dont tend to use the casinos but often play poker.
Only way ive seen of making a few quid on the online casinos is to a be a bonus tart (this is posted from an old thread in the traders room)
Having seen the previous thread about betting exchanges - I thought I would tell you about casinos which are a good wheeze. I have won about 2,000 over the last 3 months on them. Here is how it works. Casinos give away free bonuses to attract punters. There is a lot of competition out there (about 2000 online casinos). If you download a casino say Intercasino.com (I've seen them advertised on this website!), and deposit 80 the casino gives you 80 free as a bonus.
They will insist that the bonus is gambled 25 times before you can withdraw it. So you have to wager 25 times the bonus (ie 25 X 80 =2,000) before you can withdraw it. There is only one game that you can play where you can successfully wager the bonus and still walk away with your money and the majority on the bonus (ie the house edge is low so if you play to a plan you will walk away with winnings). Roulette is not acceptable because you could bet 100 on red and simultaneously on black (with only a tiny risk).
The game is blackjack, and it does not matter if you don't know how to play it. Go to www.wizardofodds.com and download a card which will tell you what you should play whatever card you receive in the casino. The house odds on blackjack vary depending on the software the casino uses but are typically 0.5%. This means that if you wager 2,000 you will lose 10 (of the bonus money). Wagering 2000 takes some time because you must wager the least possible amount per hand (to reduce variation to a minimum) 2 in the case on Intercasino.
EG 80+80-10 = 150 which is 70 profit
I know what you are thinking, this can't be true, surely the cards will be rigged against you! But bear in mind that casinos don't expect you to pack up your bags and walk off with their bonus. They expect you to lose the bonus (because you do not play a "system"), and then lose your own money, and continue to lose your money- because you are hooked.
I nearly fell off my chair when I started winning money. And remember this is not gambling - or rather it is gambling - with their money not yours (some sites allow you to deposit your money, give you a bonus, you can then withdraw your bonus, so you are only playing with their bonus).
There are loads of reputable casinos out there - I am sure others are on to this wheeze.
Hopefully if I keep winning I will be recycling the winnings into shares!
