It was a combination of the confidence here, a lot of free time, and a bitter taste still in my mouth, but probably won't happen till after football since I have 21 poker books sitting on my to do table (Hey I've been in the money in 2/6 tournies at Fulltilt so far)

I reccomend you look at casinomeister's accredited (and rogue as "definately not play") lists. There also used to be a casino section over at Bonuswhores.com, not sure if it's still there..

Boss and Microgaming software is good, Playtech I seem to recall some recent issue with, Wagerworks is fair but slow. Not heard of real, may be more recent than my casino play.

RTG, real time gaming? Great fast software, built in USA but used by several shady operators.

Ahh.. Yea know it by that name. They were shady even "back in the day", I think they were blacklisted at one point because they didn't stand behind operators, I remember they had nice software though.

Sean, I can assure you that were hit by some very bad variance. I and several friends have casino whored for the last couple of years and none of us have lost over a large sample. I few quit early on the one's who stuck it out have been very successful. You are a sharp guy so i'm sure you were playing correct strategy, but stopping once you've met the rollover is one of the few important aspects of this. Unfortunately, your list from five years ago is going to be severely outdated. Just about every casino out there has changed its rules and disallowed blackjack and other good games. I only play it rarely now as i have focused my resources on sports, which i find to be far less time consuming and far more enjoyable.

Kingbill: Your statement that the casino always wins is so naive i don't know where to start. You have been watching the Travel channel too much, where they tell you that getting 'comps' is your best way to gain some sort of advantage.

Yes, I was reading some rules at casinos now and many have banned blackjack.

I dont plan on learning video poker (There is nothing more boring than slot machines - I actually once paid a girlfriend to play through $3000 in free slot credits at Atlantis)

Thus, casino bonuses may not happen again.

That combined with 5 to 4 is not a good ratio. With 50 and 100% bonuses, it should be 20/1.

But I'm in the money for the 3rd time in 7 tournies on full tilt, so this poker on top of sports seems to be where it is at.

As WVU stated, the golden day are over, but still plenty of gravy out there to be had if one wants it and has discipline.

When playing online casinos, I avoid the bonus, the roll over is how they keep most of their money. You just have to know Casinos Always win in the long run.

The number one thing that makes me money is discipline. Give your self a number of what you want to make, 3x to 4x my deposit is what I shoot for. I play BJ, Roulette, video poker and Carib Stud. I always seem to win early and lose late so once I hit the target number I take a payout. The times where I have the most trouble is when I hit the target early say after 5-10 hands but I'm there to make money not play cards.

This is the exact opposite of how to play casinos.

The scary thing is, you brought that up with 100%+ bonuses being offered. Does MBM, really matter?

Another thing, Sean and I know others do this, like to flatbet the minimum until they reach the wagering requirement. While a safer play, as long as your BR can withstand the variance, betting larger is actually a higher ev play and saves time, so it's a no brainer.

The reason is that by better larger (say 50$ a hand an a 100 for 100 bonus) you only wager the full amount much less than half the time. You either bust out very early or wager all the way to the requriement. In any case, your TOTAL amount wagered is less, meaning the house edge has crippled you less.

WE can pose the question differently - who here thinks the online casino software is fair and randomized?

Yesterday I put $100 into Omni and got their $100 risk free bonus. After wagering only $335, or 13% of my WR, I had lost $98, and that was by mainly playing $3 a hand, and never going over $5.

you should put 100 on first hand and if win, grind out the roll.

Sean, a 100 unit bankroll in online BJ is pretty aggressive. It's been awhile but I remember there being constant 40-50 unit drops and experiencing drops of over 100 units. I guess you probally had at least a few hundred units overall so I think you just got extremely unlucky, or added too many rtg casinos ;)

The list was '03 and solid, only places I had played and was comfortable with myself. Mostly microgaming, boss media, some playtech and definately no rtg (I never played at an rtg casino).

He gives it to you if you give him a bunch of good sport tips

I gave it to a few bonus hustlers when they were starting out, I gave it to sean as an exchange of info (I showed him casino whoring, he helped me out with sportsbetting). We both actually lost money on it, him with casino's and me with a capper he recommended (I caught the one bad year).
