I have been gambling for over 30 years and have never bet using an online casino. If fact I have come in here telling people they are crazy for betting anything other then sports online. Well curiosity got the best of me last evening. I have had an incredible season betting college football and also some success in the NFL as well. I moved about $100 into Pinnacle's casino and started messing around with the slot machines. After losing that rather quickly I transferred more money over with the same results. This continued for about an hour. All said I lost about $950. I am still pissed at myself this morning and can't seem to let it go. It is not a money issue as losing $900 is nothing to me. It is eating away at me. I am convinced these things are truly fixed and I just feel like I got ripped off and never had a chance of winning. Had to vent a little. Well off to work now, see you all tonight in the college football forum.
had friend bet on pinnacle casino.he played craps he was up 179000 during middle of week at the end he lost 10000 for week.he could have stopped.
i have friend that plays double bonus $5 or 10=25 or 50 hand he hit 3 royals last month 4 aces 8000 4 aces twice 4000 each up 100000 year
hard to walk away winner he had lost 35000 straight also but was up so it didnt hurt him as much then he got lucky.
my feeling is you should go in and out of casino because if it is fixed the programs give you plenty of chances to win.i beleive they should be played like a slot machine,not video(take for the house on a percentage)
If it is rigged,it is the company they lease software from like other sportsbooks that lease from same company.The sportsbooks want it to be fair,with their expected take.It is to the softwares advantage to rig the casino.If books make more then they are told by the leasing company,the book wont look elsewhere for a new casino leasing company.That is what i think.beenaround

3 years ago I started with sportsinteraction.com just sports betting. I dabbled in blackjack and was up a little over a grand in a few days. (I am no means a high roller, this was all done with very small bets) Between that and sports betting I was doing pretty well until one Sunday morning I ended up losing close to 2,000. It made me literally sick to my stomach thinking about it. I swore to never enter another online casino again. I have not lived up to that but I have managed to put very little amounts in. I think they have it set up to let you win at first knowing that greed will lose your money in the long run. As gamblers we need to wipe greed out of our vocabulary. Greed will kill us.
I tried earning some casino bonuses last summer that appeared to be marginally beatable, and either I was the unluckiest gambler ever in that venture or the games weren't entirely on the up-and-up. At one casino I won 9 out of 32 hands of blackjack, with no blackjacks and no winning doubles, switched to craps, and proceeded to lose 9 out of 10 "don't pass" bets. Even ignoring the lack of blackjacks and doubles, the odds of that happening are about 1 in 800, and factoring in the lack of blackjacks and winning doubles makes it even rarer.
At another one, I ended up with a 20, 19, and 19 (two of which were doubled hands) against a dealer 5 and the internet connection dropped before the dealer's cards were shown. (Strangely enough I was also betting sports on that site at the same time without any internet glitches.) I contacted support and they told me "Sir, the outcome of the hand was that the dealer had a ten and a five, and got a six for twenty-one."
On the one hand I think I "should have known better," but both of these incidents occured at well-regarded sportsbooks, both of whom have had representatives post here in the past. Fortunately I only lost a small percentage of my bankroll before I realized it was futile to hunt these bonuses.

worse addiction to have cause from the start there is no chance to walk away up.... when i started online books back in 99 this was a no no. i would win like 597.00 on sportsbook and go into the casino for blackjack to try to get a nice even 600.00...well we know what happened from there. Sportsbook Balance = 0.00 30mins later. Literally banging my head.
before playing casinos online educate yourself about the best games and places to play. Most slots pay off at about 94%. At that rate is doesn't take long to deplete your bankroll. Playing a game like blackjack or video poker (properly) should allow your money to last 12 times longer than slots.
Years back I took a bunch of the bonus whore money I made and proceeded to blow over 2 dimes playing blackjack. This had always haunted me. Earlier this year like an idiot I went back and tried low limit blackjack playing perfect strategy. I managed in six months time to make over $2300. I have now pulled the plug and WILL NEVER GO BACK.
