Post by: Samwise on January 21, 2005, 01:15:47 PM
...money gambling online! I\'ve been playing a bit of Texas Hold\'em for fun, now it\'s time to profit! Or cry about losing, whatever. ;)

Think I\'ll try a casino as well.

Any of you peeps been gambling much lately?

I don\'t gamble online with my credit/debit cards. I don\'t trust that crap. But I hope you win the big bucks. :)

I just play with friends also.  No big money either, usually just for chips.

Hee hee.... There IS a hooters here, but I\'d probably treat you to something seedier...like VOELKER\'S BOWLING ALLEY. As seen in "Buffalo 66". It\'s 4 blocks from my house.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!

I just won $550 on a slotmachine! Seeing as how I\'ve spent $50, this makes for a profit of $500! :D :D :D

DeAnna, I\'ve been playing at PokerStars as well.

Heh, I got tired of the slot machine, so I put my last $300 on red. I lost.

Oh well, at least I had a lot of fun (and in the end $25 profit, which I\'ll use on poker tomorrow). :)

How can you play poker on the internet?

Isn\'t 99% of the game reading the other players?

A good buddy of mine is a Proffesional gambler, and makes quite a bit of money online.


He actually goes online at my house, plays on my PC as me, and gives me a precentage of what he makes.


You\'d be surprised if I told you how much I get.

I think Samwise is developing a gambling problem. I don\'t start up with this because I know I won\'t be able to stop.

Nah, I only tried it because I know I can handle it. I came out on top, not losing any of my initial money.

It is fun though, so if you\'re weak you shouldn\'t play... it gets pretty addictive.

I realize that, I was just saying that gambling is fun because you read the other people.  You see their manorisms.  You pick up on what they do when they bluff.  

You don\'t get any of that online.
