150 chips 1/2 GBP --> 100 chips Once cashing chips back into your account, the amount is exchanged back to the account currency (here GBP). You'll get the hang of it immediately-

| Posted by: zm_dawg at February 10, 2005, 2:01 pm | | Topic: Total Bet Forum: Bonus Whores | | so if i was wanting to put $200 USD in....should I be putting in more or less GBP. I'm lost as to how they are doin the conversion and what not. I just want to know how much in dollars I have in the site. I' assume 1/2pounds is played same as $1/$2 but isn't it almost $2/$4? or am I doing this all backwards.......do an example for my dumbass I'm tired as shit.. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: SmackMBUp at February 10, 2005, 1:48 pm | | Topic: Total Bet Forum: Bonus Whores | I don't quite understand your first question, but can answer the second. The currency conversion will be displayed before the transaction is made using the Crypto exchange rate, no idea where they get that from. When you put in 50 GBP, you'll be charged the euivalent amount in USD. As far as withdrawals are concerned, I'd leave the money in there as long as possible and let it ride. For one the USD is gaining a bit lately, but it won't last. Therefore your money will gain value in time, on the other hand Neteller charges a conversion fee of 1,9 or 2,9% (look in their FAQ); which is random bullcrap they tend to do.

The exchange rate right now is like 1Dollar=.54 pounds. Would I have to be an idiot to deposit my money into here and do this. How does this currency conversion work as far as deposit/withdrawals? | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Spartacus at December 6, 2004, 11:06 pm | | Topic: Total Bet Forum: Bonus Whores | Pounds. All transaction are in pounds. It takes a little getting used to. I usually deposit $160 to 4 table on the other skins, so I deposit 80 pounds which is about the same~$150.
They screw you though. It cost 1 pound to cashout and Neteller charges you 2.9% to convert back to dollars. I have not found a way around that, though not for a lack of trying!
PS Don't forget the risk free casino money, 25 pounds every month! | | Static Link |
| Posted by: TheJourneyman at December 6, 2004, 11:00 pm | | Topic: Total Bet Forum: Bonus Whores | I just opened an account at total bet and went to deposit but it list everything in pounds - will my deposit be converted into pounds or will it go through as US $$$??
