Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

The main point is to .... never play unless you have a positive expected win. I used to download a lot of online casinos -- there are plenty -- play there once for the initial signup bonus and never enter the place again. I can't be bothered with the downloading and registration these days so I just play in five places which offer monthly match bonuses. But if I really wanted to I could make more.
As for getting a positive expectation from an offer, most of my strategies involve betting aggressively in the beginning, either going bust immediately or reaching some high amount. Usually I go bust but when I win, I win big, and in the long run it's an excellent strategy. If you know probability math, you may be able to work you why. If you can't work out the math, you should probably stay clear of bonus hunting.
Also, the "trade" involves some mathematical insight and knowledge of the games as well as gathering intelligence in order to avoid the dodgier places.
