Online Casino: Faster Way to Lose Money?
Well I know some of us have tried doing online gambling through some sort of poker website. I know when I was little I could not wait until I was 21 so I could use these sites. But then a law was passed and that option was far and few. But, in recent years, poker sites have been allowing US members to join. I found LockPoker and started using first their poker tournaments and then the casino. I really liked the poker rooms and casino at first but lately, it has just been downhill. People in poker tournaments are calling all-ins with 2-8 offsuit and others have great hands like A-K suited or better yet a high pocket pair. But what comes on the flop but a 2 and an 8 so the other person is winning and eventually wins. It makes me wonder are people just that bad and that lucky or do they have an inside edge?
The same goes for the online casino especially blackjack. I have had many what was suppose to be "winning" hands only to be beaten by the best hands a dealer could have for you. Let us take my one experience. I bought in for $100 for blackjack playing $25 per hand. First hand I get a 20 with dealer showing a 6. I of course stay and the dealer has a 16! No way I can lose! Oh...wait....he draws a 5 and wins. What can be worse than that you say? You get 20 again and the dealer shows a 7 only to turn over an 11 and draws a 10. These are the kinds of hands you deal with when playing blackjack online. I have had bad beats at the regular casino but this? This is ridiculous! I have lost count how much money I have lost playing blackjack online. So what do I turn to instead? I try Let it Ride. While I am still biased and thinks the computer generated cards want me to lose, I seem to win more there. I play $6 per hand ($5 for hand and $1 for bonus) and win a decent amount of times to keep winning. The big bucks is win you win that bonus. That occurs when you have a flush a better with the starting prize of $75. Hey a profit of 75x I will take that anytime!
So what is my strategy with online casinos? Bottom line do not play large quantities at a time. Stick to poker games where at least a lot of the control is based on the person (hopefully there is no hacking) and yourself. Who does not like bluffing someone with the worst possible hand against a flop that has high cards and in the end, win the pot. If you venture out into the online casino portion, stick to games such as Let it Ride. You lose a small amount each time but the gain for your win can be really big. With my experience, I have won more there than playing Blackjack where you lose to ridiculous cards! If you feel all you are doing is losing too many hands in a row, quit! Chances are, you will not hit a big prize that will recover your money.
Tomorrow, I hope to post my strategy for Blackjack that will hopefully make you guys large sums of money! :)

Blackjack: The Winning (and non-winning) Strategies
Ok so this post is going to be a combination of winning strategies I have found to playing blackjack and a story of playing that I experienced today. But first the winning strategies.
For those that have been playing blackjack for years, they know the things that they should and should not do while playing. If a dealer is showing any card from a 2 to a 6, a player is suppose to stay if they have a sum of 12 - 16 in their hands. The reason being is because the dealer is suppose to break. The odds are, the dealer has a 10 with the face down card and will draw another 10 and therefore, busting. Of course, if the player has something like 10 or 11 to start, then the player is suppose to double down because again, the odds are the player will get a 10. In addition, if a player has two low cards that are the same from both 2s to both 9s, then you are suppose to split because again, chances are the dealer will break. Does this always work? Of course not. I mean the dealer will have that 15 or 16 but will draw that 6 or 5 to get 21.
The other winning strategy I have discovered (well at least works for the most part) is observing how much your seat is winning or losing. Sometimes you just get lucky and sit at the right seat at the right time and you never lose. That has happened to me a couple times where it seems like I win 95% of the hands in one round. So if you feel lucky and cannot lose what should you do? Why not just bet a little more? I started doing that for that round. Instead of betting $25 per hand I was doing $50 per hand. Yes I lost some hands but I was winning more than I was losing. I stopped doing this strategy when I would lose two hands in a row of $50. When that happened, I would just leave and quit keeping my profit. I believe that day I made a $600 profit playing just blackjack for about two hours.
Of course there is always the bad with the good. Many times, as I'm sure we have all experienced, we lose more often than we win. Many of us think "Oh well I may have lost 4 hands in a row but my luck will turn around" and when you win that next hand you think bam I'm coming back. Most times not the case. To gain that loss back you need to win 4 hands in a row which most times will not happen unless you got lucky that day. My rule of thumb is this (which I wish I followed more often), if you buy in say for $200, try to keep your losses to only 50% of what you bought in. So in this case, I would walk away with around $100 so that way I felt like I had something and can come back to play another day.
So now onto the story from today. I woke up feeling lucky so I decided to go to our casino. I usually either play blackjack or let it ride, but since I have been getting some profit with blackjack lately I decided to play that. I found a table with a choice of two seats one in the middle and one at the end. I was going to pick the one at the end but some lady came over and took it so I played the middle buying in for $200. Well, let us just say I lost quickly a $100 playing $15 per hand. Of course though the lady who sat on the end bought in for $100 and when I left it looked like she had $500 at least in her stack because all she kept getting was blackjack or just hitting to 21. Again, lucky for her right place at the right time. So I left with a $100 left from that table. Buuuuttt, I did not take my own advice and went to another table to play. But I kept winning like 2 out of every 3 hands which you know is good more profit than loss. Then, this lady came to our table to play and lets just say she messed up the table for everyone. It all started when I had 20 with the dealer showing a 7. Of course I stayed and it came to this lady who has a 12. Of course you would hit but nope what did she do? She surrendered!!! Well that just messed up the other two people to the left of her. The one guy had 13 but got a 9 (which would have been this lady's card) and the other guy had a 14 and got an 8 (what the other guy needed for 21). The dealer flips over a 14 and draws a 7 (which would have been that other guys and he would have had 21). Sooo everyone lost on the table and this lady is mad at the dealer. So now dealing the cards again for everyone, the next card the dealer dealt is a 10. So what does this all mean? Everyone at the table would have won because the dealer would have drawn a 10 and busted!!! I should have realized this was going to be bad because anytime the dealer showed a 7, 8, 9, 10, or A and the lady had between a 12 or 16, she surrendered. Take my word for it. If the lady hit on her cards she would have won and/or helped the entire table win. Make matters worse, she was trying to tell me how to play my cards! With the one hand the dealer was showing a 2 and I had 12. Personally, just a terrible situation there. But, I have done recently is to hit because most times you will not bust. I am about to hit but this last goes ballistic with me hitting when showing a 2. Long story short, me not hitting made the table and me lose. Even longer story short, I not only lost the $200, I lost another $100 because the lady left for a little bit and I wanted to play more. Only, she came back like 5 minutes later and screwed the entire table again. Grrrrrr soo annoying. Does anyone have any stories like that they would be willing to share?
I hope your casino adventures are more profitable than mire were today!

Welcome One and All!
Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great day! So I will not get into the meat of my blog yet but instead, tell you what this site will be about. So sit back and relax while I explain.
First of all, if you are under 21, you should not be reading this site because it discusses the casino which involves people 21 and older. Besides, you should be worried about saving that money to move out of the house and getting into a good college so in the end make money and save some for entertainment like this. But enough with that. Let us move onto the people who are of age. This website will mention a couple different things. Some posts will be about stories I have had at the casino. Others will be about strategies I have found to be good for certain games. Lastly, other posts will just be me rambling on about the casino and all. Am I a Daniel Negreneau where I make 100s of thousands of dollars gambling each year? I am nowhere near close to that. I am just your typical average American where if I come home with a $100 profit, I feel like a millionare! I just like to share what I feel will maximize a wonderful time at the casino :).
