    If you're serious: find out how much you'd be okay with losing each week and stick to that to bet with each week.

    Making money gambling online can be done if you stick to certain games and amounts of money, for example I play European roulette and in a couple of hours can make 250 or 300 hundred dollars.... Getting the money off the casino can be difficult though especially if you win large amounts >:(

    Most companies don't like it if you win a lot from them and they'll block your account.
    It's not as clear as that but it's one reason that they'll do it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage_betting
    That's one reason they'll do it for sure. I don't really understand the whole thing but basically it's a sure fire way of getting money and as far as I know is usually considered acceptable if your account is closed if you use arbitrage betting

    Just do whatever faccid wants to. Thats what I do.

    Work the system dude, sure what could possibly go wrong - apart from a sign falling on you?

    Well first off it's very easy to put money into the accounts, but when it comes to getting it out they'll ask for you to email them a picture of your passport or drivers licence and your credit card. Then they'll decide if they want to pay you or not, my advice on it is not to get greedy and win to much cause they will close your account if you play everyday and win over 700 hundred or so, they want you when you lose but not when you win.... P.S don't accept free money off the casino cause it will be near impossible to get any money you win FACT.

    Gambling is a mugs game. Online gambling just makes it a lot easier for a deluded fool to part with their money.

    The house always wins...

    An elderly English couple came into shop i work in about 2 weeks ago to buy a diamond ring. They didn't look like they had a pot to piss in yet they bought one of the most expensive rings we had. Turns out they won 6 million euro on a online casino.

    Learn to play texas hold em and try your hand at that. I know two guys where I work play it a lot in the casino (one of the lads is very good). They generally turn a reasonable profit when they play.

    Never hear of American roulette? Nice try though you were nearly funny.

    It's all about value OP. It's better to back a loser that odds that are too high than a winner at odds that are too low.

    Once you grasp that you'll be flying :)

    Not if you do it as a hobby. I budget myself 20 euro per month to spend on paddy power online. For my 20 euro I get enjoyment and more interesting sports to watch. If I win great if I lose its only 20 max per month.

    Poker if you're good, work at it and are disciplined can be profitable - mostly because the bookies have no stake in the outcome.

    Poker is where it's at, if 6 of us pay $10 into the pot then one of us will win it, the house just takes its rake and that's it, if you can cash in most of your games you will turn a profit.

    Games of pure luck against the house you'll never turn a profit long term.

    Get good at poker and you will.
