    "A" Book casinos - Be honest - have you played them?
    I know most of us preach to others and to ourselves to stay away from the online casino's, inevitably you will lose!! But for those who can do the hit and run tactic or have good money management skills to "walk away" when things turn bad, have you profited at all and if so from which book?

    It would be good to hear which books have software which will allow the players to win, but again inevitably, if you stay there long, you will lose lose.

    That being said, I turned my 1st week SBR winnings ($227)into a a nice smalll 4 figure, played the casino and ran it to high 4 figures, requested a nice sized money transfer, which only took Bookmaker (Thanks Bookmaker ) only 5 minutes to transfer to Jazz for me, and you guessed it proceeded to lose a lot back in the casino.

    I was so pissed at myself, for doing that, that I told jazz what happened and they said the best thing to do is lock myself out of the casino part of the website, so I wouldn't be tempted. And that is what I did. Even though I made a nice amount at BM, and I was stupid to play some back, I want the posters of this forumn to maybe learn from my experience, that if you play, make it just for fun, and maybe a little can turn into a lot, but to leave your big wagers for the sides and totals. I know that you can win at Bookmakers Casino, but just make sure you leave when your ahead, or if your losing, to definitely limit your losses. On the winning streaks, it's great of course, but when the losses pile up, we will yell its fixed. We never yell its fixed when we are winning though

    I want to thank Bookmaker, SBR, and the Prick!!

    Good post, yea blocking the casino part of your sportsbook site is definitely one of the easiest ways to save money on the planet.

      I have played BJ at WSEX and Video poker at a couple sites. The most i have ever used in a session was a $20 bankroll, and that might be two times a year. I don't think it makes sense to get hooked on them or even keep them as an options as I have know a few drinkers who said F it and just gambled all their money away in a casino on a binge.

              I always play the loose change in my 5dimes account on the supposedly +EV Full Pay Deuces Wild game, down or up the next $10. Just a weird habit. Probably down a couple hundred at that stupid game.

                      Yeah it's like horse racing and boxing video games, that you bet on. You can play them for free with play money. Of course I would be ahead when I played for fun, then when I played with real money I lost.

                        I think I won $1K at BJ's casino then lost it all...reminded myself AGAIN to stay away from online casinos. I rather lose my $ betting sports, heh. I should go back to Poker where I could at least turn a profit ;-)

                          I got involved heavily with offshore's and gambling after a significant loss in my family (Yes!!! I am a degenerate). Was down 3 k at diamondclub casino ... ran it up to 12k lost it all (bordeline sucidal after that), ... ran it up again to 12k lost 4k and cashed out 8k. After reading all these stories I am suprised I got paid (10 years ago). The bug came back in Feb of 2008 with Superbook. Hit a 9 to 1 on the giants scoring first and winning the game as well as the giants ML for 2,300. Cash 2 k out and ran the 300 up to 2000 playing craps(almost losing all of it along the way)...Well, I eventually lost it and haven't played any bet over $5 on craps or BJ again.
