Default Casino Disabled

I know people mention it to disable to casino if you can't stay away from it. I was just wondering who has done this and at what Book?

Also has anyone been turned down by the Book? I am kind of interested of one of the "A" books would not do this.

Not trying to be rude...

But if you need a book to disable your casino access perhaps you shouldnt be gambling at all..

Never understood this...why people would gamble but then ask to disable casino...

I would guess it would turn into one day disabled...next day enabled..next day disabled...

Just close your account if you cant control yourself.

From what I have read on this subject over the years, here it is in a nutshell. If you send an email to your book requesting the casino option to be turned off, most of them will honor your request. Although once the book disables it... then it's irrevocable, and can't be reinstated.

I asked BetJamaica to disable my casino access and they obliged.

Thing is, Jimmy, it takes away the temptation for me to even think about playing a game I have no chance of winning at. I've never won playing online blackjack in my life, but I've had 2 friends make thousands doing so. I watched one good friend win $15000 right before my eyes.

what happens next- hey, I want some too, you know? Fu<k that. I'm keeping my money.

had em diable my casino at BJ

thing is I had em re-enable it.

my issue is, I can get ahead, even win big, but I never cash out even while I am far ahead, and of course once I start losing, I chase to get back where I was, lose my patience, then...

I have the casino disabled in all my sportsbook accounts.

I once had an account at Pinnacle that wasn't disabled. I was working with a Russian tennis handicapper. We agreed that he wasn't allowed to use the casino, but he did anyway (and made 20k).

Regardless of past results, everyone would do well to shut off casino accounts. No good comes from them.

I had my pinnacle casino account disabled at my request a long time ago. Good idea I think, of course you can win sometimes but most of the time you probably will not. I did win 3500 once though at orbitalcasino, but overall would have lost more. Try to avoid personally.

I'd have to agree with you here, Justin.

There's absolutely no shame in disabling the casinos.

does anyone remember back in the days when bigboydan couldn't even write a coherent sentence? WTF happened now he is writing like he's smart.

I know some of the old school cats here remember, when isetcap created gimmick account spellchecker to make fun of dan's grammar and spelling?

Look at the quote, how in the hell did Dan write that? Must be someone else.

he may have taken heed of the criticism and decided to write more carefully.

Or perhaps he went to AA.
LOL!!!!


Does anyone win consistently in online casino's?

What about these blackjack strategys?

They say the Assume dealer has a 10, never bust(rarely hit past 11 or 12) and the play the dealers style
are very bad strategys and you should follow these charts.
LOL

but frankly I did better when I assume the dealer has a 10 and rarely bust.

Casino's can be +EV with the right bonus complete with roll overs AND if you can play perfect strategy. To play with your own money in a on line casino is very -EV. If I get offered a no deposit bonus to play in a casino I will. Betfair and Canbet have both done that for me. Needless to say it didn't cost them anything.

Now this is a great post! BBD had some problems with my friend Spellchecker but after a couple months SBR decided to hire him and now he works behind the scenes. IMGV even gave him his avatar!

Spellchecker had some classic posts, though. I really miss him.

Bodog lets anyone practice all they want in their casino with play money. I know that isn't as exciting as losing real money, though.
