Casino games (based on self experience)

Hi pokerfellas,

I would like to share my experience for those who play poker but also play blackjack and any casino games (such as roulette). Avoid those games! I mean what is the point you build your bankroll slowly then burn it up faster? If u want to have huge amount of bankroll, don't ever touch that game. FYI, I believe the blackjack game in online casino (live not software ones) is not rigged, but they manipulate the odds. They add the decks into 8, you couldn't split until 4 cards, cannot double on splitted cards, thus it makes the casino odds to be 57 percent (if u use basic strategy) and 58 (if you don't). So it means you only have 42-43 percent of winning each hands. The normal odds for blackjack is 53 percent for the house. Remember, they never rigged the game, but they rigged the odds.

Same with roulette, right? Rigged odds with the 00. Have you ever heard of the Pelayo family? They came up with a strategy for this game. Pretty interesting.

Everyone should know every pit game in the casino is edged towards the house.

Play them at your own risk. If you want to go out and have some fun, there is nothing wrong with enjoying a craps game with friends or blackjack.

But if you are trying to build a BR and using it on that, then it can be detrimental.

Its much better to stick on playing poker.Its better for the long run and saver for your bankroll.

I agree, I hate the casino options. .they are tempting to play. I have lost more on stupid Bj than anything... its such a joke...dont EVER play in the online casino, you will lose!!

Personally, I've never paid for a BJ in my life.

Used to enjoy an occasional flutter on the roulette tables when the Playboy Club first opened in London. We used to go there for lunch from work and I have to admit that I was pretty lucky. Effectively got a free lunch 2 or 3 days a week.

I agree about online casino games though, they are generally too far in the house's favour and I generally avoid them. The only exception to this is when I started out playing online poker I get a free Casino $5 from one of the sites (I think it was william hill but it was a long time ago and I could be misremembering that), anyhoo, I ran that up to $20 on their BlackJack and then transferred it over to their poker site where I still lost it but at a much slower pace than was likely in the casino games.
