I few quit early on the one's who stuck it out have been very successful. You are a sharp guy so i'm sure you were playing correct strategy, but stopping once you've met the rollover is one of the few important aspects of this. Unfortunately, your list from five years ago is going to be severely outdated. Just about every casino out there has changed its rules and disallowed blackjack and other good games. I only play it rarely now as i have focused my resources on sports, which i find to be far less time consuming and far more enjoyable.
Kingbill: Your statement that the casino always wins is so naive i don't know where to start. You have been watching the Travel channel too much, where they tell you that getting 'comps' is your best way to gain some sort of advantage.

The number one thing that makes me money is discipline. Give your self a number of what you want to make, 3x to 4x my deposit is what I shoot for. I play BJ, Roulette, video poker and Carib Stud. I always seem to win early and lose late so once I hit the target number I take a payout. The times where I have the most trouble is when I hit the target early say after 5-10 hands but I'm there to make money not play cards.
Yesterday I put $100 into Omni and got their $100 risk free bonus. After wagering only $335, or 13% of my WR, I had lost $98, and that was by mainly playing $3 a hand, and never going over $5.sean1 said:WE can pose the question differently - who here thinks the online casino software is fair and randomized?

you should put 100 on first hand and if win, grind out the roll.guitarjosh said:Yesterday I put $100 into Omni and got their $100 risk free bonus. After wagering only $335, or 13% of my WR, I had lost $98, and that was by mainly playing $3 a hand, and never going over $5.
