    am i the only one who avoids online casinos at all costs

    everyday it seems i hear stories about someones brains being left behind at the sbr casino or another online books casino. never got into this crap, occasionally played blackjack if i had like 10 or 20 bucks left at a book but thats it.

    Messed around with online blackjack when I first started, and vowed to never do it again.....and never have.

    Sure at a live table, the table will burn your 20's and 21's when he flops a 21 off a bust card....but when it happens seemingly 80% of the time, that was well enough for me.

    sometimes i think a live dealer in a brick & mortar casino is cheating... So why would i trust an online one ?

    It's fun.

    Takes care of tilting urge. Can lose it all fast. Worth the rush.

    pai gow poker is a great game since your money will last a lot longer with all the pushes. the 5% house takes on winning hands is the only way they get their edge.

    I still prefer playing in a real casino BUT you can't beat the convenience of playing on your laptop. Being a gamblin' "flea" I also prefer the $1 minimum bets and escalating my bets from there. I can't find anything below a $3 minimum in Vegas.

    Play a little in the pinnacle casino when I'm out of the US. I'll play $5 BJ for 20 minutes or less. Never win of course.

    occasionally I mess around here at SBR Casino. As far as with real money I've learned my lesson I stay away.

    I've played a few times at the Bodog casino just to try it, and of course in the SBR casino a little....but I'd never bet serious money. Sports betting is where it's at for me, can't call the software rigged when you lose.

    the key to online blackjack is quick runs. i'm talking approx 3-8 hands. pretty sure they will often put you on a small run at first to lure you in.

    playing less than $5 is so depressing. I think it's fair to say you shouldn't even be gambling if you can not afford $5 a hand.i goto a casino in des plaines,IL and on a friday,saturday night the minimum at blackjack is $50/hand. sucks casino's can't provide the space and tables to accomodate $10/$25 players at all times.
