The only way to win to not play
some states it’s against the law to play online gaming sites for cash- I’m sure you have, but if you haven’t already- make sure you state isn’t one of them
Playing online poker for one’s primary income makes just as much sense as pooping your way rich.
On my lunch hours when I was working, I played blackjack for fun. I finally gave it up after losing over $3 million.......That’s why I don’t go to casinos to even play slots....
With the publicity of the WSOP after Moneymaker's win, a lot of the fish got good enough so that the margins for pros became really small. But now maybe the pros can get a livable edge... at least for a while.
I remember reading about a currency trader in London who started his day playing online poker and did very very well - he said his start aligned perfectly with the US and his early AM was when they were drunk and about to pass out - he cleaned up LOL
I hope there are a bunch of idiots trying to make a living this way. This man will takes their stimulus money and laugh all the way to the bank.
It’s like the fools “daytrading” these days.
Utter fools.
Amusing story about a Royal Flush.
I was on a flight to Nevada that was canceled due to weather. I was most pissed off as were others as this was a free flight. I am not a big time gambler. I do gamble a bit for free flights. My wife is the gambler. Oddly she is about even. I spoke briefly with one of those in the waiting lounge for the cancelled flight. He was a pilot as I and thus had common conversation.
The next day Harrahs whom was the company made it it all correct. They flew us to Bull Head City as was correct. The also gave us many free benefits in the restaurants and bars of their casino due to the fact of our one day late arrival. Harrahs are the good guys, they really are in the extreme.
Harrahs made my wife and my visit to Bull Head very good. We have returned a couple of times. All the casinos are on the Colorado River. One can buy a day pass for just a few dollars. Then one can go from casino to casino via a very rapid speed boat. It is great fun.
I oddly much prefer Bull Head City to Las Vegas. When we take a free flight it is great. I am a geologist and lastly pharmacist. The wife person plays the games for a day or so and thus insures a new free flight in the future. She is a computer software engineer. As a geologist I just rent a car and drive around the basin and range of the Rocky Mountains. The last day wife and I just run out to Grand Canyon. Next time I will take her to Mohave instead of Grand Canyon. She has not seen Mohave.
Their casino at Lake Tahoe is most excellent also but they do not give freebie flights there unless one is an very avid gambler. Harrahs Las Vegas I do not care for. I just do not like Las Vegas and this has nothing to do with Harrahs.
The gambler, He was a chopper pilot from Vietnam and a retired major and commercial pilot ATPL and a real nice guy, he drew the Royal Flush. He was the gentleman that I had briefly spoken with the prior day.
I asked him if he was all in on the bet. He said yes. I asked him how much he won. He just said it “was considerable.” What a damn good day for an old chopper pilot that laid his ass on the line in Vietnam. He was an engineer. The table he was playing at was for those that could only bet considerable amounts of money.
The good guy won that day.
