With online casino play, you don't really know if you are getting a fair game. So when you lose, you feel like you are getting f**ked. Which creates the anger.

With sports, you know you had a fair chance of winning. There wasn't a conspiracy against you. There wasn't a crooked piece of software stealing your money.

yes Jman...I think most let you win for a few weeks see your pattern watch you double down when you start losing....then one day you are doubling down and you hit nothing and lose it all....This happens it happened to me a few years ago...

After three losing sessions with Pinnacle, two of which seemed alarmingly lopsided, I also had them disable the casino. They had no problems doing it, noting only that is was a permanent ban, and I could not request later to have it turned on. Uhh, no problem.

BTW, my biggest losing streak was not online. It was 21 hands in a row at the Palace Station in Las Vegas. I had actually lost my $2000 buy in around hand 14, but I borrowed money from my friends and played $5 a hand just to see when the streak would end. A week later, I ran $150 into just over $15,000, so I guess anything can and will happen.

I had to call my book and have them disable my casino option as well...

'Just for fun' , could turn into a serious hit on my acct balance in no time...its too easy to click on those 100 dollar chips ... not worth it IMO

Win a few dollars betting games, lose it playing BJ. Problem is, you never know when to stop. I have honestly won 25 of 30 hands sometimes, but CANT walk away from my freakin comp. Next thing you know all the winnings are gone and I am digging into my original balance!!!!!!

Online casinos are definitely not for "degenerates" and unfortunately I can't control myself with blackjack because you play 200 hands in the matter of minutes, then think to yourself, shiit, I just went through $5,000 betting 25 bucks a hand. In the end, it seems more times than not u will walk away a loser.

Yes...they really will remove the online casino option...I wouldn't say i had a problem, but wanted to make sure i wasn't tempted, even playing for fun is risky IMO

Anyone that thinks online bj is fixed/rigged is jaded. It's just like bricks and mortar casinos. You will lose 8 or 9 out of ten times. If your willing to play for a small profit and a very short period of time then quite you can win 8 out of 10 times instead of the opposit. I personally win almost everytime at some point but I am there for entertainment value and play for hours and end up down 8 out of 10 times before I quit. Very few quit a winner it's very possible though.

we had a programmer come on here and admit the computer automatically removes certain cards from the deck in certain situations to stack the odds against the player.

EX you have 16 it removes most of the 5's and 4's or you have 11 it removes most of the 10's etc etc

you can find some honest games, sure.


but no doubt in mind over 80% are fixed.

The funny thing is , I won all 3 times...all very small amounts, like 40, 55 and 20 dollars...But, I could see where I would be doubling down as soon as i lost 4-5 hands...I don, t think I ever lost more than 3 hands...

For the most part I was playing, 3-4-5 dollars .....

I was playing at Wagerweb's lately and have done quite well there. On the other hand, in the past 2 months it is now official, ABC Islands has the worst and most unfair casino on the web..........

Jman, take up betting on another sport like soccer or the CFL to keep your mind off of the crack-like casinos.
