Woke up at 3 am couldn't sleep>>. Played a little blackjack ended up losing 319.00 dollars WTF!!!! Geeze these games seemed also rigged.... Had 11 3 times doubled down each time drew a friggen 3 or 4. Then of course the dealer got his blackjacks and twenties.. I got 40 left in 1 account this will be my farewell to online casinos!!! I think over the years I never won.. Atleast in Vegas I walked away up money!!

You will get it back!

Stay focused.

IMO thats how they get you to lose...they make you think you can double up and get it back...I would not play at any casinos online ...better off playing poker..at least you have "SOME" control

The ONLY way you can beat BJ online is to take advantage of bonus offers from casinos.

BJ is highly beatable in the casino through card counting.

It still amazes me the ignorance of the general public when it comes to casino games. The math is right there for you if you do some research, and yet the masses flock to games with negative expectation and ripoff odds like 6-5.
A suggestion for you: consider the game you are playing, take into account the rules and playing conditions, then calculate the house edge and/or your edge. IF you cannot figure this out, DO NOT PLAY because you will LOSE. If you can figure it out, then you can decide if the game is worth your time.

KNOWLEDGE is the cheapest thing in the universe, yet the masses continually disregard it.

NOTHING WORTH HAVING EVER CAME EASY, FOLKS!

I swear that i have heard from some very very credible sources that these games are not rigged, and that some have better odds than vegas. I must concede that you guys are correct in the fact that i have never ever walked away a winner. the bottom line is that i must admit that i have been up pretty good on these casinos, but have always blown it back. I have to conclude that the crux with these casinos is that we go in there, and because it is only computer $$$, we continue to play either trying to hit the home run or until we hit the inevitable losing streak. In vegas, we see those chips in front of us, and know that the cashier is right there 100 feet away, and that those winnings translate into a nice dinner at a 5 star restaurant. My ultimate conclusion is that they are probably not fixed, but it is better to wait for a "real casino" like the ones in vegas where you get free drinks, look at hot chicks, and get free rooms.

I will bet anyone here that the reason you never walked away winners from online casinos is becasue you did not stop playing when you were up!!! Gurateed you got greedy thought well hey i won so far so lets keep going, then you go down and you simply tried to catch up and made bad wagering desisons. Its alot easier to hold $1000 in your hands in chips and walk away from the table and cash out at the cage then it is to see $1000 on your computer screen and log out, right? Besides whats your alternative, log out and go listen to the wife complain or cash out your chips and go to a nudie bar and celebrate your good luck.
Loosing it not proof that games are rigged, especially if you are playing at online casino software that has been around for a few years. Greed is the reason you lost not someone manipulating the game while yu played. Anyone who thinks that casinos employ people to watch every player logged in and react real time to the cards drawn is really nieve or just a sore looser.
Anyone care to wager with me on this one?
