    5dimes and BetPhoenix have live casinos with chicks dealin cards are real tables with cameras on them where you watch them shuffle and whatnot and they dont know how many people are gonna sit down so they dont know how they would even stack the deck.

    those are the Only kinds of online casinos anyone should play.

    I don't understand why any of you play online casinos. Are the women who deal at BP real people? I think they are animated.

    You can't even spell casino, I'm not shocked you can't figure out how to beat them.

    Find good bonuses, read the rules, figure out if it's +EV. If it is +EV then play, otherwise keep looking. If all else fails bet it all on red in roulette then start threads about how the casino is rigged when you lose, but at least spell casino right when you start the thread

    Cant get screwed over if you stay away. Thats what I would do. Why risk money on something when you cant say for sure its not rigged somehow. I know a lot of people say sports are rigged, but they cant all be rigged 100%.

    Just tried the Sportsbook.com Live Dealers. Seems pretty odd that they have real dealers just for people on the site, but it SEEMS like it's legit, since she welcomed me by name as I got there. Might have to investigate further if I get some sports wins

    Even if sports are rigged you still have a 50% chance of picking the right side because you are choosing

    look at entire cities like Las Vegas which are built on the loses of gamblers. You might as well say the same about land based casinos. There really no difference.

    you have about 45% and after everyone done choosing team A, team B will cover.
    it's rigged after you are done choosing, my friend. Nothing you can do, can't cancel bet .. remember

    Guys and gals... a casino, online or otherwise will not offer a betting game to the public unless that casino knows the people who play will lose. They will not offer a game that people will win on.

    The only way you can win at a casino is if you have an edge. And if you have an edge, they just won't allow you to play. Of course having an edge doesn't really matter wiht an online casino because you just don't know if it's on the up and up or not.

    I've never played in an online casino before - it always seemed like it didn't make sense to me. My thought process is this: how do you make money in a casino? Not because it's +EV (because house games are never +EV), you win when a statisically "unlikely" set of bj hands / roulette rolls goes in your favor. ie. You win 8 out of 10 hands, or 15 out of 20, etc. In real life, with true randomness, I feel like these things frequently do happen (casinos still make money long-term because they're doing 100,000s of hands a day, so percentages always drive towards the long-run average with their house edge). With online casinos, I feel like they can make the computer spit out whatever "randomness" it wants in terms of how long it takes to correct back to the average... So if you've won 7 hands in a row, it'll start correcting and make you get back to even much quicker than could happen in the real world. Or 7 of 10, and you lose the next 7 out of 10, etc. A computer will just be too "true" to real odds, which are not in your favor, imo.

    Online casinos are pretty bad, I like babble the customer service spews at you. If you are smart enuf to stay away or hit a little and leave, kudos. You are best just to turn them off.

    Two questions fellas.

    1. Have there ever been any memebers in here that have even claimed to have won any winnings, playing these 'Casinos'?

    2. Why are a lot of people stupid enough to continue playing them?

    While I'm sure there are some online casinos that are "rigged" and are an outright scam, the more legit casinos don't need to cheat or mess with their random numbers because ALL casino games are already RIGGED in that the house has anywhere from a small to a large EDGE.

    The analogy I like to use is that any casino game is like playing a special heads up poker against the casino:

    the house deals it own hand, and then deals your hand, then you must discard all cards ten or higher, but not the casino.

    Sure you will win sometimes when your pair of nines beats Ace high or pair of fives, but you are handicapped and will lose in the long run. No rigging necessary.

    There are exceptions like certain "full pay" video slots with the right pay table played over the long run and combined with a comp program or bonus to bring the proposition to +EV, but the fact is most of the "advantage" scenarios are probably not going to be fun or recreational for a player looking to win some money this way.

    Don't get it twisted -- they still can cheat you.
