Anyone into On-Line Gambling?

Anyone that is familiar with my propensity to visit Southern Nevada, knows that I "enjoy" playing Black Jack. Recently I've been playing a great deal of free on-line Black Jack. Based on my track record I've been thinking about putting real money in.

I have a couple questions for anyone that has tried on-line gambling.

1.) Did you notice a legitimate change in odds once you started playing for real money?

2.) How did you go about putting money into the account? Since most credit cards frown on this activity, they will not let you charge the amount.

Please note, you do not want people to know you gamble, just send me the answers in a PM.

I don't do it (gambling that is, I'm far too cheap!) but I would assume you could do it via paypal or something?

You can get a paypal debit card and just transfer money into there from your bank account or whathaveyou.

Again, I really don't know... just throwing out an idea for you. :)

Well, I typically use PokerRoom.com. They accept NETeller, FirePay, direct bank deposit, and credit cards from people outside the US.

Wait a minute, why do I feel that my odds may be slightly skewed with this option? :roll:

I'll admit it I've been suckered into online gaming once and wouldn't do it again. I had a couple drinks in me one night and I was playing the free versions on _____Palace.com. I was doing pretty well so I thought I would give the real thing a shot. All of the sudden my lucked changed real quick, but hey I guess it's true to form of playing in a real casino.

Rule #1: Never Drink and gamble!

I don't even drink alcohol when I'm at the tables and its free.

I use www.internetcashcard.com .

You get an account with them (they mail you a card)... You can add funds to that from your bank account and then use the internet cash card to fund your nasty gambling habit.. :wink: The percentage that they take out is much much lower than Neteller and those other ones...

And I've only done online poker so I don't know about the casino websites and if the odds decrease as soon as you're using real money....

Not too much to add here, but I have heard (from friends & family that have tried it) the odds change dramatically. As soon as you start playing for real money you definitely don't win as often as when it was the free game. The free winnings are just a trap to get you into the real game.

Yeah that sounds legit . . . :roll:

Enjoy the free gameplay or head to Vegas. I just don't trust these kind of sites. Sorry just my $.02
