Has anyone won money at online casinos?

**DaColts** · 03-11-11, 11:33 PM

I have but the next day I always give it back online. But never in the real casino

Online blackjack is pretty much the same as at brick and mortar casinos. If anything the online places have better odds. There's so many different internet casinos that they have to be highly competitive with each other and therefore have an incentive to offer more player-friendly rules. Where I live there's only three real casinos in the area (not including the card rooms downtown with the dumb "No Bust California 21" games or whatever) and they're all pretty far apart from each other so they're able get away with rules that have a larger house edge.

The reason why you always hear these stories about the dealer getting lucky breaks is because you see a lot more hands online than you do in person sitting at a table with other people. Blackjack has a house edge and you can't beat the math in the long-run, but when you take all the comps and everything into consideration then it's possible to come out ahead playing perfect strategy against good rules. Unfortunately that's not the case online.

I won 10k one time. Since then a few hundred here and there. Play on sites with the same software as SBR (bookmaker, DSI, justbet etc). Occasionally you will go on a heater. Ive found sites like Bodog to be tough because it seems like the result can be altered if you adjust your bet amount.

Plus youll want to get comp for playing. Bookmaker Bet Points will basically double/triple any comp Bodog will issue you. I had 300,000 in handle, and broke even last week and I only earned 155 dollars comp on Bodog. I looked to see what I would of earned on Bookmaker and it came out around 600 dollars.

As a frequent player on a lot of online casinos, I would say they are all rigged. Eventually you will get overrun in any game, so if you can make a few dollars, take it and run.

think you always need to have a big bank roll.

so you can take some of the real bad runs.

online casino seem very streaky, not sure why, but ive also gone on some huge unbelievable runs that have gone my way.

I won once, I took a free 30$ free play from William Hill, played BJ only and I cashed out 300$ (which was the maximum I could cash out). Im ahead cause I never deposit in online casinos.

You can win an online casino, but this is not for a long term winnings. Because it is on your hand if you will continue playing after winning a price. If you prefer to play casino for just having fun, well i must say online casino is best for you, easy and not that hassle to play.

I won a progressive in a microgamoing casino for about 12k once, I was 8k down in 5 years prior to that. I lost 5k in a month after that so I am down obviously, but I withdrew the rest at least. I am not making any more casino deposits. Well I am kind of a degen so maybe I do lol. But at least I partied and I bought a new laptop!

**vill** · 03-19-11, 02:11 AM

One day you can won, or few days, but after that you will lost much more.

Assuming you play basic strategy with the same doubling/splitting rules as the SBR casino for the same stake each game, the probability of you being ahead is as follows.

After 10 hands - 48.4%
After 100 hands - 42.1%
After 1,000 hands - 36.3%
After 10,000 hands - 15.6%
After 100,000 hands - 0.1%
After 1,000,000 hands - 0.0000001%

This assumes a fair 'RNG', of course.

I guess you havn't played the Blackjack on SBR haha.

**tony_come** · 03-19-11, 02:32 AM

No way pal

**the_mathman** · 03-19-11, 03:28 AM

I don't like web casino, because the lose is sure.
I play only here on SBR, because I can permit myself to lose 100 SBR points without big drama :-D

**kickenchicken** · 03-19-11, 06:52 AM

no i havent but i did stay at a holiday in one time

**STEVEREDSKIN** · 10-05-13, 10:36 AM

I have played for a long time had an incredible run for a week playing daily turned $500 into $20,000 cashed out $5,000 left the rest in eventually lost it all back in like 5 hours. Then several other times ran a few hundred up to thousands but eventually lose it all back it is too easy and addicting when you sit in front of the computer not to log in and play a few hands . Never again. It was awesome seeing all that $$ in my acct , but the feeling when you lose it all back not good and then you never stop deposit after deposit to get it back .

I won $36,000 over about 10 months from the old Bet Jamaica. My only advice has been mentioned above a few times. Set a bottom. There are so many hands and the action gets so quick, what you earn over several weeks or longer of chipping away can go up in smoke literally in a 30 minutes...or less.
Agree with the big bankroll too. BUT AGAIN SET A LOSS AMOUNT/TIME LIMIT. I broke that rule just a few days ago here at SBR and gave back 20,000 points.
Also, play alone with no audience, do not play at work and play sober. Play with no emotion, don't play after a fight with the better half.

If you chip away and set a bottom, you can do it. It's how I got my $36,000.

**good_money** · 10-07-13, 11:05 PM

whew i had to get 5dimes to disable that. too easy to hop on. would piss money on tilt

**warbux** · 11-18-13, 02:17 PM

**TheMaster42** · 02-04-14, 10:44 AM

**Monitor-Tan** · 02-04-14, 11:26 AM

You'd need the following:

6 Deck Shoe
BJ Pays 3:2
Surrender Allowed
resplit aces after split
DD allowed after Ace Split
Dealer does not hit on soft 17
Good deck penetration.

That'll be +ev for you..

Agree with dbartinbwgc. You have a point here, "hit it, win it, and get out". When you feel that your luck is on your side, take advantage and cash out immediately. Same thing with online BitCoin casino; if you feel that winning is in your hand, stop for a while and play again next time.

The best players are hit and run artists. Mini winning streak....OUT. Mini losing streak.....OUT. The key word is capitalized. If you play for more than 20 minutes, you are probably going down.

**SBR_John** · 02-07-14, 10:40 AM

I always win in the SBR casino. Just lucky I guess.

Best post of the thread

You will never win most times because they are rigged . Here is $100 i put in with Sportbet.com which is run by 5dimes. EVERY time in here the results are the same.
